I have brought friends for both lunch and dinner; have also had vegan dinners there with the American Vegan Society and have never been disappointed. Food was great; staff was so accommodating and the setting was pristine and welcoming. Highly recommend

Went to dinner with friends, I was absolutely amazed at the whole dining experience from beginning to end. The service was was top notch and the students all worked liked second professionals. The food was delicious from soup to the entrée to dessert. I absolutely give the experience a A+ . The students are learning their job skills the old school way and it was refreshing to see them enhancing the customer experience. Give them a shot you will not regret it.

Always a wonderful experience at Careme’s!! This restaurant allows you the opportunity to enjoy delicious gourmet food, bring your own beverages (wine/beer) and have a lovely night out without spending a fortune. We have been there a number of times and we always have an excellent dinner. While dining at Careme’s, you are helping the students get experience working in a restaurant. * 5 Stars.
