I just sat at the Caroline patio and had a great time. Darnell was my server. He must’ve checked in me three times before I could even take in the ambiance upstairs. Great vibe, great service…having a blast. Thank you Darnell.

Upstairs at Caroline’s patio is a great daytime vibe. We came for happy hour after checking into our hotel. They have fire pits and heaters for guests. Our server, Tanner, was very attentive and gave us a great Italian restaurant recommendation.
