by shannon e t. on we went for an entirely meh lunch experience. service was slow and we had to ask repeatedly for refills on our waters. the food took forever to come out, and when it did, it was underflavoured and overcooked. my omelet was brown and bland, my toast was brittle and my fruit looked more like a garnish than a side. perhaps i'd return for a drink, but i can't imagine choosing the same experience while sober.
by Leonida Kellam on I'm not a big fancy brunch person, I like my standard eggs and toast and homefries, so Carmen's wasn't really my thing. That being said, the food was pretty good. The options were: - omelet with all sorts of weird veggies you'd never think of putting in an omelet. - duck (do people eat this for breakfast?) - mint-chocolate-strawberry-almond-otherstuff waffles with whipped cream and more stuff on top. I got the waffles, and they were decent, but not worth 12 bucks. I liked the decor of Carmen's, there are tons of pervy knick knacks everywhere and she serves the food and drinks on mismatching dishes. She doesn't take credit cards, so make sure you bring cash with you. The police station across the street has an ATM that only charges you 50 cents.
