carlsbad tavern

unfortunate miss for us. my wife and i went tocarlsbadafter seeing it on check please az. we were excited for a nice dinner out at a good restaurant. the meal started off good, we began with the potsticker appetizer, which was delicious. once we ordered our entrees the night began to go downhill. our waiter forgot to put our order in so we had to wait for quite a while to get our food. she was nice and brought us chips and salsa as an apology. once we finally got our meals we were disappointed. my stacked enchiladas were ok, except for the inedible carne adovada, which was extremely tough. my wife ordered the meat loaf per our waitresses advisement. she was let down by the very one note dish. for a restaurant that boasts lots of flavors it's was surprisingly mediocre. not horrible, but with the long wait and sub par food, we wouldn't recommendcarlsbadtavern.

great food slow service. i went tocarlsbadtavern last weekend for the first time for an afternoon drink and snack with my dad. we sat on the patio which was great given the weather, very unique place! the food we got was delicious, and the drinks as well. however my complaint is how slow our service was. it wasn't too busy for a sunday afternoon and it still too ages for us to get our food and drinks and to even be approached by a server!
on the contrary, the chicken tacos and habanero sliders we ordered were delicious!

carlsbad bruchettes are the best around!. my wife and i are big fans ofcarlsbadtavern in scottsdale. everything is made with such great flavors, with green chiles as the host ingredient in many dishes. our absolute favorite dish is thecarlsbadbrochettes which is a skewer with chicken, shrimp, sirloin beef, peppers & onions, all served on a large tortilla with beans and 3 types of dipping sauce. it is a masterpiece of taste, color and beauty. we have also enjoyed the green chile macaroni and cheese and green chile mashed potatoes, which are delicious. i feel safe in saying that no matter what you order off the menu, it will be great! we lovecarlsbadtavern and after your very first visit, you will too.. ;)

carlsbad tavern is fabulous!!!. my husband, myself and many, many friends have enjoyed this wonderful place for all of the years that it's been open. we feel so spoiled to have such tremendous food and service available to us! all of our out-of-town guests are treated tocarlsbadbecause we know they'll be blown away, first time, every time.
i recently read a review about this restaurant talking the food up (no one can dispute) and the service down. we all can have an 'off' night, but this writer suggested profanity and an almost fist fight from the servers, this is preposterous and ridiculous!! i suggest that the author is a disgruntled ex-employee. pay no mind.
you'll love the menu and the personal attention given by the owners and those who serve.

poor customer service.. i am new to the area and went off the recommendation of good ole urbanspoon ( which i would use again). i arrived atcarlsbadtavern, nice resturant and clean.
i ordered the lobster enchiladas, they arrived quickly and hot. third bite into my enchilada a nat lands on the surface of my enchilada, i scrapped it off and continued eating, about fifth bite in( still on enhilada number one)
i noticed that the rice was hanging on by a piece of lint.
after that i was done, i couldn't eat anymore, appetite over. the waitress takes the food to the back, comes back and tells me that it wasn't lint, that it was a grain from the rice and ask me, " would you like me to bring it back out" , i'm like no. you would think she would discount the bill as i hadn't even eaten 20% of my food.
she brought me the bill, i paid it, but of course left her no tip.
like i said the food good, customer service not so good. i would go to taco bell before carolsbad tavern.
