    Shared two selections as we couldn't decide. Staff was very accommodating for our request. Both choices - Beef Bourgignon and Black Bean burger were delicious. A shared generous portion of Turimisu completed our meal. Will definitely return ti sample more selections.

    This was my second visit to Caro on James. We had the brussels sprouts and arugula salad to start and it was excellent. I had the penne à la vodka. The taste was good however it was a little bit too a la dente. Also, it would be nice to have more sauce on it. My guest had the spaghetti and meatballs, which was delicious. Our server Kim was excellent.
