Family run pleasant place with little or no effort to pretend that the restaurant is “fine dining” anymore. Mom and dad are talking loudly in the back watching television louder than the ambient music tracks - while the kindly daughter tries to manage the front of house - we were the only customers on a sleepy Tuesday night and food was tasty but not fresh, and service was kindly but not mindful.

We booked for an early dinner which turned out to be excellent food. The restaurant was quiet which was nice and the service was great.

Delighted that this neighborhood favourite has re-opened. The chicken tagine and lamb couscous were both fantastic.

We remember Carthage from its pre-pandemic time. The food and service now is abysmal. The person who appeared as owner was friendly, but that could not compensate for the poor food quality and the awkward and unprofessional service.

Server was on her 3rd day on the job and likely first time working at a restaurant. Everything was a challenge for her. If the restaurant wasn't empty, it would have been a long night for all concerned. We've been to this restaurant a few times before and enjoyed it. Not this time.

The restaurant was extremely hot and there is no air-conditioning or fan system. The food was very hit and miss: great salad, poor mussels. Good couscous, very poorly done steak. We were charged $12.00 for a “glass” of wine (no oz is listed on the menu, but an industry standard glass is 8oz), but the pour was 4 oz. and the white wine was not chilled. Service was alright - if a bit stoic. We won’t be going back.

Nothing to do with the old Cafe Carthage that used to be at this same location years ago. Same menu, sadly everything else is different.

Two of the people in our party had eaten at Carthage before & highly recommended it. We understand ALL restaurants are having staffing issues. Arrived at noon, only patrons the whole 2 hours. Very slow kitchen output. None of the food was served at the same time. Couscous & veg came close to an hour after ordered. Mussels serve without frites, waitress & kitchen had to be reminded. Appetizers described by waitress as small were actually quite large so we over ordered. Tasty enough but scallop & prawn appetizers tough, over cooked. Have seen online that original chef has left, might somewhat explain deficiencies.
