I have been to Carol Street many times and have recommended it to friends... BUT, if you go in after they've been cleaning, the smell of industrial cleaner can ruin your whole meal. I went on a Sunday morning and 3 out of 4 of us said that the smell was overwhelming. Waitress didn't seem to mind it and laughed it off when we mentioned it. The smell (like a strong pine cleaner or something) effected the taste of my food and I could even ""taste"" the smell after I left. This is not the first time I'd smelled it or mentioned it, either.
Pros: good food, good portions, unique atmosphere
Cons: the smell of cleaning fluid permeates the dining room
