"We love Carmen's for brunch. We are so sad that it is closing. We understand that the brunch, if there is any once they reopen after renovations, will no longer be on the roof. What a shamme to not have that view."

"The service was slow and at times some of the food station had run out of food and where not timely refilled. Overall the majority of the food stations were good, the area around the stations could have been better cleaned. The experience overall was good and a lot of the problems could be somewhat over looked do to it being Easter Sunday Brunch and the places was packed."

"It was an Easter crowd. We drew an undesirable table location, just by luck of the draw.
We have been patronizing Carmen's for many years. Sometimes exceptional, others not so
desirable. They are closing within a few weeks for renovations. It needs it.

"My husband,Richard, and I have been to Carmen's before. We were not disappointed this time,also. The mimosas and champaign flowed. The food was plentiful and excellent. There were even oysters on the half shell. There was also a pasta bar. One could go and eat any favorite as much as desired. It's also a great venue to take guests for a Sunday treat."

"This brunch is fabulous! The view and the price are incomparable to any place around the Palm Beach County area. I think that after the renovations, the restaurant, and brunch, will be on the main floor which will take so much away from the ambience. Too bad."

"Best brunch spot! This place is on the top floor of a Hotel and has beautiful views of the water. They have live music which makes it such a lovely atmosphere. The food tastes amazing (though there could be a few more options). And you can't top the all you can drink Mimosas (though they could also offer bloody mary's like most other places in this price range). Overall, great experience."

"This is an outstanding dinning / Brunch experience. Beautiful location, great service, fantastic food and exceptional variety. Good music, good service and a tremendous view. A little bit pricey but well worth it. The unlimited Mimosas and Champagne make up for the cost."

"Having been to Carmen's several times, I can attest to the food being very good. On Valentine's day, however, the service was less than the best. I think that they had too few waiters for the event and, because some were Haitan, there were language problems that resulted in incorrect orders and miscommunications. I further believe that my waiter was inexperienced, but that is merely a perception and may not be accurate. The food and entertainment were very good. One final note; I went there because of the ambiance and because the venue features a large dance floor. For some reason the floor was rather sticky, which was an impediment to our ballroom dancing."

"It was Valentine's day and the place was crowded and noisy from the loud music and chatter from the guests. Food service was slow. It took 3 hours to complete the 4-course Prix Fixes dinner. Dance floor was sticky and not suitable for ballroom dancing. Nonetheless, the food was very good and served at the correct temperature."
