    It was another great dining experience at Caribou. We tried the lamb meatballs for the first time and they were delicious. We also had the seafood pasta and the blackened pork chops and both entrees were amazing. The only recommendation would be to try and have the sound deadened so it wouldn’t be loud during supper time . Otherwise we will definitely be going back

    I order the veal and had to send it back as it was very tough, the server was very responsive and reordered a different meal which was delicious. Will definately dine with you again as the service was wonderful.

    We had a fantastic evening, and the food was absolutely delicious. A heartfelt thanks to Danica and Nick for speaking with us in French, our mother tongue—it truly made the experience even more special!
