Caro Mi is my favorite place to visit! The atmosphere is cozy, quiet, calming and beautiful! I love the sounds of the stream, crickets chirping, and the front porch rocking chairs. The covered bridge is so perfect to take wonderful pictures of the trees, stream, and the restaurant. Food is great, and service spectacular! Cozy little place tucked away in the mountains. Beautiful drive along the way. I highly recommend Caro Mi!!

Caro Mi's Dining Room once again surpassed our expectations. Our Server, Katie, remembered us from the last time we were there and that was 2mos ago. When she fileted my Mountain Trout, she took the head off first, without asking (she asked every other Patron in the room whether they wanted the head on or off.) Katie also added extra slivered almonds and butter with my Trout and brought us each a bowl of the Macaroni Salad so that I "would stand a chance of getting some." She brought Anthony an additional Cola, without asking, because he drinks very quickly, and she asked us specific questions about things we had discussed last time we were there. The food was delicious the entire wait-staff were quick,without being pushy, courteous, personable, without being nosy, and professionally efficient. The Owner was there greeting everyone as they entered, recognizing familiar faces, and making sure everyone was seated and taken care of quickly.,

I guess it depends upon the entree you order. What my wife and I both had was good. I had the cured ham which was saltier than my taste but was still good. The sides were all ok, except the baked apples/applesauce which was very good and made from local apples. The exterior and surroundings are beautiful and worth the visit alone. The inside ambiance was nice. Old country home atmosphere. Service was very good and attentive.

Even with reservations it took a while. We were seated pretty much on time but everything slowed down after that. It was ten minutes before our drink order was taken. Another ten minutes before we received the drinks. The same was true with taking the order etc. So plan plenty of time to talk and enjoy your friends. Even with the wait it is a great place. I suppose if it wasn't worth it they wouldn't be so busy!!!!

I grew up in South Carolina and this place is a legend and with good reason. Getting there is a beautiful drive off of I-26 through the foothills and piedmont of NC. The setting is amazing! The food is also amazing! The covered bridge and the front porch with the rocking chairs overlooking the river is so beautiful and relaxing. The name is an homage to the original owners who lived in the Carolinas and Miami. Highly recommended!

The chicken livers were great! My entree was trout- very dry and didn’t taste good at all! The service was great even tho they were running back and forth. Next time will get fried chicken dinner.

Make reservations early, expect to lose cell phone service here, they do have wifi. Nice view of the river, rocking chairs on the porch, small covered bridge that you can drive across. Table was ready at time of reservation which was 6:30. Placed order shortly after we sat down, we didn't get our food until 7:40. Dinner, dessert and coffee had us leaving at 8:41. Not used to spending this much time dining but we had a good time just talking. It's not a huge place so there's not a lot of noisy chatter which makes having a conversation very easy. We were told that there were a lot of orders ahead of us but we saw a few tables where people were seated, dined and left while we waited so we didn't really believe that. Trout, flounder and fried shrimp were excellent. Ribeye ordered medium was well done and too tough to eat. Macaroni salad, fried apples, biscuits with apple butter and green beans were good, slaw had a huge amount of vinegar and salt in it which we didn't care for. Key lime pie and Tarhill pie were both excellent.

Resteraunt was clean and the waitstaff was great. Slaw and macaroni salad come out first with family style service. I had the flounder and it wad perfect. Lightly breaded and moist inside. Nights are crowded, so make a reservation.

The 1st coming to this little gem. Tucked in by a big stream and mountains. Small menu but with big plates to choose from. Really cool how they put fried apples, cole slaw, macaroni cold salad, green beans and scratch biscuits with apple jam on table for whole party to enjoy. Party of 8, went early around 5pm, no problem getting a table with outstanding service. Will put this on my return list. Drove from Greer to try. Well worth the drive. Glad to see some restaurants still care about the food, service and the people that support them.
