Nice atmosphere Sometimes the food takes ages to arrive (ridiculous ages), but it's OK if you have time to spare...the atmosphere is really nice. It's a good place to go for a glass of wine on a random evening.

Great! – I just had dinner at Carpe Diem for the first time and I thought it was excellent. The food was delicious and very flavorful (especially the mussels) and the ambiance was great. There are comfortable couches for coffee or an informal meal and a more traditional restaurant (plus outdoor seating). We had absolutely no complaints about the service...our waitress was helpful, attentive, and very friendly.

Yummy food – I ate lunch here and it was delicious. I ordered the salmon ciabatta with the soup of the day (coconut crab) and they were both very good. Our server was very personable, and she gave us directions to some cute shops.

waste of time / money – I've been here a few times. The building / atmosphere has potential, but when you factor in poor and slow service, and mediocre at best food, why would you waste your time and money at a place like this? Decatur is in dire need of a nice mid-price place to eat, and this place doesn't even come close. You're better off going to Fellini's next door. Much better food and friendlier service there, which is a joke considering Fellini's is a by the slice pizza joint.

Venue looks good, food and staff aren't up to scratch - hungry ants!! – We should have known that the place was slightly chaotic when the hostess seated a couple who had arrived after us first. Once seated we had long island iced teas. They were mediocre at best. The french onion soup was simply concentrated beef stock with a little cheese on top. We sent it back. The tapas arrived about 30 minutes later, all at the same time. Some of it had clearly been sitting for quite some time. Following comments relate to the tapas onl... read more

Yummy food! – We return again and again for lunch! It's a favorite of ours! Wonderful salmon sandwich on ciabatta bread. Great lamb sandwich, delish crab cakes when they have them, and desserts are wonderful! Took my brother and his SO when they were here from CA and they loved it too!

Worst service and management ever!!! – This restaurant is a complete #*@$&@#$ and their manager is even worst. I went last december there for the first time for a company dinner. The waitress dump the food on my Jacket, shirt and pants. The manager, Tim Shaw, gave me his card and offered to pay for dry cleaning. I sent everything to the cleaners, but my pants did not survive. I called and talked to the manager and the moron told me, oh yeah , I remember, it was "such a drama", can you believe that, the stupid waitress puts a... read more

Great customer service!! Best atmosphere in the city.!!! – We met at Carpe Diem for dinner the other night. We were seated promptly and served drinks just as fast. We started with the Calamari which was cooked perfectly and served with two delicous sauces. I had a filet which was the exact temperature I ordered and melted in my mouth. My friends entrees were also cooked to perfection. After dinner we enjoyed dessert and coffee drinks. Overall a fantastic experience.
