Carlota25.jpgLocated on Orchard Street, Carlota transports guests away from Dimes Square and into the South of Spain through its delicious and fresh cuisine. Pick your poison between Vermouth service or cocktails such as fresh sangria. Menu highlights include chorizo katsu sando and la plancha octopus with gigante beans and salsa verde.
