Was definitely a great experience. Wish there was a little bit more decor for Acrane, but it was still great. Super bummed they ran out of Shimmer Vials cups before we even got there so we were unable to buy some. Half the reason we attended was for those!

Great experience!! First time diners along with friends and we all enjoyed our time and food at Carasau. Tucked away in downtown Culver City, Carasau has private parking with security. The food was prepared and displayed with love and quickly. As fast as the food was delivered, it was devoured.

I loved every bit of it from the moment I got out my car the customer service was top tier to coming in and getting seated and everything carefully explained. Although there want a bartender I still had a ball eating and sparking up a joint. The decorations in the bathroom is amazing I will definitely be back and bring some friends !!!!!!

This is a really cute spot in the area. Quiet yet charming. And the wait staff was very attentive and pleasant. I French Onion soup was not at all salty, but had a rather sweet, nutty flavor. Quite a lovely surprise.
