It’s immediately apparent that there are artistic talents at work at Carmelita. Michael Hughes and Kathryn Neumann, the owners, met in art school and Carmelita’s décor has the quality of art made from found items – antique linoleum, chalk board, you name it. The restaurant is named for Michael’s Mom. But the real art here is the food. The menu is made up of both vegan and vegetarian dishes which changes seasonally. The chef uses organic ingredients whenever possible. The chestnut custard starter is outstanding, as is every entrée we’ve tried. In good weather, peek under the deck and check out the restaurant’s garden.Â
