Welcome to Carpe Diem Restaurant and Caterers. Carpe Diem has been open since 1989. We have moved twice due to downtown business developments, but are now in our third incarnation at 1535 Elizabeth Avenue. Our interiors are done in a beautiful art nouveau style. Mahogany doors, copper lighting that vines around the wood work, and marble floors are just a few details that will engage you in the surroundings. Our menu features long time favorites, like our hazelnut crusted goat cheese salad, but has new items that will keep your palate interested. As always, we feature several daily specials for those of you who want variety.


At Carpe Diem, we take pride in providing you with gracious service. We want you to leave happy and satisfied, so all our staff are here to insure an auspicious experience.  We, the proprietors, sisters Tricia Maddrey and Bonnie Warford, are from Miami, Florida. Our interest in food grew from a love of the Latin and tropical flavors that influenced us growing up. Our American chef, John Blumreich, grew up in Europe and was educated at New England Culinary Institute. Together these culinary influences have shaped our version of “new American” cuisine.  When dining with us, we want you to truly “seize the moment” and let us take care of the details.
