The Caro-Mi Dining Room has been in existence since 1945, when the original owners, the Mehafeys, moved from their native Miami, FL, and built the business in the area that is now the Greenville Watershed. The restaurant was re-built at its current location in 1957. The Stafford family purchased the Caro-Mi in 1990 and continues to offer southern favorites in a relaxing, rustic atmosphere.
