From the owners of Il Terrazzo Carmine, one of Seattle"s most iconic and beloved establishments, comes Carmine's Bellevue. Carmine's Bellevue brings to the east side the same level of quality in service, food, and ambiance that has made its sister restaurant a true institution in Downtown Seattle. Located at 88 102nd Avenue in Bellevue's historic Old Bellevue neighborhood, Carmines is nestled against Bellevue Park. With a rustic, timeless interior, Carmine's provides patrons an escape from the increasingly urbanized way of life. Upscale and elegant, Carmine's feels anything but stiff and pretentious. Good for business meetings, special occasions, or simply dining with loved ones, Carmine's Bellevue is a true destination on the east side.

The atmosphere is great. We go to this restaurant for anniversaries and birthdays. The calamari appetizer is a winner. We had steak and seared ahi. Both were excellent and beautifully presented. Highly recommended for special occasions. We missed the Christmas boat parade but have seen it in prior years.

Nice dinner as always. It would be nice if they added some variety to the menu... at least a weekly special or something. We've been visiting since they opened and the menu has not changed. It gets a bit repetitive and we find ourselves looking for other places and options.
