- AAlvinvipCaribbean •20 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWell, I made last minute changes in my party size. Those people know what service is. Hostesses were incredible, made the impossible to sit us. Servers (Luis & Francisco) took care of our starving kids with so much love. That's why it is one of my favorite restaurants in the US. At any location they have an incredible culture of service. If I say thank you, I am short. Blessings and happy holidays.More infoSmith & Wollensky - New YorkPrice: Expensive• American• Midtown East•4.6

- NNicoleNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoI recently had the pleasure of dining at Carmine's on 44th with a large party, and I must say, the service was exceptional from start to finish! The hostess made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, and the attentive service continued throughout the evening. I spoke with the manager, who went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, ensuring we had everything we needed for a great experience. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect for our gathering. I highly recommend Carmine's on 44th for its fantastic food and outstanding service!More infoCarmine's - 44th Street - NYCPrice: Moderate• Italian• Theater District•4.6
