    One of the best experiences I’ve had in New York. Had to book pretty early in advance due to the Valentines Day weekend rush, but got a lovely early afternoon spot. The atmosphere was so elegant & classy. Our waitress Mary Alice was so kind, accommodating, and overall such a pleasure to interact with. Yes it is pricey, but the experience and the quality of the food/tea was well worth it.

    Overall experience was superb for Valentine’s Day. We tried to get a little bit of everything but the ribeye was top notch! Please ask for the chimichuri on the side. The buffalo cauliflower was cooked and battered to perfection and not soggy. The Korean wings had a great sauce to it, and the garlic bread was great as well. Food was hot & fresh on arrival ending with 2 big slices of strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting. Ask for Ken (kenneth) he was a great vibe of a waiter!

    I picked this restaurant by looking at online reviews. I could not have made a better choice. Our reservation was on time. We walked in, sat down and were immediately greeted by our server. Emily was her name. She was without a doubt, one of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of working with she treated my wife and me as if we were her only customer and we were the most important people in the restaurant. It was truly a special occasion for us. The food was everything that she had said it would be and everything that I read online. It was fabulous. We took her suggestions for some of the dishes we got and every suggestion she made was fantastic. I will go back to Carmines anytime I’m in New York City.
