We come here every year for the holidays. This time was one of the worst experiences we’ve ever had. The server questioned everything we ordered (chicken parm and penne with marina) and told us it would be “cheaper” to do the chicken “over” the penne. We said no, we want everything separate like we always do and that money was not an object (like why are you deciding what I want to spend?). We got NO bread service, no refills, and got a dish of literally lukewarm chicken over a serving of pasta that was at least half the size of what we’re accustomed to. Worse was watching the table next to us get a completely different experience (including bread!). From the same server. Not sure what was up but it was not ok.

The best hospitality, the best food and the best atmosphere! No one is ever sad when they are at Carmine’s. Today random tables, including mine, joined in singing ‘Happy Birthday’ with the staff to various tables; more than once! It was a fantastic time. We always leave with a smile on our face, full bellies and a bag full of leftovers. Highly highly recommended!

We LOVE carmines, we always go when we are in NYC, but this time was awful. We are SO BUMMED. The waitress was late, rude and short with us. At one point she picked up my sons Arnold Palmer & never said anything to us. 20 minutes later when we asked about his drink she said, “oh there are no free refills.”… I replied “we would have paid for another had you asked.” She then put in orders of drinks for us but I know she personally sabotaged. She told other waitstaff she’d take care of us, but it was purposeful and neglectful. My Manhattan had too Much bitters in it, that it was dark brown in color. I watched her with the bartenders manipulate our drinks. We LOVE carmines, but was so upset about this experience. Alecia was our waitstaff name, beware.
