My experience with the management staff person, Jennifer, was over and above!! We had a reservation for 7 in the dining area, but when we arrived, we were escorted to a high-top table in the bar area. Jennifer got involved and was able to secure a wonderful table in the dining room within a few minutes. My grandchildren, daughter, friend and I all had a delicious lunch. All the restaurant personnel provided excellent customer service and are to be complimented.

I will never NOT go to Carmine's while visiting New York! It is the absolute best food every single time I go. Portion size is unbelievable, plenty for 4 hungry adults. Calamari was excellent! We ordered the special for the day, can't remember the name but it was penne pasta with a spicy sausage and vodka sauce - 10/10. Make reservations early!

We all ordered the prix-fixe lunch menu which was excellent. Great choices, well prepared, friendly, yet professional service. We were celebrating a friend's birthday who loved it. She said everyone made her feel special ( she is special). Thanks for making her feel that way.

Lovely afternoon tea in a fabulous hotel - we loved it! Annie, our waitress, was absolutely lovely, warm and friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The two ladies who greeted us on arrival for the afternoon tea were less friendly and welcoming. Lovely food though - well done Whitby!
