   Carmines is my fave restaurant. This visit wasn't great. I had a reservation, I showed up 15 min early for. They didn't seat me till 15 min AFTER my res. I had to go up to the host desk 3x and basically harass them to get seated. 1st they said one table was ahead of me. Then sat 4 tables. Then when I asked them again, they said they had to get the 4 tops down 1st. That's not acceptable. I had a reservation and they were prioritizing others bc we only had 2. Already being annoyed when we were seated, our server wasn't the best/friendliest. We ordered right away bc we were already running late, and the food came 30 mins later. The chicken was tasty, as always. I asked to sub angel hair for the side of penne that came with the chicken but server said they don't do that. Very strange cause I been eating there forever, and a swap of pasta has never been problematic. I usually go for lunch or early dinner and everything runs smooth. I'll stay away on Sat Pm bc this visit wasn't the normal standard I've grown used to.

   Over all was ok. A little disappointment. The restaurant was behind in all services. Had a 7:30 reservation and didn't get seated until 8:15 pm. There was no where for the countless number of people waiting for their tables. Literally people and to stand in the service areas and exterior vestibule.

   Honestly not a great experience at all... waited over 45 minutes for a table after having a reservation. Not a great start -- especially because this was not communicated. Was told a manager would come to talk to us about this and never did. Once finally sat we had to ask for bread and it was given to us after our entrees were served with no butter or oil. Very dry and inedible. My husband and I ordered two entrees (one for each of us) and mine came out over 10 minutes before his. Overall poor experience for somewhere marketing themselves as the Rosebud brand. Will never come back

   Love Carmine's! The Jumbo Maryland Crab Cakes are always a good choice to start with. The Pork Chops Calabrese are amazing and the portions are huge! It can be a little hot on the patio when the heaters are cranking, but nevertheless always a good meal to be had!

   Great spot for our business lunch. All 4 entrees were perfectly prepared and delicious. Seafood in my pasta was as fresh and tasty as you can get anywhere.

   We had a reservation at 8:30 and were told the kitchen closed at 9:30 so we ordered immediately but when we asked for desert (at 9:40) we were told that nothing was available and everything had been closed. We felt very rushed. The restaurant is beautiful and food is great but the experience was very meh

    Everything was great, but the noise level is quite high. It is sometimes difficult to have conversations even at a table with four none of us have hearing issues.
