Seated promptly upon arrival. Was able to add a guest the day before. Food was excellent. Noise level was excellent. A individual in our party has a sensitivity to loud noise. She did not complain they seated us in a smaller area. Thanks again! See you soon!

I had changed my reservation on the same day so I was very grateful to the young lady who was able to get us in earlier, and she was very nice & helpful on the phone. We were sat immediately and the restaurant was very festive. We had a great, attentive waitress, Sara. I was disappointed in the food I have to be honest, Our Caesar was way overdressed and our entrees were not hot at all when they arrived at the table, like maybe they sat in the window for a while? Carmines was always a family favorite when the kids were younger, the portion size has noticeably shrunk (two large chicken parms that we had to cut to share and weren't enough for all) which I totally get but had I known we would have ordered differently. Gone the days where they arrive at your table with fresh ground pepper & parm cheese. Still a cool place to visit, but not as good as it used to be in my opinion.

Big restaurant felt like we were shuffled through and they were just trying to turn tables. Food was ok but nothing special and for the price definitely not worth it. We ate here because so many people recommended it and I honestly don't know why. I won't go back.

What a disappointment! We booked at 4:45p to make a 7p show. We weren’t seated until 5:30p. The service was slow. We ended up 15 min late to our show. Had we been seated on time, we wouldn't have been late. The food was good, but I would never book here again with somewhere to be after.
