    We had a great experience. Food was excellent, ambience great. Sommelier was very nice and attentive. Service was good, only feedback is that the waiter could have checked in a few times more. Fortunately we had no issues, so it didn’t take away from the experience! Definitely recommend!

    Carmine's is my family favorite for Christmas Eve dinner. Everyone in the restaurant was wonderful--from the people checking us in and seating us to the people in the kitchen who prepared wonderful food. My last bit of praise is for the young woman who helped us navigate Carmine's menu to seeing that all our food and beverages arrived at the table with just enough time between courses.

    This was the first year ever that I have dined out on Christmas Eve so I was extremely nervous about the level of food and service on the holiday. I’m so happy that my nerves were wrong. The food and the service were outstanding and on the same level as a normal RPM experience. We walked in and it was so busy but the hostesses were so calm and very warm, friendly and welcoming. The service all around was so attentive. My parents were raving at the level of service on such a busy evening . Thank you for such a wonderful holiday dinner and experience.

    Great atmosphere and delicious food! Almost canceled our 9:30 pm reservation but so glad we didn’t. The place was packed but the service was efficient. We had both kinds of gnocchi, vegetable frites, Caesar salad and fusilli with three kinds of meat- it was all excellent!

    We had a wonderful anniversary dinner at Cynthia last night! From the moment we walked in, the people working there were so kind, even offering us a free class of sparkling wine for our anniversary. We tried several cocktails and enjoyed all of them very much. We ate the bruschetta, steak frittes, and both desserts. Everything was great, and the red chimichurri sauce on the steak really caught our attention! We had a lovely meal, and we would definitely return again.
