Restaurants near Church of Saints Cyril & Methodius and St. Raphael

What a delightful experience! The restaurant is beautiful, staff is very attentive (Lana gave us recommendations that we really enjoyed) and the delicious food arrived quickly. We enjoyed live piano music during our Sunday dinner. Great spot for dinner!

This restaurant was great. We arrived at 8:50 for a 9 PM reservation. We were not seated until about 9:30 or 9:40 which was a little annoying, but the coach check gentleman did tell us that it was the busiest Saturday night of the year for some reason. It was a great meal. Everything was delicious. We tried the tableside all you can eat pasta and my husband had the chicken Parmesan, which was cooked to perfection. The prices were standard for Italian food in the city. You can come casual. There is no real dress code the servers were great. I really enjoyed our meal.

It was a little tricky to find the actual restaurant because it was inside of a hotel. Otherwise it was absolutely lovely. I had a party of 7. 3 of my guests arrived early, and were seated at my reserved table immediately. Junior was our server and took wonderful care of us. We ended up staying for a few hours because it was a reunion of friends and no one rushed us out. The Host actually said he loved our groups energy and welcomed us back. We had a great time. I highly recommend!

We’ve eaten at Carmine’s a few times now but we love eating there during this time of year. Carmine’s is the perfect spot for a festive holiday meal! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with beautiful decorations that set the holiday mood. The service is top-notch—attentive and friendly, making you feel right at home. Their family-style Italian dishes are absolutely delicious, with generous portions that are perfect for sharing. So, for being in the heart of NYC, it’s a decent value for our family. Whether it’s a holiday gathering or just a night out, Carmine’s delivers a memorable dining experience

This was our second time dining at Marseille, having dined there last year during our annual visit to NYC to see the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. That visit was very good, and this visit was excellent. The food is excellent, and the service is outstanding. I had the risotto to start, and the shortribs for my main course, and my companion had the salmon. All were done to perfection, and perfectly seasoned. For dessert I had the fresh berries with cream, and she had the raspberry sorbet. A couple of the things I liked about the restaurant was they did not have a laundry list of specials, which can be annoying to me. They also don't have a "diner" menu that encompasses four or five pages. It's just two pages, which tells me they prefer to concentrate on what they do well. Our server, Emilio, was attentive and knowledgeable, and I didn't spend an inordinate amount of time trying to get his attention. If your in Midtown Manhattan, and you wish to dine in an excellent French restaurant, go to Marseille.
