    What a great dining experience on a busy Christmas Eve! Restaurant was full but staff were excellent and food was amazing - best filet mignon I think I ever had! Ordered ‘medium’ and was absolutely perfect! The other nice thing was that they paced everything nicely so we never felt rushed and had a wonderful meal over 2.5 hours. This is our annual tradition and they exceeded all expectations - thank you and Happy Holidays to all!

    One our favorite restaurants did not live up to expectations on our last visit. The branzino lacked the plump texture you would expect on this dish and the filet mignon was lacking flavor and the requested medium rare came out blood red and did not taste anything like a prime cut. The pencil asparagus was so thin that the portion was only a couple of bites worth. We won't write off this restaurant but will stick to the menu items we have previously enjoyed.

    This was our first visit to Carmello’s. The food was amazing and the service impeccable. My only criticism is that for first-timers, and in the rain, it was very difficult to find. There needs to be a sign perpendicular to the business like so many others have along the street.

    We’ve been coming to Carmellos for 20 years. Not only has the service gone down drastically, but the prices are out of control! The manager did his best to help, at the end, only after Zi asked him to walk with me to discuss away from the family. What an embarrassment. When we finally did receive the prorated check, there was still an erroneous bill for a whiskey we never bought! We’ll continue to have fond memories of how it used to be…No more… waste of time and $$

    Portuguese paella was outstanding, perhaps the best I've ever had. Others had beef and pasta and all very much enjoyed their meals. Recommended red wine was outstanding. Service was very good as was the ambience.
