This place is a gem!!! I love their patio and they allow pups!!! The food is outstanding especially the Alfredo sauce!! Their menu is diverse and their team gives great advice!!! I am so appreciative of Teeann taking time our first visit (new to town) to walk us through and give recommendations!!! Not only was she a fantastic (always spot on service) waitress she took time to make us feel really welcomed. We’ve been back several times since!!! I highly recommend this place!!!

Service is top notch and the food is amazing, beer lines are noticeably clean. I had the grilled salmon with risotto and cheese bread as an appetizer. The risotto has perfect amount of cheese and seasoning and perfectly cooked as well. The salmon had flawless grill lines and cooked to a perfect medium rare. Excellent place for dinner, top of the list for my wife and I now.

Leaving one star is already too much. This Friday we arrived with a party of 7 around 5:30, it was very busy but we were excited to come to Carmines and enjoy a family dinner. We were told we would have to wait 45mns and were put on a wait-list, we had drinks while waiting, played some pull-tabs, but after over 45mns and TWO groups of 5 or less people being sat sooner than us after arriving AFTER US we went up front to the two young people looking after the reservations and arrivals. What they said when we asked why were we still waiting when people who arrived after us were sat before us? Well, "our booths only accommodate 5 people and we have no way of telling you when a table will be available next". THE AUDACITY! Why would you make us wait over 45minutes in the first place if you knew we wouldn't get a chance to sit down. Mind you, two of our party were a 3 and 6 years old. We could have fit in a booth. So as our first time there it was a disaster and we regret ever giving our money to this establishment with how we have been treated. The staff needs more organization, and more social skills when it comes to treating customers.

Service is good. Vibe is lively. It could get loud too. Food is generally good. We tried their specials, pastas, flatbreads and salads. Everything was good except the risotto. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think risotto should be al denté.

Food was okay and overpriced. Service was great. We were sat next to the back room and it was extremely loud with all of the games in the back. We have kids so I'm not anti noise but it was louder than I expect a restaurant to be.

Service was good, kinda rushed because we came in within 45 minutes of closing time. The Cajun chicken penne was really good, lots of favor. Sausage & Peppers pasta was pretty bland and won’t order again.

Was here over the weekend. I’ve come a few times. Food is decent, but the staff and management are just not very polite or friendly. Just never really seem like they want to be there tbh. It’s a bit off putting. At least the prices aren’t bad

Was there for dinner last night amazing atmosphere Great staff I had the Papa T’s Italian meatloaf and my girlfriend had The surf and turf The presentation of both plates was outstanding and they both tasted great, servers were very knowledgeable about their menu snd had a great sense of humor , we will definitely go back

I’ve been to Carmine’s several times. Always enjoy the food and the ambiance. As soon as you walk in you feel welcome and it’s a nice view of the bar.Food is great and the drinks. Good beer selection.Normally I seat at the bar and appreciate the excellent service of the bartenders, David, Shane, and Jacob on Tuesdays.All in all, you can go to Carmine’s to eat, drink and have a good time.

Fantastic!First, easy to get to and plenty of parking.Second, friendly staff. Our server was very friendly. The one thing that I would've appreciated and would suggest, is some suggestions of drinks and also the menu.Third, the food. FANTASTIC! I really enjoyed the Penne pasta with sausage. Delicious and filling. We were all so full that we didn't have any room for dessert, sorry.I'm looking forward to going again.I hope this helps. Cheers!
