Our experience at Carmines was top notch. We were thrilled to be able to get a last minute reservation before our Broadway show. The food was incredibly delicious, the portions were large, and the service was excellent.

The food and the venue is fantastic. The staff in the reception and bar are great, good cocktail selection (the spicy margarita is spicy as hell but great) and the atmosphere in the restaurant is great. The starters are amazing - lobster toast was unreal and the steaks as expected are the main event. The bone in sirloin honestly isn’t my favourite, it’s hung and dried to long but the ribeye and the strip or the fillet are great - share a big cote de boeuf just avoid the bone in is my recommendation.

Took my mom here for her 77th birthday and was so happy it was still decorated for Christmas, what a beautiful sight! The food and drinks were amazing and the cost for 4 of us was reasonable! Would definitely come back to Papillon Bistro and Bar when I visit NYC!
