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.

My sister Debra & I were happy to visit Palm Court though I miss the lovely ambiance when there was no bar, only little tables scattered around the room. (Bar added 18 years earlier than now, 2025.) Kabir was so attentive and we enjoyed talking with him, a man with 34 years of memories of Palm Court!

Katherin C was our waiter. She was so lovely and attentive and made our anniversary dinner so special. But her interactions with other table were just as wonderful as ours. What a wonderful employee you have. The food was outstanding and the venue stunning with all the greenery and lights. Definitely worth a visit. Food was priced very affordably as well.
