Best Restaurants with Dancing in Phinney Ridge

Our first time visiting Carmines. Food was delicious and service was amazing! Definitely would be back again.

The food, as always, was wonderful. My o Lu complaint is the timing of the food coming out of the kitchen. Everything came at the same time! We ordered pita and spreads. We thought those would come first and we could enjoy them with our first glass of wine. As it was - everything arrived together. Not ideal. We ordered espresso with our dessert. It came and then we waited and waited for dessert. Espresso was cold by the time it came out. They could work on their timing!

A beautiful location; view; decor; vibes; and wonderful service all around and fabulous wine. Having been to Como and Italy numerous times and a HUGE fan of Italian food, it wasn’t our favorite for food and flavor especially compared to other local options. The fried green tomatoes were very thick, hard to eat, lacked flavor, the focaccia was over toasted, the pizza was similar to standard pepperoni pizza you can get anywhere. Main dishes were okay but I was expected to be blown away compared to much higher price point than other local Italian restaurants we prefer. That said ambience, views and service AWESOME. Definitely would go back for drinks and the view!

Brilliant. What a wonderful place. Lauren the bartender and do-everything owner KT were excellent. Really customer focused. Food was not heavy. Salmon was so tasty. The hanger steak was done just right. The only thing we didn’t do was lick the plate but we cleaned it. Next time have to Uber so we can try the whisky flight.

Food was very good, drinks were great but more than everything I enjoyed the ambiance. Great for date night.
