Restaurants near Manhattan NYC-an Affinia hotel

Been here several times but never for lunch. Great place to eat before a game at MSG. Service was excellent and the food was great. Had five dishes, shared everything with my friend: spring rolls, shrimp fried rice, a pork bowl, beet salad and the mango shrimp salad. Favorites were the beets and shrimp, but all were solid. Friendly staff and great value. Will be back soon !!!

I am glad I came back, as our dining experience this time was excellent. We ordered a la carte (rather than the tasting menu/wine paring, which was a bit underwhelming last time) and we were thrilled with the dishes and the service. I had not had the Bantijian Bil Laban (crispy eggplant) before and it was delicious. Our server was extremely helpful in guiding us to the appropriate quantity of dishes for a party of three and the sommelier recommended a delicious bottle of Greek red wine. The host and hostesses at the reception desk were kind and accommodating and the bartenders were attentive. A lovely dining experience.

I picked this restaurant by looking at online reviews. I could not have made a better choice. Our reservation was on time. We walked in, sat down and were immediately greeted by our server. Emily was her name. She was without a doubt, one of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of working with she treated my wife and me as if we were her only customer and we were the most important people in the restaurant. It was truly a special occasion for us. The food was everything that she had said it would be and everything that I read online. It was fabulous. We took her suggestions for some of the dishes we got and every suggestion she made was fantastic. I will go back to Carmines anytime I’m in New York City.

We had a magical and memorable evening. The food, service and ambience was spectacular. A view of the Empire State Building with snow falling was unbelievable

Being GF, I hadn’t had grilled cheese and bacon in years! It was amazing!!!
