Best Seasonal Restaurants in North Bergen

Service is impeccable. Tea is pricey but a lovely experience especially at the holidays. Worth the splurge

The food was great and the service was excellent thanks to a lovely server with a great personality and lots of suggestions.

My daughter and I went for dinner before a show. Our server Dawson was excellent! He was personable, knowledgeable and helpful. We started with the breadsticks with Marinara sauce which was delicious. We both got the Wood Roasted Cod and for sides we shared the sweet potato & kale Au Gratin and the roasted broccoli. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. It was absolutely scrumptious. We finished with the chocolate fudge topped with vanilla gelato and honeycomb. It was our favorite meal and dining experience in NYC this weekend. We highly recommend!

Our meal was very good. We only had a party of two, which is a bit of a challenge for a restaurant where food is served family-style. For most people, an entree can easily serve two people. If you are light eaters, perhaps even three. We shared a chicken scalloping in lemon butter sauce ($32). The chicken was very tender, and the sauce was good enough to dip bread in. The dish also had a bed of sautéed spinach below the chicken. We also shared a mixed greens salad ($30) which was HUGE. It could easily serve 4 people. The salad was a nice mixture of greens with tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, pepperoncinis, and olives in their house Italian dressing. My only complaint is why they would put pitted olives in a salad. Not that hard to pick out and eat individually, but it would be possible to scoop one up with some lettuce and bite into it without knowing. The servers seemed to work very hard, though the number of tables they had meant it was a tad slow. The vibe was very good, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. We will definitely keep Carmine’s on our list for future New York trips, especially if we are in groups larger than two.

Everything was outstanding! This was our favorite dining experience in NYC. We will be back and will tell our friends about it.
