    We are from Canada and celebrated our 25th Anniversary in NY. We chose Carmines for the wonderful reviews we read. The food was delicious, and the value was outstanding. They serve family style so one dish can easily feed 2 to 3 people. Keep that in mind when looking at the pricing. Absolute 5 star experience. Wait time was minimal with reservation and we booked 2 months in advance. We would 100% recommend this restaurant and their very professional staff made the experience perfect!!!

    We recently dined at STK-NYC and it was a fantastic experience. My husband had the ribeye, which was cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and seasoned wonderfully, with a rich, flavorful taste that he couldn’t stop raving about. I chose the sea bass, which was beautifully prepared and had a delicate sweetness to it. While the sweetness was slightly more than I expected, it was still delicious and well-balanced overall. The atmosphere at STK was lively, making it perfect for a date night, and the service was excellent—attentive and friendly without being overbearing. We’d absolutely recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great dining experience in NYC. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
