    I was pleasantly surprised by Carmine’s given its location in a tourist area. The pasta was cooked al dente and chicken parm still had its crisp from the fryer and just enough sauce. Portions are for 2-4 ppl. Service was very attentive. Highly recommend for a family or group meal.

    Kazon was our server and he made our experience perfect. His timing on taking care of myself and my guests, along with his suggestions were brilliant. A must visit anytime of the year, but especially special during the holidays. We did dress for the occasion, and I highly recommend doing so. You experience a level of fine dining while being accompanied by fellow guests with the same taste, it’s a lovely way to slow time down in the busy hustle of Manatan❤️

    We enjoyed high tea to celebrate daughter’s birthday. Requested a window seat and enjoyed the ambiance and view. Shuba was very friendly and attentive throughout the afternoon. They even provided a birthday dessert with candle. Having a 4 pm reservation was perfect. We never felt rushed. Would recommend BG’s to anyone who’s in the area.

    Our group enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service at this restaurant. I give extra points to the staff, who were very attentive at the door, at the table, and at the bar as we ordered takeout for our colleagues who could not make the lunch meeting. Thank you!
