- OTOpenTable DinerLas Vegas •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoWe 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!!!More infoCarmine's - 44th Street - NYCPrice: Moderate• Italian• Theater District•4.6
- NNadineNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoLove the cheeseburger, even if the brioche roll disintegrates pretty fast, and tomato slice is tasteless. Great sauce, though. Fries could have been fresher, as in, just out of the fryer. Cocktails teeny but tasty. Love the hot fudge sundae!More infoCafe LuxembourgPrice: Expensive• French / American• Upper West Side•4.8
- AAlexaGreater Boston •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoElvish really went ABOVE and beyond. I honestly think this experience was undercharged and I never say that. They had coat check, made arrangements for my nut allergy without me even asking, I had 3 points of contact congratulate us for our anniversary. We genuinely didn’t expect anything and they surprised us with a dessert. Then I believe was the manager is started with a Y- I’m so mad I forgot her name was so personable and took the time to get to know us and really make our experience memorable. My boyfriend and I walked out and said “Wow that was the best service we’ve experienced from any place”. Do not hesitate and reserve your spot asap, especially during the holiday season. Thank you guys for making our evening so amazing.More infoThe Palm Court at The Plaza HotelPrice: Very Expensive• American• Midtown East•4.4

The portions of each course of the meal are huge! Don’t order the same as your partner. Try different things and share! We love Aunt Jake’s. This was our 4th time to dine with them, first time making pasta!More infoAunt Jake's Pasta ExperiencePrice: Moderate• Contemporary Italian• Upper East Side•4.9
