2023 August 3.5A nice setting in and outside Carmelina with a white grand piano for those who are skilled. Couches and patio furniture gives this place a nice engine to sit and relax. With few people willing to splurge on the expensive menu, it's certainly not crowded.Gourmet Bruschetta $19 6 pieces.Thick focaccia flat bread with tomato sauce, bruschetta mix and three cheese. Pretty good.Surf N Turf $51grilled beef striploin and jumbo tiger shrimp with red wine jus, mixed herbs and garlic butter, served with potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Well cooked. Meat had some veins and had some tough areas. Though a single shrimp hardly makes this much of a surf and turf.Torre Di Pisa $31grild veget...
This is my first time coming to Carmelina. We ordered frutti di mare (seafood linguine) and their pasta of the day (mussels fettuccine with white wine sauce). The waitress then asked me if I wanted bread but did not specify if it was complementary which was annoying. She then offered plain bread, garlic bread, or bruschetta. I then had to ask her if they charge for bread. Then the staff member just said it is a la carte but it was not on the menu. Seems to lack transparency.The food itself was pretty good. The portions were reasonable, but proportionally it felt there was not enough seafood in the pasta. For $36 and $32 respectively, there are definitely better options around.During our meal...
Great food. Very good friendly service. Only have an issue with lack of transparency with billing and upselling on menu items throughout night.Brought extra bread for big party without ever mentioning bread was at a charge. We asked for one dessert platter and they end up bringing one platter PLUS extra dessert items at waitress' discretion (of course which were charged per item).When reviewing the final bill receipt, truly felt transparency could have been better. We were a bit surprised by the billing.
I dined at this restaurant with a large group for a work dinner. The food was fantastic and there was plenty of it. The service was fast, attentive, and friendly. My only complaint was that the restaurant was a bit warm. They had large patio doors that were open, so the air conditioning didn't have much of an effect. It was actually cooler outside due to the breeze. However, I would still highly recommend this restaurant. The food is amazing and it is definitely worth a visit. You won't be let down.

Due to various reason we have not been to Carmelina for some time. We had lunch yesterday and it felt back home again!!!The Pasta, special of the day was Black White pasta with lots of seafood and WOW it was soooo good! If we go to downtown to have this quality and quantily of the meal, it will be easily 50% more of what we paid in here.Claudia is great and so do all the servers! One was there 23 years and this tells us Happy employees, happy customers :D
I visited Carmelina's for the first time today and had a fabulous experience. After a long day at work, it was wonderful to be greeted with excellent service from a lovely Ukrainian lady named Loui. She made us drinks exactly how we liked them, and the exotic cocktails were unique and delicious. The bruschetta was also very tasty. My best friend and I highly recommend Carmelina's and will definitely be back in the future.
What a beautiful place. The service is perfect. We brought our dog with us and the staff took care of her. She was more than welcome.The food is amazing, fresh seafood and pastas. Also, their bread.. OMG!!!!!!I recommend this place. Not for all budgets because it's pretty expensive but it's worth it.Also, special mention to their adorable gentlemen who were playing piano and singing. :)You must try this place
Food menu isn’t full of options but everything is very well prepared. Ambiance is very comfortable and classy the place is beautifully designed. The only issue we had was with the service staff trying hard to upsell us on everything and then a mix up with the bills. Looking forward to trying here again!

Short rib Risotto pictured. Was quire good, but a very heavy option. Would be a 5* restaurant with a couple more options like a bolognese and maybe some simpler dishes. Mussles are fantastic. Service friendly and knowledgeable. It’s a nice place. Best in the area probably.
I had a great experience at this restaurant, especially enjoying the live music on Friday nights. The food and service were outstanding. I will definitely be coming back.
