Carmine's

I'm not a place to often check a place, but Carmine is really worth checking. Above all, my friend and I came expecting not to have a table open, as we did not reserve and look through the windows from outside, it looked very busy. To our surprise we could sit right away. Right when we settled, they ordered us immediately. Kat was our waitress who served us for our anniversary and she was amazing. Personality was wonderful and recognized our anniversary when she didn't have to. She also helped explain the menu, specials and some seasonal elements that we did not see in the menu itself. The other waiters were also friendly and informative about their menu. The place and the ambience were beautiful so it was a wonderful place for a romantic dinner. Although the night was busy, our food came in a timely matter. They also offer outdoor seating with heating, but we did not sit outside, so we are not too sure how hot or cold it would be out. The food was well seasoned and made easy both my friend and I filled. The desserts were amazing and we will definitely come back to try their sorbet. Despite the place that is expensive, we have expected it with the location in a wonderful place in Bellevue, clean and sophisticated atmosphere, and amazing employees. 100% worth the price and experience. We both wanted to come back and get our parents to try Carmines. I hope one of the owners/managers at Carmines appreciates Kat because she did a wonderful job tonight. Thank you.

I mistakenly thought that this place with another restaurant turned out that we enjoyed our dinner here. Service was the strange friendly and very romantic atmosphere. Her food was a delicious and huge selection of wine. I had a truffle risotto dish it was delicious but very rich. Everything else was well cooked. There are indoor and outdoor seats. This place is super busy on a Friday night, so I recommend a reservation. Price is on the high aspect due to semifine food and is in Bellevue! Parking is difficult to leave so early so you can't hurry.

Dinner Rsvp at Carmines made for my birthday, only available time on Sat night was 9:15. We arrived on time, was shown to a tiny table in the corner, although there were several larger tables that were not in more center position. It took 15 minutes before a waiter came to our table and apologized because the server responsible for our table had already left for the evening... We were finally offered water, drinks list and fresh bread. We ordered the garlic shrimp and burrata as an appetizer, the sauce for garlic shrimp was amazingly delicious? so good We had to use the bread to soak every last piece. For the net we have osso buco and duck. Both dishes were delicious, but not almost as impressive as the shrimps. My duck was crispy and overcooked, but duck breast was very rare...obvily not in sync. For Dessert we ordered their red velvet cake, and our server has not only added a candle for me, but also graciously compose them since his,my bday. Very appreciated his friendly service and attention during our meal.

The ambience is good and the staff is helpful. This is a chic restaurant, but the food is honestly average. Gnocchi and the tomato soup were all right. I liked the bread they served, and that's what it was about.

I was there to celebrate my god daughter's graduation. We had the best time ever. The setting is so lovely surrounded by flowers and amazing staff. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the daily special which was risotto with crab and mushrooms. One of best risottos I have ever had. My god daughter had a pasta dish with mussels and she loved it. We were pleasantly surprised when our sweet waitress, Miriam, brought us a serving of tiramusa with the words Congratulations written in chocolate. So sweet. Such a wonderful experience. So grateful.
