Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in West Village

Our meal was very good. We only had a party of two, which is a bit of a challenge for a restaurant where food is served family-style. For most people, an entree can easily serve two people. If you are light eaters, perhaps even three. We shared a chicken scalloping in lemon butter sauce ($32). The chicken was very tender, and the sauce was good enough to dip bread in. The dish also had a bed of sautéed spinach below the chicken. We also shared a mixed greens salad ($30) which was HUGE. It could easily serve 4 people. The salad was a nice mixture of greens with tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, pepperoncinis, and olives in their house Italian dressing. My only complaint is why they would put pitted olives in a salad. Not that hard to pick out and eat individually, but it would be possible to scoop one up with some lettuce and bite into it without knowing. The servers seemed to work very hard, though the number of tables they had meant it was a tad slow. The vibe was very good, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. We will definitely keep Carmine’s on our list for future New York trips, especially if we are in groups larger than two.

Very cozy and pleasant environment. Good diverse menu that can satisfy many palettes -- sort of a continental/french/italian fusion restaurant. Would please a foodie. Excellent service and wine advice and a fun playlist for an enjoyable evening. Seafood and steak specials were excellent, as were scallops, meatball sliders (though they tasted like a sausage/meatball hybrid), and chicken was tender and perfectly cooked. Will definitely go back. Not a full bar but a beer/wine menu.
