    We had a big group of 7 of us and wanted to eat close to the Lincoln Center prior to the Ballet. Smith was fantastic. The food was spot on, and the service was even better. This will be our new go-to when we visit NYC and go to any performances at the Lincoln Center. Thanks to the staff at Smith for a memorable meal with friends to kick off an incredible night

    I picked this restaurant by looking at online reviews. I could not have made a better choice. Our reservation was on time. We walked in, sat down and were immediately greeted by our server. Emily was her name. She was without a doubt, one of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of working with she treated my wife and me as if we were her only customer and we were the most important people in the restaurant. It was truly a special occasion for us. The food was everything that she had said it would be and everything that I read online. It was fabulous. We took her suggestions for some of the dishes we got and every suggestion she made was fantastic. I will go back to Carmines anytime I’m in New York City.

    Warm hospitality and thoughtful prep for my gluten-free needs. It’s the priciest afternoon tea around but the food and service was excellent. The muffin was really crumbly and fell apart on contact but flavorful. The lemon curd is the bomb! Wonderful!

    Exceeded our expectations. We chose to experience this iconic restaurant with our son to celebrate a special occasion, but the experience was more than anticipated. Service was EXCEPTIONAL, the food was delicious, perfectly executed and served with excellent timing. Manager checks table side, friendly staff, beautiful ambiance, STILL a fantastic restaurant. Definitely worth its pedigree of long term respect. Not just a tourist attraction…definitely worth a visit for anyone wanting a special dining experience in a lovely setting.
