    We were so pleased with our first visit to Carmine's. My husband and I usually travel to NYC alone, and have never gone before because we heard how large the portions are - and they are NOT kidding. There were 7 of us for dinner, and we shared a Caesar Salad, Cheesy Garlic Bread, Rigatoni Bolognese, Eggplant Parm, Veal Scallopini, and Tiramisu and it was perfect portions. Only thing we took home was the Garlic Bread (which the 19-year-old scarfed down likely before it made it to the hotel fridge.) Paul our server was fantastic - happy to see our family reunion the day after Christmas with family from Myrtle Beach. The restaurant is crowded and loud, so expect that - but it's a fun environment and you can tell it's mostly families just having a great time. This dinner capped off a perfect day celebrating the 19-year-old's first Broadway Show.

    Visited Quality Meats for a family Christmas Eve dinner. Food was impressive and exceptional in taste. Felt that the dining experience exceeded the dollar value of the meal. We were very well attended to and the service added additional satisfaction to our visit. Will certainly dine again at Quality Meats.

    Aretsky’s Patroon is now our favorite New York restaurant. Period. From the moment we entered we were warmly greeted snd shown to our table. A few minutes later Gene Aretsky came up to our table to thank us for our patronage and to make sure we found everything to our liking. He was followed by our waiter, Stefan, an exemplar of elegance and efficiency. We ordered our meal — we split a Caesar salad, my wife ordered the halibut and I ordered one of their signature steaks. Then, as we were enjoying our salad, the owner, Ken Aretsky, approached our table and made us feel like old friends. It was a memorable evening to say the least. The food was excellent, both beautifully presented and prepared to perfection. Aretsky’s Patroon should be at the top of the list for anyone looking for a restaurant that lives up to the best New York that the city has to offer.
