The food was amazing. The waiter we had was very nice, and the gentleman who was training him was also very nice. They both gave us tips on serving and advice on what to prepare with our leftovers. The restaurant was decorated beautifully for Christmas, and the food was delicious. They even celebrated our anniversary. We will definitely be back.

I realize that it’s New Year’s Day and that it’s busier than normal, but it really wasn’t that busy in that restaurant. The food came out and drips and drives. Waiters didn’t know where to put the food. They put everything on one side of the table while the whole other side of the table was left empty and there were nine of us. I realize there’s a big venue, but whatever

Our first experience at Carmine’s Atlantic City was disappointing. We visited on Monday, December 30th, with great expectations. Walk in to a nicely decorated room, and were sat downstairs. Although surprised at the cafeteria style table arrangement we settled in and felt comfortable. Regretfully the night went downhill from there. Our server was abrupt, and got upset because we asked for menus. We told him it was our first time dinning there, so instead of explaining how it works and pointing to menus on the wall (honestly we thought they were decorative reflecting past history) he said well let me see if I can find some, and after a long while drop the menus at our table. With 8 of us we were not sure what or how to order. Our waiter was somewhat helpful, but you could tell he was impatient. We ordered a salad, that was very good. We saw bread delivered to other tables and asked if bread was included or we had to pay extra. He said it was complimentary and would be served with the salad. Well we ate our salad, and after a long wait he came to ask how was the salad and we said it was great but no bread ever came. He responded that they had ran out of bread and the chef was not making any more… OK, we were surprised (Italian restaurant and all) but rolled with the punches. The food went from great (lasagna) to run of the mill chicken parm with ziti, to an awful chicken saltimbocca. The chicken parm was thin and almost burnt, and the chicken saltimbocca (very thin and dried) and the accompanying spaghetti was lukewarm, almost cold. Since we were celebrating my BFF birthday, we ordered a bread pudding. Waited about half an hour and started to wonder if the lack of bread was to blame… when it finally arrived with a few candles and few wait staff singing happy birthday (very nice gesture). I would caution that this was our experience, that we may have hit it on a bad time, and give the waiter the benefit of the doubt. I nor my family would return or recommend.
