The staff, as always, was kind and welcoming--attentive to our wants and needs, even on a busy evening. Their commitment to the community is evident. As for the food, it could use some improvement; perhaps my expectations are a bit high. That said, I'll still return for the occasional happy hour.

found this place looking for a cute date night and it did not disappoint. we were a walk in for dinner during the week and we got a table almost immediately. Dress code is more dressy and leans towards business casual. pretty lights and plenty of seating within restaurant. Our server was amazing and had plenty of recommendations as first time goers here. there pastas are above averagely priced but is expected for a restaurant like this. I had a steak dinner which was the chefs special for the night and it was really delicious. Portions were bigger than I imagined so good bang for the buck. I would definitely recommend trying there appetizers and at least one of their pastas alongside dessert. would come back if I ever was in the area again!

This restaurant is such a vibe! Great place to celebrate , catch up with your friends or just a business meal. We went here for anniversary lunch and The service was spectacular. The food was delicious and was served quite quickly. The calamari was outstanding. The pesto and vongole pasta was scrumptious too. The asparagus soup was hearty and filling. They do serve bread with butter with paired perfectly with the warm soup. Tiramisu was one of the best I have had. The liquor and espresso kick in it was transcendental. The cappuccino harmonized the entire meal together. This place will be even more enjoyable in summer with outdoor seating. Definitely making a come back ver soon.

What can I say, but Carmines knows how to serve up a delicious meal! They have it down, from service to executing the perfect dish. Everything is so good, including the atmosphere! Definitely the place to celebrate or just enjoy a great casual weekday post shopping dinner!

We had an incredible dining experience! The food was some of the best Italian cuisine we've ever had. The linguini with clams in sauce was perfection--flavors were spot on. The service? Just as impressive! Everyone was warm, welcoming, and professional, which made the meal even more enjoyable. As a big whiskey fan, I always try an Old Fashioned wherever I go, and Carmine's absolutely nailed it. They've elevated Buffalo Trace with their unique twist--it's a little splurge at $25, but totally worth it. Don't miss out on trying it!

I've been wanting to dine here for quite some time. I had a friend visiting from San Diego and figured this would be a perfect opportunity. I called and made reservations. The only thing they had available was on the patio. Which happens to be covered and heated. An a lot less noisy then sitting inside. They offer an extensive wine list, which was great. The food was incredible. I look forward to trying II Terrazo Carmine

We mostly ordered from the specials Lobster Pappardale - can taste the lobster and plentiful of pieces! Wagyu Tartare - absolutely delicious Burrata Prosciutto - flavorful Ambiance was very beautiful Great service Solid first date I'd say

I came here to celebrate my wife's birthday and my son's first visit to my childhood city, Seattle! Carmines is an upscale Italian restaurant just outside of Bellevue Park and a short walk from the busy shopping malls like Bellevue Square and Lincoln Center. Street parking is hard to find and the surrounding area is dark at night, so use their $12 valet. Note the restaurant is NOT the same Carmine's at the one in New York or Caesars Palace Forum Shops in Vegas. We went to that Carmine's last November and those entrees were so big you need 3-4 adults to finish one. The Bellevue Carmine's has much smaller, but equally high-quality entrees. You'll have room for dessert for sure! The Vodka-Cream King Salmon with Penne is a superb dish, and yes its okay for toddlers too. The alcohol should mostly be evaporated leaving a rich, creamy sauce and super-soft and moist salmon (5 stars) Cedar Plank King Salmon is another wonderful preparation of you like things alacarte like me. Super moist Salmon with cheesy linguine on the side and asparagus and baby tomatoes are a winning combination. (5 stars). Wife got the pork chip, medium well. Good flavors but probably better cooked medium to squeeze some more juice out of the meat. It came with some nice risotto so you're not missing out on carbs (4 stars). For dessert, you can't go wrong with either the panna cotta or the red velvet cake. Our son ate a good portion of mom's birthday cake.
