Best Date Night Restaurants in Dartmouth

Saturday January 4. The Venetian is the epitome of Christmas festivities, colorful and decorated tastefully in every possible space. You must make it a family tradition to go during the Christmas season. We ordered the rigatoni à la vodka with shrimp and scallops, pasta was perfect al dente, shrimps were tender and scallops were sweet. Appetizer was eggplant, stacked, olive oil and seasonings, no tomato sauce and was actually delicious enough to order again. Food and service was excellent, so was the wine and cocktails. A favorite restaurant! We will definitely go back again and again. Before you sit, check out which table they want to seat you at and make sure it is not in the back room where they put screaming , out of control kids, which is the parents fault and not The Restaurant. There were two tables, each had three or four children, one table so well behaved and the other table thought they were on the hockey rink. Before a parent complains about my insensitivity, I have five children and five young grandchildren, and they all know the difference from Restaurant behavior to schoolyard rowdiness, with guidance from their parents . I hope the parents at that table read this. Viva La difference’ and Happy New Year.

Service was stellar! Our waitress was very attentive. Food was also very tasty- the new fried Brussels sprouts were very good. Only issue was the kitchen must have forgotten to fire our kid’s chicken tenders. She munched on her fruit and fries and legit the tenders came out last. It happens- she still ended up eating them all.

Cisco Kitchen held a New Year's Sushi Brunch that was excellent. Their sushi is always good but the brunch took it to another level - Selection of different sushis, different noodle dishes, miso soup and other Asian dishes. All for $30 per person which is a genuine bargain. I'm glad we were able to attend - Thank you Cisco kitchen and your chefs!

Good service, tasty appetizer and meal. Music/vocals much too loud for size of dining area.

Very sweet place! This was my first time at Carmines. I took my sister in law from out of state. I got the muscle littleneck app. Unfortunately they were not fresh.at all. Waitstaff amazing! My sister-in-law’s steak was good. Would go back for sure.
