This was our second visit to Tony’s and it was even better this time around. It was only my daughter and I, so we ordered the special Chicken Parmesan with Vodka Sauce and Burrata, and a side of rigatoni with broccoli, garlic and olive oil. It was absolutely delicious! For dessert we had the mini cannolis, which were incredible. Our waiter was fantastic! The restaurant was very pretty all decorated for Christmas. The noise level in the restaurant was “energetic” and it was a little bit hard to hear the music and each other talk. But, overall this was a fabulous experience. Still one of our favorite restaurants! Be sure to make a reservation at least a few days in advance. The place is always hopping!

We’ve eaten at Carmine’s a few times now but we love eating there during this time of year. Carmine’s is the perfect spot for a festive holiday meal! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with beautiful decorations that set the holiday mood. The service is top-notch—attentive and friendly, making you feel right at home. Their family-style Italian dishes are absolutely delicious, with generous portions that are perfect for sharing. So, for being in the heart of NYC, it’s a decent value for our family. Whether it’s a holiday gathering or just a night out, Carmine’s delivers a memorable dining experience

I have been to all the other Mermaids locations and I just love them .They are well managed, food is great, and the service is always good. Had no idea this place was here for 3 years. I will most definitely come back and probably next week ;-) TY

Wonderful late lunch at Kellari; the atmosphere is really nice well decorated and our service was super! Great selection and fresh fish. The prix fix lunch was very nice; 3 courses for $39.90 and our server most helpful in helping us decide what to have. We will be back! COnvenient location too.

We each had a different entree and all were excellent, as was the wine. Dessert and appetizer were also delicious. Wait service was prompt and courteous. All in all a perfect late afternoon lunch with friends before Christmas.
