We dined at the bar & everyone was happy w/ their apps & dinners. The dry-aged ribeye was perfectly cooked & I highly recommend the lemon risotto... Awesome date night! ?

First time here. took senior parents for moms bday. food was great but service better, our waiter was awesome, great listener and accomadating to our needs due to some diet restrictions. the highlight actually came from a poorly cooked sirloin for my wife, the manager came over helped her order a better steak option for what she wanted and even topped off our wine for the inconvenience. 100% would recommend.

Appetizers (cheese board and shrimp skewers) were really good! Entrees were even better! Great quality steak, friendly staff, a little noisy around 6:30pm but overall great place!!

An absolutely perfect steak - I ordered the ribeye and it was cooked spot-on medium-rare as requested, seared to perfection, with an exceptional char on the outside. It was a nice thick steak accompanied by dazzling garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli that was still crisp and smoky from the fire. My wife ordered the filet mignon and it was so tender, it melted in your mouth. The best part? We both had leftovers for later! Also, the service was prompt and friendly, the atmosphere cozy. A great date night spot. If you're craving a steak, go to Caminito! You won't be disappointed.

We've dined at Caminito several times. Indoor seating is tight so this time all we could get was an outside “igloo,” essentially a zip-up plastic covered enclosure with a small electric heater. This worked ok - once we got over the smell of the plastic-but wasn't ideal as the person closest to the zip up door, which happened to be me, had to pass plates and drinks to the other diners as well as buss plates, glasses and silverware at the end of the meal- all this for $5 extra per person, or $15 for our table. I didn't appreciate paying extra for a compromised dining experience. We all had ribeye steaks- I would have had filet but they were out of it, along with our first choice of wine. My steak was tasty and well prepared, with a delicious sauce, but my companions didn't fare as well - their cuts had too much fat and gristle. For $40 a plate, they should have been better. Service was ok - waiter was friendly but we waited a long time to be served, restaurant was fairly busy. We'll eat at Caminitos again because it is the best steakhouse in Northampton- but it needs to up its game on service if it wants to charge premium prices. And please, no more upcharge for the plastic pod experience.

No fault to our waiter, who was very nice and knowledgeable, but it took a really long time to receive everything from our drinks to our salads, to our main courses and to our dessert. Must have been understaffed. Seated at 6 and did not leave until a little before 9. Dessert, while delicious, was tiny. Found the Caesar dressing not typical in that it was thin and oily. Main courses were quite good though. Rib Eye, 2 Filets, and one Steak on skewers. I have recommended Caminito to others in the past but based on our experience on Saturday night I am hesitant to do so again. Probably will give it another chance at some point in the future though.

Food, beverages, and service were all outstanding. Not having experience with dry aged steaks, our server was knowledgeable and explained, and made excellent recommendations for food and beer. Will definitely be returning!

Sadly this was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. I went to celebrate a special occasion and it was a disaster. Reservation was lost, staff were not kind, vegetables were cold and one steak was burned. The other steak was inedible, full of fat and chewy. It wasn't even worth making a complaint to the staff because they were not attentive. We paid $130 for two meals. I won't return and will not recommend. To note I've eaten here many years ago which is why I chose it as the place to celebrate a special occasion.

I haven't been to Caminito in years, and I understood that there had been changes including not being an Argentinian steakhouse but we were so disappointed. As many diners said, the steaks were not cooked to order, which is a huge fail at that price point. The service and ambiance were absolutely chaotic. We overheard the owner telling another guest he used to be a bar manager in Manhattan. Managing a bar does not mean you have what it takes to own a restaurant, he should have stayed in New York. Save your money, you're better off going to a chain steakhouse.
Had a wonderful experience for dinner. Drinks were great. Apps were delicious. Steaks were amazing. Everything was as expected. Waiter knew the menu and helped us with the wine list. Bourbon selections were very good. Will go back again.

Has changed ownership a number of times and this latest iteration is very shaky. On my first visit, my medium steak was burnt to a crisp. On my second visit my medium steak was essentially raw. Multiple people ordered the salmon which was burnt black on the outside. Several people tried the artichoke appetizer and found it barely edible. Everyone who had skewers had vegetables that were burnt black and not edible. Some of the things that were overcooked came out cold meaning they were overcooked and then just sat. Despite the restaurant being mostly empty, our waiter rushed us so much, collecting other people's dishes and offering desert and the check, that two people abandoned even trying to finish their meals.

Food is prepared well, flavors are great and balanced, menu options are broad and interesting, but I often find myself saying 'It was good, but it would have been outstanding if only...'
