Initially our server (Don) was very helpful and informative . After being served our appetizer and entree by other servers, Don seemed to disappear. After finishing our meal, he was nowhere in sight to see if everything was ok. He never asked us if we wanted coffee or dessert. We finally flagged him down and asked for the check.

Been to Carmines many times over the years. Excellent food and the wait staff are attentive and engaged to make the experience very positive. Family style makes it a great choice for celebrations and group functions. I find the portions getting smaller compared to previous visits over time. Still has the wow factor but noticeably reduced for the family style prices.

We go to an Atlantic city quite often and always went to stop at Carmine's but they give you so much food! But this time we packed up the leftovers and are going to have an awesome Sunday evening dinner!!
