Customers appreciate the second-floor alcoves and friendly service from the waitstaff. The ambiance is upscale, creating a perfect setting for both breakfast and dinner. When seeking a luxurious breakfast, guests enjoy the best fresh squeezed orange juice and decadent Brioche French toast layered with hazelnut frangipane. Breakfast tends to be quieter, often visited by hotel guests and pairs of friends. Dinner is undeniably sophisticated, with an intimate and romantic ambiance. The service remains attentive, and many dishes are presented meticulously and sometimes theatrically, such as the sticky toffee pudding set on fire upon serving. Favorite dishes include Sweet Crab & Pepper Mille-Feuille, Duck-Duck-Duck Tortellini, Caramelle Piedmontese, Rabbit Cacciatore, Veal Medallions alla Osso Buco, and the dessert. The space feels like a blend of old New York and Paris, with high ceilings, plush velvet booths, and faux trees inside, along with an open kitchen concept that adds to the memorable experience. The polished, attentive service is highly praised, with staff well-versed in the menu’s nuances and offering excellent recommendations. Dishes like the zucchini flowers lobster and artichoke Provençal are light and layered, while the squab en cocotte impresses with perfect cooking and rich flavor, showcasing the skill behind the scenes. The oysters are served with small pearl onions in the half shell, and the sticky toffee pudding offers deep rum flavor with moist cake and vanilla ice cream. The restaurant’s craftsmanship and confidence shine through every bite, making it a standout dining experience. Overall, Café Carmellini provides a spectacular and atmospheric environment, authentic service, excellent oysters, and memorable craft cocktails.
