Carmine's

LOVE Carmines!
This place has great food and friendly staff.
Plus they serve 24 hours a day! Love It!

I was happy to hear to see that this bar/Italian restaurant had re-opened recently. So I decided to check it out.

The service was excellent. The food prices were average. The portions were decent sized but the food was good. I ordered the lasagna and it meaty and just enough cheese and sauce, It wasn't busy in there, and the waitress was chatty and it didn't mind at all.

Afterwards I decided to go down to the bar and have a couple of drinks and watch a baseball game. the bartender was friendly and we were talking about different teams. Overall I would go back there again!

So last night I was in the area and when this place first opened my family and I loved it. I would soon learn regret eating here again. I called and asked if the dining area was open to.children and the bartender let me know the dining area had been closed in general.but she would still let us eat there. Because of her sweet offer I was stoked. Had I had known the dining area was closed everyday because of lack of business I would NOT have eaten there. We had 2 orders of Ravioli, the fried mozzerella, the cesar salad and bread with alfredo sauce for dipping as well as marinara. The Alfredo sauce, which I used to love was a lifeless salty cream of a sauce not tasting anything like alfredo. The marinara sauce was gross too. The tomatoes tasted off beat and kind of old. The ravioli was cold in the middle leaving the cheese to be gross inside. The cesar salad was DISGUSTING. They over dressed the salad and the dressing itself was bitter and bad. The lettuce also tasted dirty. Over all it was a nighmare. We blew $50 on feeling sick and getting grossed out. From our dirty dusty table to the ghost town inside we should have known better. There was a time I used to Crave their Chicken Alfredo. Not any more. I learned the old head chef was no longer there and I think when he left he took the love in the food with him. The bartender was super sweet but as I sent back my salad in a rejection of unhappiness her probing questions told me she was upset I was not willing to pay for something I would not eat. We should have walked out and left but I suffer consequences of my poor decision making.  This is another Restaraunt Impossible waiting to happen. Heck Mr. Irving would clean up on shows from Local Vegas joints. Do not eat at Carmines's even my fried Mozzerella was.over cooked. No love in the food whatsoever
