    I think it's a hedgehog apparently there's a big debate on what this platter actually is
    Leah a.

    We had a reservation at another restaurant and upon walking in it was so loud it it made us turn around and walk right out. It was not gonna be tolerable so we happened upon this restaurant which we heard such great things about. It was certainly beautiful. There was a few people waiting in the host area so we didn't know if there would be space for us, but Robert immediately greeted us with such warmth and professionalism, and made it happen miraculously a table for two would be ready in just a moment. We were so happy such a beautiful dining room and so well received. Thank you Robert for getting us seated so quickly. The service was phenomenal. The food even better. The chicken shared is decadent. We had the blossoms and the artichokes and the flavor was spectacular. Everything from the bread presentation to the dessert, was flawless. We'll be back.

    Came here for brunch with a group of friends. I have probably passed by this restaurant many times and just never noticed it. When you walk inside it is absolutely gorgeous with the cool chandelier lighting fixtures and the bar area. This is a 2 level restaurant. We sat in the downstairs area. If I ever come here again I would like to see how it is sitting upstairs as I am reading reviews that seems to be the way to go. There was a live jazz performer singing while we were eating. She was very good but it was a bit loud. For what I ate here for brunch. So the brunch menu is a prix fixed menu, Two Course Menu which is $75pp. It comes with a nice plate of fruit and some bread for the table. Having alot of food allergies like myself it was a bit hard to find something I could eat. I did end up getting some avocado and eggs with roasted peppers without the pastry part at the bottom. Yes it was good but for the price I paid maybe not worth it really. I asked if they had a side of bacon but they don't do sides of bacon for brunch (which is a bit odd if you ask me). The service was a bit slow especially with getting our drinks. I had a mimosa which was fine. Would I come back here for brunch probably not, it was nice to try it out though. Would I come here for dinner.... Maybe?

    Champagne  anyone?

    Happy to get an RSVP at this lovely establishment! Dropped off in the front that I assumed was closed, so I walked around the building into the hotel portion? Directed to this side of the restaurant, only to be back where I started lol. Greeted by Tim with smiles, sophistication, and elegance. I knew at that moment, this brunch was going to be an amazing experience. Watched staff move chairs and dishes like a symphony. Everyone seemed to be on the same page with little words. Our waiters @ waitresses took their time to explain the options at this venue. Settle on the caviar tower and OMG.... Probably one of the best appetizers I've had in a long time. Nice champagne tasting before ordering our main choices. Live music radiates across the room from The upper deck. Perfect sound levels as it allows everyone to enjoy their private conversations. Great choices of music from the singer and the guitarist. Appreciate the impromptu transition to the Happy Birthday song :). Just impeccable service and ambiance here. Please support this establishment. Your taste buds and other senses as well as yur party will thank you later.

    All around fantastic evening at Cafe Carmellini. The ambiance is classy, dark and sexy, high ceilings, with plenty of space between tables. The service was also impeccable, one of the best of any fine dining restaurant I've been to. Attentive but not overbearing, and just very personable and knowledgeable. We stopped in before heading to a broadway show and they were able to accommodate the timing without feeling rushed. To top it all off, the food was sooo good, with some unique versions of French dishes, beautifully plated with just enough flair. We ordered the Crab & Meyer Lemon Mille-Feuille, Seafood Squid Ink Risotto special, Black Bass, Squab en croute, and Apple Caramel Soufflé. Even the complimentary bread, including the housemaid focaccia was insane, I asked for another basket. The Crab was delicate, but a bit difficult to eat as constructed. The seafood risotto is a must get if it's on the menu, scallops, uni, prawns, octopus wowwww, perfectly cooked fresh seafood, beautiful sauce, and creamy rice. The Squab en croute is also a wonderful dish, squab cooked perfectly and the foie gras, berry sauce, and puff pastry were a a perfect complement. Black bass was nice, but not a must. The desserts are also very good, our waitress even threw in a complimentary Sorbet which was a nice palate cleanser. I also like that they still provide petite fours, a lot of establishments have been moving away from it. Overall Bread Basket 5/5 Crab & Meyer Lemon Mille-Feuille 4/5 Seafood Squid Ink Risotto 5/5 Black Sea Bass, Salsa Barolo 4/5 Squab en Croute 5/5 Apple Soufflé 4/5 Sorbet 5/5

    I've been here so many times but never for Champagne Brunch. It was the perfect place to bring my ex pat friends I met while living in HK. They were wowed by the venue . Despite having gone here in the past , everytime I walk in , I'm mesmerize by the decor , ambiance , etc . The prix fix was worth every penny . I couldn't decide what to eat as there were so many great choices ( surprising as I'm not a big brunch person and can't justify paying $$$ for bfast times ). This time it's different as the dishes are elevated . I had the egg salad caviar katsu , while two of my friends got the salmon Benedict's ( they cure their own salmon and bake the biscuit in house ). The pastries were delectable, fruits were super sweet . The service was excellent with our friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff who helped me solidify my entree choice . The cocktails were on the small side but Delicious . They had a live band which made the whole experience even better! It's a perfect place to come with family , friends whether it's for brunch , lunch or dinner ! Highly recommended

    I celebrated my birthday at Cafe Carmellini, and we just can't stop raving about it! My party of 9 opted for the champagne brunch - $65 2 course meal. The first course consist of pastries and fruit. There is a caviar supplement you can add on for an additional cost. Contrary to the name, the "champagne brunch" doesn't doesn't include the champagne, you would have to order separately. Second course you can choose between a variety of amazing dishes - every dish was so beautiful and well thought out. My favorite was the smoked egg salad & caviar katsu -- their take on an elevated japanese egg sando. The lobster frittata and steak & eggs were delicious as well. There are so many things on the menu that I would come back for! Drinks were amazing! They really go above and beyond with the taste, quality and presentation here. Service was top notch, not once did we feel rushed or unwelcomed. They even have a live band playing on the balcony! The vibes were immaculate -- definitely will be back!

    I had an excellent dinner experience at Cafe Carmellini! The space is absolutely beautiful and such a pleasant ambiance. The service was polite and attentive with staff quick to clean/clear tables and fill drinks. Each of the dishes I tried were well prepared and flavorful.

    Came here for Mother's Day dinner with a date, and from start to finish everything was exceptional, including the desserts. The elevated atmosphere, attentive service, and thoughtful presentation made the entire experience feel truly special. A memorable dining experience that I would happily return to.

    One of the most exciting new restaurants in NYC, full stop. Some of the complaints here like orange juice, checks, seats...c'mon man! Listen to me, don't listen to me, I really don't care. That said I've dined at 75% of every new, top, hot, whatever restaurants in NYC and these guys are doing a really outstanding job. Plus, for this particular dinner I was with French dinner guests who are...well...French. So they know their way around good food. The menu is not overly large and oriented toward fine dining. Think 4 options for starters, as well as 1st and 2nd courses. There are more main courses to select from. Dishes like Red Snapper Veronique, Bluefin Crudo, Squash blossoms, Halibut with Sauce Cresson, Scallops Special, etc. all stood out. Nothing was poorly executed. The space is extremely well-appointed - envision rich textures, lush materials, incredible hand-feel, plush chairs, etc. And to specifically punctuate the chair point - if you know anything about restaurants you know these are 2+ hour chairs. The bar is spectacular. The room itself has been very intentionally designed and in some ways reminds me of LexYard in the Waldorf - that recently underwent a $2B rennovation (the hotel). Cafe Carmellini looks like a high end NYC restaurant. I wouldn't say opulent because I don't think that is what they are going for, but certainly elevated bistro with the pulse of NYC. All that said, it checks all the boxes = space, food, room, service - just really top notch.

    Came here to celebrate my birthday with friends. Beautiful room, elegant vibe, and the food was solid. Oysters were fresh, scallops were nicely seared, and the squab was flavorful. Desserts were also lovely and well presented. Service during the meal was attentive. Two small bummers though. We were initially seated upstairs directly facing a chandelier in a pretty awkward spot despite open tables downstairs (they did fix it after we asked). And at the end, after telling us there was "no rush" with the check, a server came over to push for payment while I stepped away to the restroom, which felt unnecessary and not very graceful.

    Woah, blown away by how pretty this restaurant is. It's inside the famous 5th Avenue hotel (2 Michelin keys). Honestly came here just for its beauty and had zero expectations of the food, but was pleasantly surprised by how good the food is. Food style is Italian/ French/ Mediterranean, so you see items that aren't typical. They are popular for the squab and boy it did not disappoint, so tender and flavorful. Beef brasato was also chef's The only thing that was just ok was the quail , the flavor was not able to seep into the quail. Overall - very good experience! It is the restaurant of 2 Michelin key hotel after all. Service / food/ ambiance are all.

    Igor S.

    Great vibes. Beautiful restaurant. Service was pretty good too. Entrees were delicious. Appetizers were just ok. When they change the menu again I would come back but the current one is just ok. The squab was genuinely phenomenal. None of the appetizers stood out for me.

    Overall a great experience at Cafe Carmellini. We had a group dinner of 6 persons and got a nice table on the 2nd floor overlooking the entire dining room. This is a beautiful space ! With high ceilings and a lot of greenery aligned throughout the dining room. First the wine list! Wow one of the most extensive wine lists I've seen! With over 100 pages from Italian Chianti, to French Chablis and everything in between! I opted for a nice bottle of Chianti as I know our table generally likes this option. For our dinner, we ordered everything to share! We got for apps, the oysters (which we were able to add 2 more as it only came with 4), tuna crudo and the crab Millefeuille. I was not a fan of the oyster, had this ice drop on it. Not a fan. The tuna crudo was good. And the crab millefeuille, it was very similar to something I've already had from another French chef. And for our mains we got the risotto Nero with seafood, squab, sea bass. My fav was the risotto seafood and the squab had actual fresh foie gras poêlé style. And for dessert we had the soufflé and the millefeuille desert. And since we were celebrating a birthday they added a chocolate moose cake! I absolutely loved the food, decor and the service was also great. All in all it was definitely an experience not to be missed.

We started with a bottle of the Alsace wine, which perfectly complemented our food and the Parisian vibe. I opted for the omelette with Gruyère which was delicious, although I found myself very full by the end, as it came with two sides. The fries were a must-have -- so crispy, salty & fresh. I'd recommend that at least one person at the table order them, but the portion is pretty generous. :) The service was nice, albeit a bit slow at times. However, the staff was friendly and the overall atmosphere is chill -- we weren't in a rush at all! Sitting at a booth in the back, we had the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy our meal, making for a lovely brunch with friends or family.
