Carne Mare - Tuna tartare - Steakhouses Near Me - New York, New York

After many, many times of passing by Carne Mare at the Seaport, we finally came here with family for my partners birthday. It's on the pricier side and is definitely an upscale spot, yet feels like a modern take of old school Italian vibes inside; chic and well designed. As someone who doesn't go to traditional Italian spots often, the food was unexpectedly very good. Really delicious steak, amazing tableside farmer's salad (though I could do without the table side making of the salad itself... Just feels a little gimmicky and awkward lol), and awesome pastas. Another unexpected choice I wouldn't normally go for was the twice baked potato. Perfect amount of black truffle so that it wasn't overpowering, and perfectly creamy potato. Service was very attentive. Lots of waiters and servers constantly filling water, checking in, etc. I would come back for the food in a heartbeat, or even for cocktails and oysters at the downstairs bar which seems like a great vibe. This is a great addition to the Seaport and I get the hype now, and why it's always so crowded when there's outdoor seating during the summer! read more

Carne Mare is a fantastic spot and I would definitely be back albeit I don't frequent downtown Manhattan that often. Everything that my friends and I ordered was fantastic (with the sole exception of the brussel sprouts which was too sweet for our liking). The drinks also could've been better but again, the pros outweigh the cons here. One of my girlfriends and I ordered the "Carne Mare King Cut" to share which is honestly a steal at $72. Cooked to a perfect medium, make sure to get it with sides such as the mushroom marsala (the standout) and potatoes rustica. Their complimentary bread is also very good- definitely use the sauce the steak comes in as a dipping sauce. To end the meal, the chocolate cake was necessary despite very generous portions of everything. It was very moist and shareable among us 3. The server was very attentive and kind as well. All in all, Carne Mare is 100% worthy of a try in my book. read more

Wow! Where do I begin with this restaurant? We made reservations in advance for a birthday dinner for 4 people. From the moment we walked in, the place is beautifully decorated for the holidays. The hostesses took all our coats. We were seating in a nice booth in the corner on the first floor. Our server was very animated but knowledgeable of all the items on the menu. He was a top-class server. I wish I remembered his name, but he made the night very enjoyable. We all had their filet mignons and it was cooked perfectly. Super tender, like cutting butter almost. VERY delicious. We opted for the truffle twice baked potato, and it was out of the world delicious. I've never had one of these before and this took potatoes to a whole new level. Our server recommended us taking the truffle sauce and putting it on our steaks - great idea! It came with some broccolini too which was also very tasty. They brought out some ice cream desserts for the birthday girl at the end which was a nice touch. Everything about our dinner at Carne Mare was enjoyable from the food to the service. Prices were high, but worth it. Would definitely be back if in the area! read more

This steakhouse is great! The environment of the inside and it's tucked away in seaport which gives the nice exterior view as well. From the service to the food, was all efficient and on point. The appetizers can be a little pricey for its size however you should not skip out on the free garlic bread as that might be one of the best kept secrets. For main entrees the veal chop is a little thicker, could be more pounded however it's very good. For steaks the blue cheese crusted one is great and it's key to get the sides to combine the flavors with the entrees. The dessert is very good as well and light. Definitely would come back next time I'm in the area and craving steak and want to be filled with a great meal. read more

Literally the best restaurant in the world, not exaggerating! I frequent the Nashville location and have been looking forward to visiting the New York location and it exceeded my expectations! Not only was the food 10/10 per usual, the location outside and the decor inside was superior! I sat at the bar for this visit and Alberto and Kevin took care of me and added the cherry on top! Incredible food, incredible service, gorgeous views!! I'll be back Ps. My regular order is the ribeye, rustic potatoes and the mushrooms (add them on the steak) read more

I was once among Carne Mare's most devoted "special occasion" regulars, dining there 7-8 times since its opening, celebrating birthdays, special occasions, holidays and even excusing its occasional flaws because the experience, at its best, felt worth it. There was a time when this restaurant truly shined: the staff personalized menus for our dinner party celebrations, the Gorgonzola steak was a masterpiece of flavor, and the upstairs ambiance made every visit feel exclusive. During the holidays and a friend's birthday was our last favorable, spending 5 grand for the 8 of us while spendy but still it was worth it, the effort of the staff, the quality of the food. Even when mistakes happened like being seated downstairs despite reservation requests for the upstairs dining room the managers cared enough to fix it, earning both my gratitude and a generous tip. In retrospect the manager would also reciprocate with a nice desert spread for our party etc. But now? The Care Mare I once cherished has fallen so far from its former glory that it's barely recognizable. What remains carries the same name but none of the care that once defined it, plagued by false exclusivity, declining quality, and service so indifferent it borders on insulting. Despite repeated requests for upstairs seating each time met with the same vague excuse that "it's not guaranteed" I've arrived to find half the section empty all evening. This isn't policy; it's either incompetence or a deliberate bait-and-switch. The food, once a highlight, has suffered just as much. The Gorgonzola steak, once rich and bold, now tastes like a bland afterthought, and the lobster spaghetti once a generous, luxurious portion has shrunk to a laughable size. At these prices, such inconsistency isn't just disappointing; it's unforgivable. The service, however, is where the decline is most glaring. During a recent dinner for four, we watched other tables receive bread while ours never arrived, despite multiple requests. Our server made exactly three appearances in three hours: first to mumble an apology for the slow service, then to take our orders with empty promises of a "perfectly curated meal," and finally to announce his shift was over before vanishing. The final insult came with dessert a sad, carelessly plated hockey puck of ice cream, a far cry from the thoughtful, beautifully presented plate I'd received in the past (and yes, I have the photos to prove it). For a restaurant charging premium prices, this isn't just laziness it's a blatant disregard for the guest experience. Care Mare has lost its soul. The warmth, attention, and consistency that once defined it have been replaced with apathy, corner-cutting, and a cynical reliance on past reputation. What's left isn't just disappointing it's an overpriced facade of what used to be. To watch this restaurant fall so far from grace in such a short time is disheartening. My advice? Spend your money elsewhere. This ship hasn't just sailed- it's sunk. read more

Gorgeous Space, Amazing Food! I live nearby and had always walked past it, but only got to try it last week and I loved everything about this place. The actual space is beautiful feeling very elegant yet cozy. The staff was amazing throughout the night from our greeting at the door to our waiters they where very friendly and attentive, constantly checking in and open to making food suggestions that where on point. The food was a hit even from the start, the garlic bread is to die for! I also tried the spanish octopus, Wagyu 'Bavetta' Filet and the scallops and everything was incredible. I can't wait to try their brunch! read more

I came here for dessert and drinks with my girlfriend on a Thursday night. We had 9:30pm reservations and even at that hour the place was busy. The restaurant was very nice and service was excellent. We came here specifically for the 17 layer chocolate cake ($18). It was delicious and not too sweet which was a nice surprise. I ordered the Sazerac which was good but I don't think it was worth $27. My girlfriend got a glass of wine for $25. For two people getting dessert and 1 drink each, the night cost $90! (Including tax and tip) For a special occasion this place was nice and everyone there was kind and accommodating. The bathrooms also have hand motion sensors that open the door for you both on the inside and outside so you don't have to touch the handle which I thought was a nice. If you get seated on the second floor you will have a great view of the water. read more

Carne Mare - 17-Layer Chocolate Cake - Steakhouses Near Me - New York, New York

Worst service I've ever experienced at a restaurant. They took our entire order upfront but somehow the main course took over an hour to come out. Our waiter only checked in with us once to offer us the opportunity to order more drinks with no acknowledgment of the delay in food. We had to speak with a manager who ultimately provided us partial compensation on our bill. One individual was missing a plate, one was missing water and had to ask multiple people 5 times, and a third individual was missing utensils. After compensating us for the appetizers, they accidentally charged us for double the number of cappuccinos we ordered. When we pointed it out they compensated us for that. While the compensations were a nice gesture, I am surprised by the rough service. Food: not out of this world, but we really enjoyed the complimentary monkey bread (you have to ask for it) and the polenta. read more

Service was superb as I feel the staff is very attentive and goes above and beyond to make you feel taken care of. Brunch menu is good with the standouts being the Soft Scramble Crostino and the French Toast. read more

I'm a big AC fan and was excited to finally try Carne Mare (there's also one in Nashville which I will also have to check out ). I easily made a reservation on a weekend before a show at Pier 17 and tried: + Complimentary pull apart garlic bread + Granita cocktail + Alfonso cocktail + 14 oz prime boneless NY striploin + Sicilian Caesar + Potatoes rustica + Peach crostata The cocktails were great, and honestly everything we ate was amazing save for the Caesar (would skip that next time). They also have a full dining room upstairs, similar to the layout of Bar Primi. Can't wait to return!! read more

I went here for a birthday brunch - unfortunately the upstairs area was closed on Sunday but the outside seating area and main floor were open with plenty of seats. The service was quick and our waiter was very professional and even noticed we were here for a birthday celebration on the reservation I had put a note in. The food was good, we did the restaurant week brunch.

Carne Mare is a pretty good steakhouse where the atmosphere is cozy and classy, the servers are warm and hospitable and the food... pretty delicious. Bread is amazing. I'll just leave it at that. The octopus app was interesting. Sliced very thin. The oysters were delicious. The Caesar salad was what you'd expect. The aged steaks were good but wasn't the best when compared to other powerhouses. This included both the tomahawk and the porthouse. The sides were great. Potatoes, corn and mushrooms. The dessert consisted of 16 layer chocolate cake and the spumoni. The latter wasn't very good at all. read more

Came here while in town for my birthday. My friend told them that it was my birthday and they had my name printed on our menus! The Prosecco was flowing. The server that has been there the longest is the absolute best and most knowledgeable. He made the experience extra perfect. The food was amazing as well. The shrimp cocktail, the lobster pasta, caviar, lamb chops. Everything I tried was so flavorful. I will definitely go back when in town.

Food - carne = meat. This place serves up good temperatured steaks just as you would want it. I ordered the boneless ribeye and it was done proper and not dry at all and was so delish! We also ordered the tuna tartare and some sides like polenta, sweet corn and mushrooms. Service - attentive, concerned, and overall great service experience that I would not hesitate to come back here again and again! Ambiance - very nice and well kept. Twas classy and just well appointed. Verdict - it was a great experience with the management and staff as very accommodating and always checking to make sure we were all ok. There wasn't a time we felt neglected. And to put on top of this, the location and the food was great. No complaints at all! If i had to be nitpicking, it would be the price, but we came here knowing that so doesn't count! read more

Caviar Mozzarella Sticks... Need I say more? Okay, how about Caviar Mozzarella Sticks al fresco with views of lower Manhattan and Brooklyn? Carne Mare in Pier 17 is an Italian steakhouse offering up decadent apps with ridiculously beautiful views. I took a co-worker visiting from Chicago here for dinner and we were both very impressed First thing on the menu that caught our eye was the caviar mozzarella sticks so we put in an order. As you can see in the pics, they are exactly as described and pretty tasty. The caviar adds a boost of saltiness that seems to work. We also enjoyed their crab lettuce wrap and steaks for dinner. As for atmosphere, we dined outside where views South Seaport and Brooklyn are epic. Took a walk inside and the interior is gorgeous, so looking forward to returning in the fall. read more

stopped by to have lunch on my break and try the restaurant week menu. i ordered the house wedgini salad- mediocre, definitely nothing wedge style & the "famous prime rib sandwich." besides waiting almost 35 minutes for the sandwich, it was so extremely bland that it wasn't worth even finishing half. the prime rib tasted like it was reheated from old leftovers and dry. there's no sauce or flavor and the garnish on the plate left even more to be desired. a salad after the salad? fries might have made this slightly redeemable considering i spent/WASTED 60$ on lunch to leave super disappointed and hungry because i didn't even want to eat it. 10/10 would rather a bodega chopped cheese for 8$ over anything here. the server also never came back to ask if it was even ok. read more

Great place to enjoy a nice meal. I ordered the prix fixe brunch and selected the octopus, french toast, and panna cotta. The octopus was lemony, buttery, and oh so tender. I shared it with the entire table to rave reviews. My french toast was beautiful and the bread was thick, moist, and light. The chantilly cream on top went perfectly with the citrus fruits as well. My panna cotta was creamy and loaded with fruit. I left too full to function . read more

Excellent service and great ambiance. Loved the grilled oysters. The raw oysters were good and fresh. I'm not sure how they prepared their meat, im assuming reverse sear on some, maybe Sous vide, but the lamp chop was delicious! Rib eye was well cooked. I'm just disappointed in the prime rib, I was not a fan of the sauce that it came with. It was a little sweet, I'm guess a balsamic reduction with the jus? But overall definitely a good spot to go. read more

This is an excellent spot to dine, while enjoying the sunshine and ocean breeze of Pier 17. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, wait times are manageable, very important because all other nearby restaurants including the ones in Fulton market run on an hour+ of wait time. I really liked the burger, very well cooked. All the ingredients works well with the paddy. The salad in the plate was also. The egg Benedict was also a nice dish. The restaurant was very generous to bring us extra few slices of toasted bread. I was little disappointed with the kids pasta dish with butter. It had no taste of butter, really blend. The non alcohol drinks were also below per. The lime drink was just sour. Overall it's a very good place to try. read more

Man the seaport is different nowadays. I remember it being a rundown little strip, however now it's more upscale and catering better to tourists. Was skeptical regardless when a business partner wanted to meet up here, however they've really done a beautiful job renovating. Carne e Mare is halfway down the pier and is a mix of outside dining downstairs with a proper dining room upstairs. The menu and space fit the bill of an upscale restaurant, however the service was just ok. They were very frantic in seating us initially, even forgetting menus, which was weird as the restaurant was mostly empty. Whatever, new places sometimes. I got a herbal whiskey cocktail that I was skeptical of but which turned out to be both good and interesting. For appetizers we got the calamari, burrata with pesto, and oysters. I love it when something extra is fried up with the calamari, in this case peppers. Otherwise this was well done calamari, tentacles and all. The burrata was typical however the pesto addition was very nice. Had to ask what oysters we got as the servers initially weren't sure (obviously east coast), however they were great regardless. I got the Rigatoni with dry aged bolognese. It drives me crazy when places waste good cuts of beef on bolognese, where they're just ground up and they lose the integrity of the meat. That said, if it inspires the kitchen to pay attention and make a proper bolognese like they do here, then it's worth it. The sauce was rich, flavorful and packed with meat. Pasta was good quality. Not sure why they felt the need to add Parmesan foam versus just regular ass cheese, however this was a minor complaint. Glad to have this place in walking distance of the office. Will be back! read more

One of the best steakhouse experiences we've had in NYC Ambiance: -great lighting, nice space, very welcoming environment -you'll get better quality food than your standard steakhouse, but wont feel like you're in a stuffy white table cloth restaurant Service: -they couldn't have been nicer. Our server, Iona, did a fantastic job. Their suggestions on portion sizes were spot on, as were details on exactly what to order Food: -we got the rigatoni, a filet, this waygu steak, and two sides. That + bread more than covered it. We loved everything -cocktails very solid -get the chocolate cake 5/5. If you like steakhouses, this is a must try. read more

Went for dessert and drinks for our anniversary! We sat on the second floor by the windows, as requested (I'm very grateful they were able to honor my request)! I loved the Syrah I got and my boyfriend loved his cocktail. We got their famous 17 layer chocolate cake which was delicious! Not too dense or sweet! The service was amazing and I was thankful they let us sit a while to enjoy the ambience. It was a pretty pricey night, 2 cocktails and dessert with tip was $90. I would go back if I was celebrating another special occasion. You're paying for the service and ambience for sure! read more

I was skeptical of this place given that it is a chain and located in a very touristy spot but I was blown away with how amazing the ambiance, service and food were. It had major classic Manhattan vibes. Our waiter Jed was soooo nice. Literally hyped us up for everything we ordered and honestly helped us gauge how much food was good for us and he was spot on. Loved him so much. All the food was fantastic. The oysters were super fresh and not fishy at all. The bread was AMAZING, so soft, warm, and flavorful. The steak tartare was fresh and light. The mozzarella sticks with caviar we're definitely an experience but I probably would not get them again because the mozzarella stick itself was a little greasy and overwhelming; it took away from the caviar. The wagyu Bavette was cooked to perfection and was extremely tender. It came with 2 sauces and I personally preferred their version of a bordelaise. We also got the creamed corn which perfectly complimented the savory steak. I would definitely recommend for a special occasion!! read more

The food alone deserves 5 stars! We were blown away by everything we had. The complimentary pull-apart garlic bread was worth every calorie. Do not skip. I repeat. Do not skip!!! We shared the Spicy Lobster Spaghetti and Prime Boneless Ribeye. I appreciated the large chucks of tender lobster and how saucy the spaghetti was. Ribeye was on par with expectations. The sides were especially impressive. The Potatoes Rustica was perfectly crispy, and the Mushroom Marsala was very juicy. Both were seasoned just right. Also very generous servings! We were sad that we didn't have room to try their famous 17-layer chocolate cake. Must return... Service was very attentive. Decor is on the more old-school/austere side, but overall still a rather relaxed vibe. read more
