I instantly fell in love with the eclectic, old man charm of the place. I adore the overstuffed leather furniture, coffee tables, a leg lamp tugged in the corner, the dim lighting, books and wall decor, and the expansive list of martini options. I really wanted a pickle martini which wasn't on the menu, but the bartender happily obliged (though it wasn't quite as tasty as the one from Leadbelly). If it's beer you're after, look elsewhere. I think there was maybe a couple of options. And an even bigger perk was that they had snacks catered in from Parthenon for happy hour. Win, win, win! The crowd was a mix of youngish professionals and what appeared to be older, retired folks. I also really like the south side location, versus having to drive downtown for a chill drinking experience. I'll for sure be returning.

I brought my family of 9 adults to Carmela's for their Sunday breakfast brunch. Service was very…read moregood and most items were very good. Would just like to point out that three people ordered the biscuits and gravy item. Usually most people expect the biscuits to be split in half with gravy all over them, this was not the case. Carmelas serves the biscuits together with a sausage patty sitting on top of the biscuit and I believe an egg on top of that then a SMALL amount of gravy on top of that. Not enough gravy to even dampen the hugh biscuits. I was glad I ordered an omelet.

I've enjoyed dining at Carmela's Bistro & Wine Bar in the past. The food is delicious, thoughtfully…read moreprepared, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. However, during my most recent visit, the arrival experience was very disappointing. After entering, the host did not acknowledge me at all, and another family who arrived after me was immediately helped first. Several staff members were nearby and could have assisted or at least offered a greeting, but no one did. After waiting without acknowledgment, we ultimately decided to leave and go to another restaurant. Being ignored at the door made us feel unwelcome, and it completely changed our plans for the evening. Good service starts the moment guests walk in, and unfortunately this experience fell far below expectations.

I was in Lincoln and craving a burger. Yelp steered me towards this awesome restaurant. It's a…read morefancy place, and not cheap. But you get what you pay for! I sat at the bar and had phenomenal service. I got the Aragon burger with a tallow fries, covered in bacon jam! I will have to say, this is one of the better burgers I've ever had in my life. It came out very hot, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The sauce is super yummy. But it's a grilled onions that really make it. The fries came out hot, crispy, and very tasty. This is a phenomenal restaurant with some very good food. Unless you're lucky you get a seat at the bar, I'm sure reservations are required.

Service was very good. We were seated promptly and asked if we were ready for the next course at appropriate times. We had the 3 course dinner with the summer salad, lasagna Bianca and steak. I personally thought the salad was the best! The array of flavors was very satisfying from the crunch of the pine nuts to the smoothness of the ricotta to the tanginess of the dressing. Would highly recommend. The lasagna was good... but very one note... and that note is "richness". It didn't really taste like anything more, which in effect made it not much different from an ordinary lasagna I could make at home and not pay that much for it. The steak was not well seasoned, which I wouldn't have minded but the cook was a bit beyond the medium rare I asked for. Overall I probably would be back to try something else. But dish is still superior in terms of fine dining in Lincoln in my opinion.
