I want to gate keep this place, but I won't... it's amazing all around. Been here several times already and we love it. The food, the service, the decor... all 10/10. Come for dinner for your first visit so you can try the bread, then get the mozzarella sticks with caviar, after that, doesn't matter cause you'll be swooning over everything. One of our favorite spots in the city, period.

How good is Carne Mare? Well, in the food capital of the world we went twice in a row. There is a lot of care taken in the preparation of the food and the service. Rosalina, Mary, Antonio, and Lauda (sp) thank you very much for such a memorable and enjoyable time. I really can't say anything negative about the food. Apps. Mains. Entrees. Salads (that Caesar with the egg mimosa, what?!) all delicious. Going to highlight our favorite dishes. The salt baked sea bass, the presentation was a surprise so I won't spoil that. What a delicate and delicious piece of fish. If you're tired of the tried and true "Miso sea bass" and then the salt bake is the move. For the corn lovers, just stop at the Agnolotti and Summer Corn. Be warned, it's a bit sweet, like a good southern cream corn, but it's a total celebration of an underappreciated vegetable. For the steak options, you can't go wrong with the Bevetta or the Ribeye. Beautiful crust and sear that carries throughout the protein. Oh and I'd get stabbed by my wife and I don't mention the Alaskan Red crab sauce, if you're a Futurama fam I'm pretty sure Bender dropped a little of that special essence in there like BAM. The Rigatoni was also excellent. I didn't have this personally so no extra detaila but it was ordered by our group twice in a row. TLDR: can't go wrong with Carne Mare when it comes to excellent food and service.

Awesome experience! Staff was terrific and food was 10 out of 10. Would definitely recommend. I had the ribeye and the twice baked potato and they were excellent! Our server was Shania and she did a wonderful job and was very friendly and attentive!!

This spot is the lady in red. There’s velvet, leather, mirrors, and beautiful chandeliers. Rarely do I meet someone who’s a bigger jokester than me, but our waiter was witty and quick. I loved him! He made this such a fun dinner. This spot is not safe, I turned it into a tapas restaurant too. We got the spicy crab, lettuce cups, the mozzarella sticks with caviar, shishito peppers, and then I got the sweet corn pasta, and I added a lobster tail. We do big things around here.

I had a really nice time here. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly this time around. The hostess was so sweet and we got seated upstairs which had beautiful views of the seaport and the boats. The decor is elevated and nostalgic. The food was incredible. I loved the polenta and the ceasar salad. I also tried the mozzarella and caviar sticks which were superb. The 17 layer chocolate cake was amazing. Victor the manager made everything so nice and our waiter Gustavo was AMAZING!!! the host was so nice and friendly and Gina the manager also made sure to make my visit very nice..

Had a reservation at Carne Mare with three of my old colleagues I hadn’t seen in years, and it turned out to be one of the best dining experiences we’ve had! From start to finish, everything was exceptional—the service, the ambiance, and most importantly, the food. We started with fresh oysters, and the staff took the time to explain the different types, where they came from, and their unique flavors. It was a great touch, especially in an Italian-inspired steakhouse. The cheese sticks with caviar were an absolute hit, even with a friend who usually avoids raw food—this appetizer changed their mind! For the primo, I chose the Woodland Mushroom Agnolotti, which was beautifully rich and earthy, with the black truffle adding a deep, luxurious touch to the dish. For the secondi, the Salt-Baked Sea Bass with woodland mushrooms was incredible—the delicate fish was perfectly cooked, infused with herby, citrusy notes that elevated its natural flavor. To end the night, we shared the Apple Crostata, the 17-layer Chocolate Cake, and the Baked Spumoni. The Spumoni was a showstopper—flaming at the table with that perfect balance of caramelized sweetness and frozen gelato inside. Beyond the amazing food, what really made this a 5-star experience was the hospitality. The servers were warm, attentive, and detail-oriented, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Carne Mare exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely be back for both the outstanding food and the top-notch service!

My husband and I celebrated our first anniversary at Carne Mare, and it was such a great experience. The vibe of the restaurant is classy and welcoming, and the view made it feel even more special. The area around the restaurant is also really nice to walk around before dinner, which added to the night. We ordered the steak, and it was absolutely delicious—so tender and flavorful. The duck was amazing too, and the portion was huge! Both dishes really hit the mark, and we were so happy with everything we tried. The only thing we were a little disappointed about was that the roast beef was already sold out. Our dinner was pretty early, around 5:30pm. so it was surprising that it was out of stock that early in the evening. We’ll definitely want to go back to try it next time! The servers were super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, we had an awesome dinner and felt like we picked the perfect place to celebrate. Carne Mare is definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a special night out.

What a gorgeous restaurant. We were in awe of everything we ordered. Unfortunately, the server damaged the whole experience with incredibly disengaged, impersonal service. I attempted to ask a question twice, and both times he walked away, leaving me hanging in the middle of a sentence. We will come back for the unmatched food and ambience with the hope we get a better server next time.

Carne Mare nails the atmosphere immediately. The space leans into a rich, old-school chophouse aesthetic, and the service is polished, confident, and exactly what you want in a New York steakhouse. We stopped in just for appetizers and worked our way through the chophouse snacks. The oysters were exceptionally fresh, clean, and easily the highlight of the table. The house bread was a genuine surprise and far better than expected. The remaining snacks, crab, burrata, and mozzarella with caviar, felt like they were loaded with promise but landed just fine rather than memorable. That said, this is a chophouse, and appetizers aren’t the reason you come here. Based on the room, the service, and the foundation they’ve built, I’m absolutely coming back to give the steaks their proper moment. I’m hopeful the main event delivers at the level the setting suggests.

Beautiful interior that really does exude the chophouse ambiance. Service is very friendly and lots of smiles. Food unfortunately didn’t feel as top game as the price conveyed. Mozzarella stick with caviar felt underwhelming and the prime rib sandwich had too much bread. May come back for the steaks.

Julia

The steak was absolute perfection—cooked exactly right and full of flavor. The bread was out of this world, and the summer corn was a surprising standout. We sat on the patio, which had a sunset view over the water that made the evening feel extra special. Service was attentive and truly above and beyond, making it the perfect spot to celebrate a birthday. Nearly flawless all around. I’ll definitely be back!

Amber Wilcox

Beautiful atmosphere for an evening dinner over the water. The food was good—not the best I’ve ever had but very tasty. The service was exceptional, shoutout to the waitress that consistently kept my water topped off anytime I’d blink. Prices were high but definitely a good dinner all around.

I hosted a client dinner for 8 people here and was genuinely disappointed. There were a variety of issues throughout our meal. First to comment on the service, it wasn't terribly clear who our server was. We were helped by a variety of individuals throughout the meal, but most of the time, we were stopping people as they walked by to get things that we needed. A few other specific examples of service lapses included that on the first round of drinks, the cocktails and wine were brought out, but a beer was forgotten, which we had to track a server down to remind them of. After the food was served, no one asked how it was, and we were generally ignored for the rest of the meal, never offered dessert menus, etc. It got to the point where 5 of the guests had left over the course of about 15 minutes, until we even were able to get someone to bring us the check. The only real service was the water, which their team did keep refilling. Moving on to the food, the appetizers and salads were all very good. The side dishes were also quite top notch, would highly recommend the spinach and the brussel sprouts. The steaks however did not meet the mark for a steakhouse of this caliber. Multiple guests commented on the quality of the steak, in particular that even though seemingly cooked properly, still ended up very dense and chewy. All steaks were ordered medium or less and no less than 3 guests commented on the lack of quality and across different steaks too (Wagyu Bavetta with particularly low marks). All in all, the ambiance of the place is amazing, but the service and food were a let down in our experience.
