Carmine’s

Tasty!

This place was terrible. Firstly, they are riding the coattails of neighboring Carnival Pizzeria/​Restaurant. They copied their logo and store front which look identical. I was pretty upset to see that they seem to be trying to deceive people into thinking it’s part of Carnival, but decided to give it a try. I ordered the chicken walnut raspberry salad ad asked it to be tossed and have the vinagerette left on the side. The girl who made the salad did bring it to my seat, rather than make me get up, which was nice, but did not bring me any napkins. The salad size was generous, so I was pretty happy this far, until I realized she did not toss it as I had requested. I asked if she had a bowl to toss it in for me, and she gave me a puzzled look and responded that she did not. She offered my a plastic to-​go container, but I said I’d figure it out. I mixed up my salad, and began to partake in what looked pretty delicious. WRONG! I could taste the chemicals on the greens (spinach), as if they did not even rinse it off. As I chewed it, I felt little crunches, which seemed like some sand/​residue that’s usually left on greens that aren’t rinsed. Either way, the taste of the unwashed greens overpowered the raspberry vinagerette, which was a little thick and jelly like. I tried some of the chicken next, and it was dry. It looked like store bought pre-​cooked grilled chicken that they had just microwaved to give that freshly grilled warmth. After a few bites, I couldn’t continue. The server didn’t ask me how the food was or anything. I would NOT ever eat here again. This used to be Quiznos subs, which went under. They kept most of the same furniture, counters, and equipment. Don’t wast your time or money, just walk next door, and go to Carnival!
