After two years of anticipation, Carmine’s has finally reopened in the Gold Coast, and the transformation is stunning. Locals will notice the dramatic new look—think plush leather, moody wood, and a sweeping staircase leading to a dining room with killer Rush Street views. The menu is a mix of old favorites (yes, the meatball salad is back) and bold new steakhouse classics, all with generous portions. Prices range from approachable to splurge-worthy, and there are options for every diet. Who’s excited to gather around the table again at this Chicago staple? Share your favorite Carmine’s memory or dish! #Food #GoldCoastEats #ChicagoDining
