I was excited to visit Carnivale for the first time, but unfortunately I was disappointed by my experience. I do not recommend attending with a party of 10 or more. My friend made reservations here for a group birthday celebration. We were ONLY given the option of the $50/person tapas menu, with Carnivale's selection of items. (We could purchase items in addition to that cost, of course.) The amount of food provided for our party, even for tapas, was extremely underwhelming. The food was just okay; not worth $50 a person. They charged $40 for an $9 bottle of wine. We were expecting seating in the main dining area so that we could enjoy the entertainment; however we were seated in the back behind the curtain. We had a few customer service issues as well, including the wait time for our food. Overall, my first impression was that it was overrated, and sadly I was just as hungry when I left as I was when I arrived. I was expecting sooo much more. It certainly was not the experience I'd been hoping for.
