Well, my wify and I have one of our official dates here in 2019, I was traveling for work and was hanging out with my co-worker. She pick the place and just took me there.
The place is really classic, romantic, really contemporanious.
The service is impeccable , the server and manager were always there and really respectull and friendly.
The food is just a blast, my wife got the duck and I got the steak, they were both delicious, we also get the fries wirh gravy and tasty!
Important note: they dont have beer, lol, but a red wine always goes good with a steak.
Even if I’m a beer lover I do recommend visiting this place 100%

We picked up so I can’t rate some of the categories.
Nutshell summary.
We spent 42. Dollars (not counting tax) on each of 2 steaks. Bill over 100 for 2 people. We picked up our food because I can recovering from surgery and mobility is an issue.
The potatoes are in a neat little hill. The other white substance on this plate is a LOAD of fat. Slightly OVER 50% of my steak was grizzle and translucent fat. Same for my sisters steak, though perhaps fat accounted for only 1/3 of her steak.
I selected Caminito Steakhouse for the reviews, and I was willing to splurge. It took a long time just to cut away the fat. Not enough meat for a meal.
The broccoli was, however, good
I was too upset to eat the potatoes.
I don’t get it.

I have only had great food here! Chorizo in a blanket it my favorite appetizer, it’s so good that I get it every time. When I am unsure of what to get for an entree I ask Kevin who gives great explanations and suggestions. He is so nice and knowledgeable and has never steered me wrong. The steaks are always cooked exactly as ordered and the sides and sauces are delicious. I love the creamed spinach which is such a steak house staple but hard to find around here. Between the food, service and cozy atmosphere you can’t go wrong

My husband and I dined here last night and had a great experience. We have been here a couple times before and always come back for the Gorgonzola steak. This time we ordered the chorizo in a blanket and fried cauliflower for appetizer. Both came with delicious sauces. I ordered a cucumber cranberry cosmo per the waiter Kevin’s recommendation and my husband ordered his standard old fashioned. They were able to substitute the walnut bitters to accommodate his nut allergy. Both drinks delicious, we each had 2 which is not the standard for us (light drinkers). Our steaks were cooked perfectly and the sides of mashed potato confit and glazed carrots paired perfectly. Honestly the carrots were my favorite part, and this is coming from a carb and sugar enthusiast lol! We shared a tiramisu for dessert and Kevin provided us a complementary glass of vermouth to pair with dessert. Wonderful pairing and highly recommend! Kevin was conversational, educated on the menu/ingredients/preparations and he really added to our experience. The small gripes is the creepy artwork all over the place…looks like the devil in at least 2 of them. I don’t get it. And I think it’s a new(er?) owner since the last time we were here so the Gorgonzola steak was a little different (still delicious) and they got rid of the creme brulee which was the best around. We will still be back!

We had an amazing dinner last night to celebrate my girlfriends’ birthday! The food was delicious, but what really made the experience stand out was the exceptional service from our server, Ben. His attentiveness, friendliness, and care made the evening truly memorable. Highly recommend this place for a special occasion or just a great meal!

Let me start by saying food and drinks were impeccable. Sam, Jada, and Ben waited on us and chatted with us while we ate. The food was top notch, the drinks were innovative and fairly priced. The staff alone would have been reason enough to come back. Look at the pictures of the food. This restaurant will definitely be added to the rotation that me and my wife go to. If you’ve never tried it, do yourself a favor and go. it’s a bit of a smaller dining room so I’d recommend reservations.

Caminito Steakhouse provided my spouse and I with a pleasant evening of friendly, energetic service, local atmosphere, and a varied menu. Our waiter, Ben, was welcoming, attentive, and responsive throughout the entire visit. We skipped appetizers, to maintain a sharp edge on our appetites, but had Ben pour the Cabernet and Malbec early to whet that hunger. I ordered Sirloin Gorgonzola, and my spouse chose Rib Eye. As our steaks experienced Caminito flames, we relaxed, sipped our excellent vintages, and watched the room gradually fill with other patrons and grow alive with the warm hum of gregarious conversation. (The Halloween skeleton did not participate, seated alone with an empty glass and a toothy grin. LOL)
Ben arrived with our plates (both steaks wood-fire grilled to medium) and fierce steak knives. My Sirloin, anointed with Gorgonzola sauce, was accompanied by Cast Iron Carrots and Garlic Confit Mashed Potatoes. My spouse’s Rib Eye, baptised with Veal Demi Glace, was surrounded by Garlic Confit Mashed Potatoes and Broccoli florets. The visual appearance of the steaks fell short of what we had imagined as classic shapes of sirloin or rib eye. My sirloin had a gnarly, skinny look and the rib eye certainly did not shout “rib eye,” but of course we had ordered each with its clearly stated topping.
The Rib Eye was of good taste, if not setting a new record. I found my Sirloin difficult to tackle, with more gristle than expected, followed by serious jaw exercise but only an adequate beefy taste. Of course, this is a known risk of ordering sirloin anywhere. The delicious mashed potatoes spread across an area, wider than a mound, more pooled in shape than peaked. My assertive carrots, of the “cast iron” signature treatment, were interesting and could hold their own with any fire grilled steak. The florets of broccoli were most welcome. My spouse had Ben pour another glass of Cabernet, of a fine vintage chosen by this restaurant!
For dessert, I selected the Lava Cake (a real treat) and my spouse the Tiramisu – quite good. We shared a half French Press Coffee Pot (superb coffee). There was never any rush; we chatted casually a bit with Ben. When we left, there were hearty farewells from staff. Only the lengthy, shadowy, steep descent – risky without continuous hand railing – slanting down the historic steps to Old South Street caused any discomfort. This adventure is the sole reason for dialing down the Atmosphere rating from 5 to 4. The subtracted point is perhaps more fairly applied to the City’s standards for safety ratings.

This is an overdue review…Food was okay, nothing special for the cost and the treatment you get. The service wasn’t great, we had a rude manager. But the most upsetting thing was they charged our reservation about $120 for our group, $15 p/person just to make a reservation because it was a “graduation weekend”! Never applied it to our bill. They just over charged us because of it- then told us to read the fine print. (Like who does that when making a dinner reservation?) In addition to the 20% charge for groups. I find this insulting and taking advantage of the busy celebration time. Everywhere else we ate at, the same group of people, were never charged additionally.
Like it is a privilege to just go there- instead of them thanking us for our business to keep them open. I will never go back.

Went for a Valentine’s dinner with my wife, had a great experience. We had reservations that we were early for, so we had to wait as they were busy. We were seated at our reservation time and our waitress was also the bartender. Loved the non alcoholic choices and specials. We had prosciutto wrapped asparagus, split a large salad, and had the duck and ribeye entree. We took home tiramisu (no picture). Everything was delicious and service was great despite the busy evening.

The sauce was uninspired and the ribeyes were lackluster at best. Somehow there were two different songs playing at a rather unfortunate volume. Overall an experience worth forgetting for the price of one worth remembering.
