The food here was excellent and the atmosphere is beautiful! We loved the empanadas and the churrasco

Food was good. Table service was good and I loved that they adhered to social distancing guidelines.

Overall great experience. The only suggestion I would make is regarding waiting to be seated. It seemed a bit unorganized. We were moved from one spot several times in order to accommodate people passing through based on the space as we waited to be seated.

Went here for my birthday and had an amazing time!

I took my husband here for the first time. We enjoyed the entire dining experience. Ou server, Valentino, made the evening one that we will cherish.

Beautiful restaurant, and food was delicious

Everything was amazing

Food was Amazing as usual the waiter was Great. We will be back

Excellent experience once again.

I wanted to surprise my boyfriend for his birthday with a nice romantic dinner. I chose Carnivale because neither one of us has gone there and we both have been wanting to go and what better way then to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday there. Everything was amazing.

Food was very good. Great taste and perfect ambiance.

It is a fun spot and beautiful environment, but the quality and value of the food has slipped throughout the years. I would recommend for drinks and appetizers, but you have a plethora of much better dining options the Fulton Market area.

We were here to celebrate a friend's Bachelorette party. The staff gave us a complimentary champagne toast and our waiter was very attentive and informative. Dinner was amazing! I am so glad we took a chance as first time guests and look forward to future visits.

Great food, excellent ambient and decoration.

Had to wait to sit in the nicer area, but it was worth it! Food and drinks were great.

Highly recommend the cotton candy cocktail. This place was a bit pricey for the food, but the atmosphere is wonderful

What a colorful experience! We loved celebrating my daughter's 19th birthday there!

Absolutely incredible!! Love the atmosphere and the food

A vibrant atmosphere of pan Latin experience. The ambience celebrates color and envelops the experience beautifully with music delicious food. It can be a bit pricey though so definitely a place for special occasions

I haven't been to Carnivale in a long time and was so glad we made it back! I forgot how much I love this place. Food and drinks were excellent. Ambiance was fun and lively - a much appreciated respite from the pandemic. Made me feel like we were in a different place. Overall - loved everything.

The service was excellent! The waiters came by to always ask if we needed anything or doing good.

Food was really yummy. Drinks were excellent. Service was also perfect. Downgrades are Noise and prices--definitely an increase from the "old days".

Everything was perfect start to finish! The waiter gave great recommendations on drinks and starters. My husband and I both had their mojitos which were delicious! Started off with the Ropa Vieja which I could not get over how delicious the taste was! My husband ordered the Brazilian Churrasco and I had the Gaucho Steak and WOW! Can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend!

It's always a great experience when I go to Carnivale. Their food is amazing, they have great cocktails, and I love the ambiance.

The ambiance is the best part. The food was good but more on the pricey side for what we got. Although my martini was very good, I recommend getting one of the Carnival Cocktails to maximize your Latin-fusion experience

Everything was perfect! The food, the service, the atmosphere was unique and delicious!

My first time there (been meaning to go since I moved to Chicago)
The place looks amazing! Awesome concept decoration overall. Food was amazing too! Server was super polite. The only thing I would "tweak" a little bit, is the volume of the music (kinda loud) for people to be able to talk and listen to each other better.

We had a lovely meal, and our waiter, Rick was great!

Carnivale is a great place to go celebrate something special,to for date night, or celebrate a birthday!
My partner and I went to celebrate a special event and it was wonderful! The staff were super friendly and attentive and the food and drinks are phenom!
Can't wait to be back!

I made reservations for my mom’s 65th birthday, and we enjoyed everything! She was even pleasantly surprised with chocolate cake, cotton candy, and caramel for her birthday.

Wow absolutely blown away! the duck, octopus and empanadas appetizers were absolutely delicious and great portions. The steak was tasty, the carrot cake melted in your mouth and I am not a big dessert person. You have to have the cotton candy martini of course. Bussers were very attentive and our waitress notified us bar was backed up. And of course you can not get the ambience anywhere else. LOVE CARNIVALE, have to get back soon!

As always, great service, food and ambiance. The coconut shrimp appetizer is amazing! And so was the garlic mashed potatoes.

Everyone was amazing - Lucy was a great hostess and the hosts also. Great food and drinks and music, must visit in Chicago!

Ambiance and service was real goo. Our waiter Omar was amazing. Told the hostess it was my son's 21 first birthday since I could not make reference of it during my reservation (no option for comments or special requests??). By time we got check, I had to ask for the cotton candy for my son as it was never acknowledge. I did not want him to be left out because just about every group in the dining area this night was given one.
Very few choices on menu, I went specifically for my favorite salad which I had a few times before this year and Omar apologized for only having Cesar due to covid.

Thanks

Everything was amazing, from the service, to the drinks, to the food. First restaurant I’ve been to since the pandemic started and it was worth it and i felt safe.

Our server was so rude! We witnessed her talking negatively about her customers in her section to the other servers. I’m almost 50 years old and there with my adult daughter and she’s carding me. She never once smiled. She looked completely miserable. I did complain to her manager and still tipped her. I don’t plan on ever going there again. So many businesses are suffering at this point in time. Rather than being bitter, be greatful we are supporting our local restaurants. Maybe this isn’t the job for her.

This is a fun place to go. Great vibe and cool decor throughout. Service was attentive but not rushed. Their cocktail offerings were a bright spot. Try the caipirinha, cotton candy martini or Mai Tai. Excellent! We enjoyed the lamb chops and skirt steak. Delicious

Carnivale is a unique Chicago dining experience. The ambiance is different from anything else in the city. The food is Central and South American inspired. The service is consistently good.

Great fun place!

We did the restaurant week menu. The food was not very good at all and to top it off it was lukewarm. The drinks also tasted watered down and weren’t anything I’d write home about. The waiter was pleasant but either had too many tables or was not very tentative. Overall a huge let down.
