"Wonderful place. Your staff helped me to propose marriage to my wife in 2004; helping to make the evening perfect to do so while finishing our dining experience. We return every year on our anniversary; March 20th."
Dani L. Horseman, Engagement, Austin, Texas, July, 2007 - Wedding May, 2008
"In July, for my birthday, Ryan told me to pick any restaurant I wanted for dinner and I chose Carmelo’s. I told him I wanted something delicious and romantic so that was my choice. The dinner was perfect…our service and food were amazing, as usual, and after dinner Ryan proposed at home on our balcony. It was great! I actually asked Ryan if he told the people at the restaurant that he was proposing that night because they treated us so well but he didn’t. The service was just that great! We are getting married in Florence, Italy in May. I’ll always remember Carmelo’s since we went there the night we got engaged!"

"I want to thank Rene and the entire restaurant staff for a wonderful dinner on Saturday evening (5/26). My wife and I celebrated our 12th anniversary and Rene let me send flowers to the restaurant and they were o the table when we arrived. My wife loved them!
Dinner was terrific (although we ordered too much), and the Bananas Foster was delicious!
It was a special night for us since Carmelo's hosted our Wedding Rehearsal Dinner on may 26, 1995 (exactly 12 years before).
Thanks again and we will be back soon!"
Jeanne Sievers, Rehearsal Dinner, Austin, Texas, May 17, 2007
"We had a wonderful time and precious memories were made. The food was
fabulous and the staff was wonderful and very accommodating. I will
recommend you to anyone with a special event. Again, thank you for
making our evening so special. We are coming in town this weekend for
the "surprise" engagement party for the next son! We are planning on
having dinner with you on Sat. evening because we loved the food and the
service!
Thanks again!"

"I just wanted to tell you how wonderful everything was at our wedding
reception (April 14th). Everyone was SO SO impressed with Carmelo's -
both the service and the food ---- I have heard so many compliments and
I am so glad that I picked your restaurant to hold my reception. A lot
of my guests said they are going to go back to the restaurant to eat!
Mike and I plan to eat there this Friday for his birthday!
Anyway, thank you again for your assistance in putting it all together.
We are so lucky to have such a fine dining establishment in Houston!"
Danny Vela, Wedding Reception, Arlington, Texas, March 24, 2007
"Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for a wonderful reception for our daughter and new son-in-law.
We were taken back a bit by the unwavering care and service by your staff. Your service staff was outstanding!
The reception room was great and the food was just fabulous. From the minute we arrived till the moment we left, there was always a staff person to assist.
We will be forever grateful to your restaurant for the wonderful evening.
We will recommend and dine in your fine establishment when we are in the Austin area again.
Thankfully yours."
