Testimonials
Hi Diane,
Thank you so much for the wonderful event on Friday, November 19th at Carmela's. The Schodack Faculty Association thoroughly enjoyed the entire evening. Your facility was clean and well cared for, your food was delicious and your servers were attentive and professional. We truly appreciate all that you do to make the evening such a success.
I am wondering if we can tentatively reserve the date of Friday, November 18, 2011 for the same event....next year?
Once again, please let everyone know how very pleased we were with our entire evening at Carmela's.

Words can not convey our thanks and appreciation for all that you did to make St. John’s Academy All Class Reunion a Big Success. The alumni are still talking about what a wonderful time they had and how good the food was at Carmela’s. Please express our thanks to the rest of the staff. “You do the Nicest Things”.

Gentleman,
On October 3rd I had the pleasure of attending my class reunion at your banquet house. For a full year I had dealt only with Diane, who couldn’t have been nicer. She promised me the world and completely delivered. When we entered the door, I was greeted by Cheryl the bartender, Nicole who was in charge, and Donna and Kathy who would be our waitresses. I found your entire wait staff to be extremely professional, courteous and efficient. Your 2 waitresses never stopped for 5 hours. Did I forget to mention that the food was excellent. Kudos to the chef. Please thank Diane for making our 60th class reunion a huge success, and for putting up with me for a whole year. She is truly an asset to your business. If you ever need a recommendation, please do not hesitate to use my name.
~Sincerely, Beverly
Management & Staff – To all,
As a recent guest 10/3/10 – class of 1950 CCHS reunion – I wanted to say thank you to all – for everything! Your restaurant is lovely. Your food was delicious. Waitresses (Kathy and Diane –I think) were courteous, professional and most capable. The bar was perfectly attended! All in all, it was a most memorable dining experience enjoyed by all, making a perfect reunion. If I have names wrong, I’m sorry, and I know kitchen staff is very important also, so Thank you All!

"I was in Carmela's Banquet House for Easter Brunch. WOW!! What a wonderful delicious assortment of food. WOW!!WOW!! How beautiful the place looks. I also have attended functions when it was the Knights of Columbus. What a Beautiful face lift you have given the place. Some of your staff I recognized from the restaurant. They are a great group of girls and we always enjoy being served by them. Congratulations to them for a great job. Congratulations to you Jim, Walter and Ken. We look forward to attending many more functions and Party's at your place. Hint, Hint... New Years Eve Bash!!! What do you think??
Good Luck with your new place Guys. "
