From www.OpenTable.com and the restaurant:
"Carnivale is a reflection of Latin culture and community, as passionate as the people themselves. The soulful cuisine allows you to explore the dishes of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, El Salvador, and Mexico. The kaleidoscope of colors, music and playful décor ignites the sense of being in a Latin house party."
Full bar. Serving lunch Mon–Fri, dinner nightly.
"Carnivale, one of Chicago's most lively restaurants, features the cuisine of Brazil, Puerto Rico, Cuba and Colombia."
– Chicago Tribune, *** (Excellent)
"The giant, 400-seat room has an infectious celebratory feel to it. Designer-owner Jerry Kleiner painted bold, Mardi Gras colors on the walls in thick stripes, placed an 80-foot-high, 2,500 bottle wine rack overhead and hung framed photographs of Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell in early-'90s couture in almost every room. It's enough to make you want to slip on a cone-shaped bra and sing Express Yourself on the balcony."
