There is a reason why I keep coming here. It’s the service !!!! And the food.I have been coming here for 23yrs. I have had everything on menu. I’m here a lot. The food is always perfect. For the off chance something is missed. They fix it right away apologize and send the manager over every time. Some of My faves : crab cake, crab fritters, mango chicken salad, all the deserts but the pecan apple holy cow…Today I was help by few people waitresses Kat, Rosario and manager Adele were great!Today I tried the new Crab imperial dip. Sooo good lots of crab and good balance of flavors. Carlyle or Carlyle Grands as I call it keep introducing new dishes.
Don't bother. Limited menu. No a la carte ordering allowed, period. Just what's on the menu. No brunch on holidays. Only two brunch items on w/e. Ghost-town empty with lots of staff just standing around. No signature items from pre-covid days. Will not return, period
My wife and I ate a late lunch here on Wednesday, 5/24/22. Our server Harold was terrific. And our deviled eggs, beef short ribs, chocolate waffle, old fashioned, and mojito, were delicious. It was a pleasant dining experience.
Lunch for four. Reservations made the day before and we arrived a few minutes early and were seated immediately. Jonathan 1 - our server - briefed us on the specials and took drink orders while we reviewed the menu. Meals and drinks delivered quickly - and all of us were pleased. It's been several months since our last time here. We'll definitely dine here again.
Good food but portions have shrunk a lot while prices have increased.
Wonderful anniversary lunch with my beautiful bride of 33 years at the Carlyle at Shirlington. Our wonderful server Rebecca is simply amazing (and wonderful) ?; the manager, Joanna, is tremendous, professional and kind! The food is high quality, but I have to say, they may have miscounted the shrimp?. Dessert was tasty and sweet, of course. Any way you slice it, a must! You will not be disappointed. Enjoy and have fun! The entire team at the Carlyle is truly the best!!!
We have always enjoyed brunch at this restaurant on a Sunday after church and were disappointed to learn that it has been discontinued. During COVID I could understand but why discontinue a popular event now that people are out and about? Oh well, will look for another brunch spot.
Lovely! One of my favorite restaurant. Our server today is fantastic .
Nothing extraordinary about this place except for their decoration. The hostess didn’t seem like their like their jobs that much. The food was overpriced and wasn’t even that good. We ordered steak frites, crab cake sandwich, and New Orleans Shrimp. They need to step up their game to increase the portion size or lower their prices because I don’t think our lunch was worth $92
Carlyle is my go-to for cozy ambiance, delectable food and great (as in prompt and attentive) service. Their fried calamari is arguably the best; crisp, lender and light. This time we tried the (melt-in-your-mouth) hanger steak and the crab cakes and were not disappointed (see photos). I don't mind that they skipped the inedible garnishes one would come to expect at upscale restaurants; everything from the warm goat cheese salad to the key lime pie was on point.
