I went to the Carlyle last night for Restaurant Week dinner. What an elegant affair! The restaurant is divided into two rooms both have table arranged spaciously so one would never feel crowded. There are several corner tables that are nice, you sit on the banquet with velvet pillows to lean up against.
The wine list was in general pricey, but they had at least one reasonable choice in each category, which is nice. We had Chateau de Sales Pomerol, I think it was around $70? I had the field greens, scallops and rhubarb tart. The field greens were pretty standard. The scallops were served with grilled fennel and were quite good. I loved the rhubarb tart because it was just rhubarb, not mixed with another fruit as most places do, so it had that great tart rhubarb flavor. Here is a link to the Restaurant Week menu. The service was nice, quite proper and not snobby at all. I thought they might have been since we both ordered from the Restaurant Week menu... Overall, it definitely felt like a luxury experience... as it should, the Carlyle is a Rosewood property and they certainly know luxury!
