I go out dinning all the time in NYC, I never eat home. I can go to a small burger joint or to a 3 star Michelin restaurant, depending on who I go with (entertaining clients, etc...). A few weeks ago I wanted to take my wife out for dinner but did not want to go far (we live UES), we decided to go to The Carlyle Restaurant, at The Carlyle Hotel. I thought it would be another simple, boring, hotel restaurant meal. But it was not like that AT ALL! It was certainly one of the very best meals I have had in town. From the arrival and the way we were escorted to our table till the moment we left and my wife was given a small bag with a chocolate box (now I know they give it to every lady after dinner) everything was perfect. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the ingredients and the portions, and the service is excellent but not obstrusive. The waitstaff are very nice, as is the sommelier and the manager. Great dinning experience! I go there as often as I can now... (Try the Dover Sole, it's amazing).
Pros: Service, Elegant Decor, Quiet and not noisy
Cons: None
