Carlyle is great if you're looking for a filling meal of American food and a comfortable yet bustling atmosphere. This restaurant has a full bar area but plenty of plush seating and offers an extensive menu of dishes from lobster rolls to jambalaya pasta (which I've had and was delicious - and the portion was big enough for me to take half home). I came here with a large group to celebrate a birthday and the service was excellent; our waiter was very patient and juggled all our orders and random requests very well. If you have a car or don't mind the long commute via public transportation (only bus lines go here), check out Carlyle.
Pros: good entrees and apps, good for groups
Cons: not metro accessible
