"Celebrate a new era of dining with the introduction of Dowling’s at The Carlyle. Newly appointed Executive Chef Sylvain Delpique (formerly of 21 Club) has created a menu that features his interpretations of timeless New York favorites and throwback dishes from another era. This latest addition to The Carlyle family is named after Robert Whittle Dowling, former owner of The Carlyle and an influential urban planner known for his passionate efforts over half a century ago to revitalize the city that never sleeps. He acquired the hotel in the 1940’s and was instrumental in turning it into the institution it is today and putting it on the map as a fashionable destination attractive to celebrities, politicians, royalty and tastemakers alike. It is through his whimsical vision that The Carlyle embodies a distinct sense of place, offering a welcoming, intimate and eclectic atmosphere for New Yorkers and visitors alike."
"The famed Bemelmans Bar may garner all the attention at the Carlyle, but it’s not the spot for a proper sit-down dinner. The hotel’s restaurant, once simply called the Carlyle, was closed for nearly two years before it reopened in fall 2021 as Dowling’s. The kitchen, under the direction of former 21 Club chef Sylvain Delpique, nods to fine dining in the 1930s and 1940s with dishes like steak Diane and salt-crusted branzino filleted tableside." - Bao Ong
"The city’s many hotels are also home to some of the best dining rooms fully decked out for the holidays. Dowling’s at the Carlyle is the newest entrant and is perfect for diners seeking a cushy, sophisticated experience. Chef Sylvain Delpique, whose cooking celebrates timeless and nostalgic dishes, is serving a menu with classics like quiche Lorraine, croque-madame, and buttermilk waffles with caramelized apple pecan marmalade for brunch." - Beth Landman
"I observed that celebrity-magnet The Carlyle revamped its restaurant as Dowling’s with a kitchen led by 21 Club alum Sylvain Delpique and a nostalgic dining room serving old-school dishes like steak Diane and a flaming sundae." - Emma Orlow
