The Carlile Room

Oh wow!!! This is my first Carlile experience and I am ashamed I haven't discovered this place sooner! I just experienced the Taste of Iceland and goodness this has been an experience. Wonderful staff, delicious food and memorable cocktails and up to a great night out. The special menu comes in four courses and while every course was SPECTACULAR the Icelandic Cod with the Mussel sauce is number 1! This special menu is only available from this weekend so make your reservations and show The Carlile Room some love!

Wanted a nice place for dinner after our flight into Seattle. Had this place on my list and got reservations in advance. Advanced reservations were simple even tho we arrived early and were seated right away. Even tho it was a Saturday night it was not busy for us we were told it’s normally busy. Very quaint chic. Loved the look. Unique happy hour and sadly that is where we got stuck. We ate late because our flight so just not hungry enough to order a meal. The wedge, shrimp and mini corn dogs were all great. Wish we could have enjoyed a entree but had to keep room for a desert. Coconut cream pie was out of this world and a must. We were told it was a specialty. Even tho I’m not a fan of cream type pies I had to try. Was. By far the best I have ever had. Service was good and all staff were helpful and with a smile.

Another dazzling winner from Tom Douglas! The atmosphere and service was impeccable - my server, Dave, was swiftly efficient and I appreciated his sense of humor. The attention to detail, printing custom menus to match the Paramount shows says lot about the business acumen here. Devils on horseback: three delicious bites of bacon wrapped dates, stuffed with bleu cheese, drizzled with honey = sweet meaty decadence! Blackberries were super fresh and a perfect complement. Chicken schnitzel was moist inside, just the right amount of crispy outside, and the accompanying mustard sauce divinely creamy. Assorted greens with dressings served with both appetizer and entree were more than just garnish and delicious on their own. A shot of espresso and huge piece of triple coconut pie to top off the meal, and I departed quite satiated.

Very happy with our experience. Trying to remember what restaurant was there before that I went to before shows. Love that there is a good restaurant that’s not a huge chain and has good food, service and atmosphere. Our server and our hostess were very attentive and looked at us and interacted with us like we’re actually human which is becoming unfortunately rare. Must have a good manager and hiring manager. Keep up the good work!

Carlisle Room is our favorite place to eat at when visiting a show at the Paramount. Enjoying great food, decent drinks in its own unique atmosphere is the perfect way to get in a good spirit before the event. The only thing I wish they'd had was longer opening hours to stop by after the show.

Amazing food, really great blend of spices and seasonings. Pork chop special exploded with flavor. Server was really nice and answered all of our questions

I wanted to like this place. I love Tom Douglas' other restaurants but this one is a miss. The menu is a mish mosh of everything. There's no connection between any of the dishes, and all seem randomly picked in the dark. They're all very random. The arrabiata with octopus was meh. It felt like there was also a meat sauce within it? The noodles were tasty but the dish itself was altogether not great. The fried basil did nothing to enhance the dish. My husband's burger was well done and fully cooked through, and super dry.

Fun, retro bar and restaurant. We just popped by for drinks, but the food menu looked good. Definitely some unique menu items. Drinks and bar staff were great. Pictured is the Banana Kush and Bring My Flowers Now. Multiples of each were ordered.
