This was ok! I went for High Tea and the food was good. The tea was great! I have to say the service was some of the best I've seen at a restaurant. However, the sandwiches weren't that great. Overall I don't really see this being worthwhile, but some may feel differently.

Amazing culinary experience and excellence in service. It never disappoints and always delivers the 5 stars expectations !

It’s been for a while since I wanted to come for afternoon tea at the Carlyle cafe, and now it became my second favorite place for afternoon tea in the city. My daughter, my daughter in law and I, we go every month to a different tea salon, but for some reason never got a chance to try it at the Carlyle. Perhaps, we saved it for a special occasion. I loved everything, the red water glasses 👍, the decor, the ambiance small quiet room, the tea selection, the food (little scones baked at the premises are just delicious), and most of all - exceptional service. Gilberto, our server, went above and beyond to ensure that our tea service experience was beyond superb. Everything was just perfect. We came with two toddlers and a month old baby. Our first afternoon tea with the new family addition! Glad we picked this room. What a wonderful and unforgettable experience, we enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you! Can’t wait to be back. P.s. one little comment on sugar packets- brown sugar cubes would make the whole experience even better ☺️

The best hotel because of the people here. It's a dream being here...even though we are not celebrities we felt as though we were. The service is hands down the best we have ever experienced. We just got married and ended out our journey being here which was my surprise gift from my husband. Love this historic hotel..special thanks to Johnathan at the front desk for being so amazing.

Incredible experience. A must if you are a jazz fan. Gorgeous dinner. Monday night with Woddy Allen and jazz band

Food is pretty terrible and the cost is incredible but everything else about the Cafe Carlyle is just the ultimate best in New York - the space, the service, and the cabaret. Go once in your life, at least. You won’t forget it.

This is a must if you're going to be in NYC. Even if you just pop in for a cocktail on a Tuesday night. It's like being in another time. Servers on tux, beautiful art, top notch drinks, and just an all around treat.

I came here for afternoon Tea with my group this past June. The decor alone takes you in-I looove. Though it is a small space, you do not feel as if people can intrude on your conversation- the layout has been well planned to exude intimacy but also a feeling of spaciousness. The spread was adequate. I recommend the peaches and ginger tea if your into spicy sweet. I had the Tropical green which is more on the herbal side.My only objection is the packet sugar. It screams diner and cheapens the experience. Sugar cubes are a must.

I loved it there. They had vegan options for me and my sister who are vegan. We saw Dianna Agron perform and she was incredible, I cried a lot as a super Glee fan and just fan of hers in general. It was a beautiful environment, and honestly not badly priced for the food and show. The service was super nice and accommodated to us very well. Great time 👍.

Brunch at the Carlyle is so fabulously luxurious. You are greeted, seated at perfectly appointed tables with gorgeous linens and then offered big fat menus. We came on a day that was simply horrid with rain so sitting and chilling was just right and a slow relaxed brunch was heaven. No one was rushing and in NYC that is something of a miracle! Brunch is 3 courses and so large and so delicious. They always have a glorious hunk of meat in the trolley and it is not to be missed. We were stuffed but dessert was awesome. After the longest brunch we headed to the iconic Bemelman’s bar for a cocktail. Now this is what Sunday is all about. Please follow @joannasable on instagram for more food and travel fun.

The decoration, the history of the artist is all I will give a positive to. The wait to get in to this bar makes the experience so much less than it should be. They should consider making it reservation based, no one likes to wait in a line and by the time people get seated, they are frustrated and creates a tense energy. If you stay at the hotel it’s probably fine i don’t have that experience to tell you, but if you’re here to enjoy jazz and have a nice evening, you'll have to stand for 45 min at least, in a line like a child in a hallway looking through a glass door as others who chose to not sit at the jazz bar drink their drinks. I stood for an hour because I was really curious what the hype was about. After a long wait you expect to be seated but are directed to stand again near the bar awkwardly unless you are persistent and give off an annoyed, “‘entitled vibe”, in which case you may be eventually seated in a corner of the bar. The service understands this place is high demand so they don’t care to be nice or patient with you so be prepared with a quick order and don’t expect to be treated graciously if you have any questions about the cocktails. The first time coming here as a 29 year old woman who loves jazz and was genuinely interested in a good ambiance and music, I left before entering the bar because an 89 year old man came up to me and my friends sizing us as if we wanted to come sit at his table. He said something like turn around let me look at you to approve you getting in faster. We were dressed conservatively yet he had the audacity to address us as if we were working women. We ignored him and left the bar because his disgusting assumptions left us with a sour impression of the place. So I decided to return because a friend recommended this place and I came back to try it again with my mother dressing even more conservatively, making sure I would not give off the impression I was looking for a man just because I was either young or good looking. I was sized by every entitled 40year old woman who thought I was about to steal her husband or date. I have never felt so uncomfortable at an establishment where I am ready, willing and excited to give my money in order to have a nice classy night out. If I must be old blonde or a man to enjoy this bar, then I’m sorry but I’d like to try out some other places. What an entirely entitled bar. Maybe when I’m wrinkled or walking in with a man will I be treated better, because clearly kindness, patience, and class did not work for me two times in a row.though I’ll likely never come back and give my money to this establishment.

Beautiful old school vibe. Service could use some polish and bartenders don't know how to make drinks outside their menu. Stick w menu cocktails or get some wine :) didnt like the old fashioned or French mule they failed miserably making... Trio band comes after 930pm w cover charge of 35 per person. They take 15 min breaks after playing 15 minutes and then disappear after about 11pm. Not impressed w service or apps.

There's nothing quite like an evening at the Carlyle , the premier cabaret in town. Dining here brings me immense joy, and witnessing the live performances elevates the experience to something truly exceptional.

Great place for music

If you dont wear PRADA and Hermes bag, they dont treat you like human

Always packed, but we managed to get two seats at the (Bemelmans) bar. Delicious drinks (we recommend the Fleur de Paradis), fresh bar snacks (we also ordered from the bar menu), AND there was a terrific piano-sax duo (cover required but worth it). Lovely spontaneous NYC experience.

The food was impeccable as one can imagine. The service here is beyond the bar I felt like we were the only ones in the place Eventbrite was packed. So good.

Snobby bartenders. Cool venue full of history. Classy but there is a distinct difference between class and snobbishly rude service.

Amazing atmosphere but two things: they should make a dress code instead of letting people who don't respect the music ruin the enjoyment of tasteful guests. Also, I am highly allergic to nuts and I started getting hives after 30 minutes. 5 stars for service and atmosphere, but rounding it out adds up to 2 stars for the wallpaper (tasteful) and the hives (very not tasteful).

I thoroughly enjoy an evening at the Cafe Carlyle. There is nothing better than a nice supper, surrounded by interesting people from all over the world, with amazing entertainment, in a legendary supper club. This is NYC's best experiences. On our recent visit we saw Michael Feinstein. He delivers an excellent show everytime. Food is terrific and beverage program satisfies cocktail, champagne and wine drinkers. We never miss a visit to CC when we are in NYC.

Always the best.

Nashville hot chicken: extremely delicious - Juicy? YES - Howlin spice level chicken: very delicious and very deadly - Milk needed? For sure - Waffles: delicious - Other sides: okay - Should you try this? YES!!! - Wait in line? Not if you can help it (you should order ahead) - Best chicken ever in the history of chicken: Yes - Stars: FIVE

Greatly appreciated one of the more incredible meals I have had.

Bemelmans is always fun...the wallpaper alone makes it so

Excellent food and service. Sadly it is presently closed

First off, the staff was awesome. They took our orders quickly, brought me my foam-a-licious chai quickly, and had our food on the table faster than I would have thought possible.

Great place for dinner for two. The atmosphere is very romantic and relaxing. Dined at this restaurant several times, and always had the best experience. Service is great. Food and drinks are delicious. Definitely recommend to have a nice romantic dinner in here.

Anthony Bourdain loved the bar. Enough said

Historical and quaint atmosphere

Cafe Carlysle is a gem, in the old New York style which is so rapidly disappearing. But of course, if you want an evening of wonderful music, and lively conversation with virtually any other guest, when in New York - visit Bemelmann's Bar, right next door. I'm there at least once a week, on average, and have been going for years. If you do visit Bemelmann's, look for Tim, who has been with the establishment for 30 years, and may, indeed, be the best bar man in North America. I kid thee not.

Wait line to get in...Wait service slow. Had to leave before getting drink. My husband and I gave up our seats so our daughter, who was with a wedding group, could come in They made her stand next to the wall, not near her group, and never offered her a seat or drink. Terrible system.

A fabulous place to go. It is an exquisite property that lives up to all the hype past and present. And Bemmealmans Bar makes great hand made drinks in a very comfortable environment where you can be dress to the nines or in casual dress. When you get there ask for Leo he is a wonder representative of the property. All thumbs up

So happy to have one of the most iconic old New York hot spots back in action! Been too long. And Isaac was a fabulous opener

Mind the cover charge and you'll have a good time and not feel ripped off. Don't misunderstand, I have no issue with a cover charge if you get value for it and it is well publicized. The band spent more time on break than playing the night I went. Love the bar but could do without the band.

Bemmelman's Bar is a superb experience. When one takes in the atmosphere, the price is appropriate

Extremely rude asian waiter, asked multiple times for tea and he became very aggressive. This guy definitely doesn’t enjoy his job

Went last night to revisit our wonderful times seeing Bobby short and Steve tyrell. Things have changed. It is now a packed price gouge featuring has -been talent. MichaelFeinstein was good 20 years ago. Now, he can barely hit the notes. Don’t waste your money

We're long time customers for more than 20 years. It's always been magical. But Bemelman's is no longer a well kept secret. Tons of heathen have decended on the place more to be seen then to appreciate it. Headwaiter told us the line would move quickly, but it didn't. We waited more than an hour but didn't get in. It was disappointing to be lied to about it by someone we had dealt with before. They've raised the price to try to filter some of the crowd. But it hasn't worked because unfortunately, there's a lot of rich trash out there. The place is still iconic and beautiful and, as Bobby would have said, 'Swank'. the music, food, drinks and service are still wonderful. But I think, unfortunately, Bemelman's, as we knew it, is over.

Classic NY fine dining. Provides an intimate setting for entertainers to perform. Food was great, service was stellar. The manager, GoGo, greeted us and also checked on us twice during our meal. It would not be the same excellent experience without him.

I can't say enough wonderful things about the staff at The Carlyle. Everyone was so friendly and amazing. David and Jared in concierge were incredible. Demetrius in the bar was the best. The food and drinks were delicious as well. I will definitely be back.

Staff is helpful and very kind.

Fantastic service, food, and ambiance. An NYC must.

If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in New York City, look no further than The Carlyle, a Rosewood Hotel in the heart of the city. As a travel destination and entertainment critic as well as a wedding / event organiser this sophisticated hotel with top-notch music events at the Cafe Carlyle and the Behelmans Bar are our No. 1 recommendation. Just dined at the Cafe Carlyle while being entertained by Cheyenne Jackson. A spectacular event and an entertainer of extraordinary talent. Now that's put New York City top of our list of destinations!

There's nothing quite like The Carlyle. It's a unique experience steeped in tradition. If you're lucky enough to catch Earl Rose on the piano, you're in for a treat.

Afternoon tea time. Perfect for a nice getaway with beautiful interior design, surrounded by historic Carlyle hotel features, luxurious table seating, cozy and comfortable stay. Wait staff were friendly and helpful. Quality quiet tea time with delicious tea sandwiches and English scones. Perfect for ladies and dates!

The drinks were delicious and pricey. But the space/ambiance felt very stuffy.

New York CHARM!!

Classic old school

Iconic venue for intimate performance.

Retro

(Translated by Google) Very good atmosphere (Original) Muy buen ambiente

Had many lovely dinners with my Father, it was one of his special places. Food, wine, cocktails and the service are fabulous. I met many interesting people always having great tales of their lives. I return a few times a year. Still see some unique people. The Carlyle is more than dinner, cocktails, comfortable rooms. It's an experience to be savored and cherished. Like my Father, it too is my happy places. Thank you ?

Great singer, restaurant and food , service was good

Always a great meal no matter what you order... Pricey but you get what you pay for..

This spot is good! Convenient pricing, considerable dishes and the staff members are constantly very friendly.

The paintings on the wall are pretty nifty, and they have a live pianist while you enjoy your dinner and drinks.

Bemelmens Bar is beautiful. Excellent service also

Unbelievable, indescribable, cozy & warm. Out of my top 3 hotels in N.Y. It’s #1. Love you, don’t go changing. It’ll break my heart. James Gallagher

Nice place and deftly will come back

Chic, elegant, classic, just "La Belle Epoc" de New York

Food, ambiance, service, value, elegance, convenience, just breathtaking if you like to dine out.

Bartender poured my cocktail from a pre mixed container! A four ingredient cocktail, pre mixed, just add ice and pour. All for the low price of $24.

Servers are helpful, friendly. Great place to talk, have business meetings. Early afternoon calm.

If Google had 7 stars it would make all 7. As classy yet unpretentious as you can get.

A Classic Staple at Bemelmans Bar for a drink

Very posh and expensive

Awful food. Awful location. Awful people. 0/10

Great drinks, bartender and vibe. A N.Y. staple.

Went for an afternoon High Tea on a beautiful Sunday. This is served in the Gallery. Fortunately for us the lower part of the Gallery was exclusively ours. Servers were very courteous but not always remember to check on us. Food is not awe-inspiring though pleasant. An excellent setting for a relaxed un-hurried conversation or a quite intimate solitary laptop.

Very upscale dining with fabulous music. Saw Woody Allen play jazz whilst enjoying fabulous foods.

Quirky, great bar, atmosphere, service... I lovvvvved!

Love it very crowded but grate to watch people .

Best hotel in NYC

Awesome murals at Bemelmans, cool vibe

Great place for High Noon Tea

Not what it used to be
