The
Carlyle Restaurant: An East Side "bastion of urbanity," The
Carlyle Restaurant is an "elegant private escape" for "carriage
trade" clientele offering superb cuisine, posh décor and discrete service.
Pillow-sprinkled banquets focus on a six-foot high floral arrangement, setting
the mood of quiet elegance in a highly romantic setting of tete de negre linen,
velvet covered walls, and marble. The hotel’s art acquisition is extensive
here, with Fores’ English hunting prints and Liliacae engravings by Redoute in
the main dining area all of which contribute to a sense of quiet, understated
luxury. A smaller adjacent dining room is lined in cream and pale blue Fortuny
silk.

Lunch is served from: 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
