   Kitchen was being remodeled. So no food except nuts at 8 pm. We were never told this and had not eaten. We were there to see Steve Tyrell. Bill was $500 for drinks and cover charge of $270. Normally we would have had a meal

   We made reservations but cancelled by phone. The lady told us we were put on a waitinglist for a different date. We did not here from here anymore. We were charged 365 dollar for nothing!

   Unable to produce food or service on February 14. Show more than 45 minutes late starting. We finally left before dessert and show.

   Cuando lleganos a la puerta de café Carlyle había un hermoso cartel que anunciaba el cierre temporal desde el 31/12/17 al 03/01/18 incluso. Lamentablemente no nos han contactado para anunciarlo así como tampoco nos han ofrecido el reintegro de lo abonado por la reserva que teníamos atraves del servicio Opentable.

   OMG!! They don’t tell you is there is an additional cover of $165 per person on top of the overpriced, mediocre food. Check came to $700 for two people!! Overprice, pretentious and stuck in the 1950’s. Avoid unless your favorite movie is Casablanca, and you own a railroad.

   Carlyle cafe charged us without our authorisation. We had a reservation to go and we tried to cancel twice , once during thanksgiving (they were closed) and I was put through to voicemail where I left a voicemail saying I wanted to cancel my booking for Saturday and again the next day when they opened my partner called and cancelled personally with someone from their staff. I was very unhappy I couldn't make it and was looking forward to go back the week after. Two days later I look into my bank statements and they had charged me 272 dollars ! Excuse me?!? This is a scandal and I have taken it to my card issuer to fix this. If you are contemplating booking this place, don't ! It's dishonest to charge the people who didn't show up without having warned them they would be charged a no show ! Open table policy was saying "call cafe Carlyle directly" and this is what we did. We still can't believe this horrible shock and hoping our card issuer will be able to rectify it for us.

    The Cafe Caryle is a intimate supper club in the Caryle Hotel in NYC. The table are small, set up for two to four guest. I choose for my appetizer their lobster bisque which was very good. My wife choose the shrimp cocktail for hers, Nice large shrimp. A word of warning. Since this is a super club, there is a charge for the show, which is a separate price from the food. Which depending on the performer(s), the day of the week and the time can cost over $100.00 per person. There is also a strict dress code. Gentlemen are required to wear jackets or sports coats.
