   Enjoyed our meal. Service was good and plenty of helpful tips to help navigating gate the pre-event rush. Salmon was cooked a little more than I like, but overall the salmon with the Caesar worked for me. The corn fritters and fried zucchini appetizers were very tasty.

   Had dinner before seeing Hamilton. Great server, Dave who was attentive, cheerful and timely. We always go to The Carlile Room before a show at the Paramount Theater, can’t beat it!

   Conveniently located near the Paramount Theater. Food was okay - not worth the price. Service was mediocre. Drinks were great!

   It was good but the quality of the food wasn’t quite up to par. The salmon was over cooked and rubbery and the salad was overdressed.

   Amazing food, great location before a show or for a special occasion. The only detraction was that servers kept approaching the table to ask to take our plates while we were still visibly eating--happened four times--odd. That said, everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The cocktails and mocktails were delicious, and the coconut cream pie is one of my all-time favorites.

   All vegetarian meal was excellent. The hush puppies were so good, we got a second order, but tell them not to skimp on the jalapeño jam.

    I normally don’t write reviews but the terrible experience at this restaurant really warranted one to save hopefully many others of having a bad meal. The bottom line is that not only is the food quality is very poor, they don’t appreciate feedback and charged twice for probably the worst calamari’s I have ever had.

    Food & service acceptable, but not anything to return for. Your meal comes as fast as your salad & appetizers to hurry you along. Very noisy so I didn't waste any time leaving.

    After sitting for 30 minutes without a single server approaching our table even once, we walked out. Two servers went around to all surrounding tables checking in on them and didn’t even so much as take our drink order in 30 minutes.

    I keep trying to like this place - because I'm a fan of Tom Douglas and Brandi Carlile (the restaurants namesake). This was my 3rd visit and it was as underwhelming as the previous. I have not had this kind of experience at his other restaurants. I had an appetizer of homemade chips and onion dip - the chips were not warm and the dip had the consistency of soft cheese. My dinner of flank steak and (a very salty) asparagus salad was $35 and I had to hunt for the asparagus. I can say that all the staff that I met from the hostess to the bartender to the waitress, were lovely.

    The Carlile room was exactly what we needed. Our reservation was almost an hour later and they were able to accommodate us immediately. It was the second day of our long weekend and my family said the Carlile room was so far the best place we ate. Better than Lola’s and Serious Pie. We had the hush puppies, calamari, schnitzel, and Cesar salad. Also a variety of cocktails. We will recommend to family on future trips.

    We arrived 5 min early, restaurant was half empty, and they wouldn't seat us till 6 on the dot. The website paints the place as a reserved higher end dinning facility. The decor gives the same vibe, until you see the giant TVs with sports going at the bar and hear the noise that rivals any sports bar. Is this place a high end dining establishment or a sports bar? I daresay it doesn't know. To be clear I'm cool with either. The place just needs to be able to temper expectations. The food was fine. I had a burger that was fine. I have had other R&R ranch burgers that were delicious, this was simply fine. My wife had the salmon but it was overcooked and dry. It was also on a bed of horseradish. That was a first. They did say they were short in kitchen maybe that explains it. The service itself was pretty good. Our server was prompt and attentive. The hostess was kind. Value. I don't think the value was there. The prices were higher and that didn't reflect the atmosphere. They served me a coke in a bottle at ~$5 and a glass of ice. This is no doubt so that if you want a refill they get you another bottle for another $5. The place is OK and located conveniently to many places downtown. I still can't see us returning. I enjoyed Dough Zone across the street better

    Really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, the food was bland Way-over priced for what we received. The menu is very limited With unexpected options to choose from. After ordering the chicken schnitzel, I realized that was all that was on my plate. Left feeling very unsatisfied and upset I spent so much money for a plate of just meat. Husbands steak was bland and chewy. Atmosphere is nice and drinks are good. Staff was good.

    We chose this restaurant because we had bought Tom Douglas gift cards before Covid. Most of his restaurants have since closed. It was our anniversary and although the service was attentive they didn’t even acknowledge it. Why tell them it’s a special occasion if it goes unnoticed? The food was okay. Nothing special and the menu super limited. Only 5 main dish choices. The drink menu was more extensive. I know that restaurants are hurting but if you want repeat customers it better be beyond just ok. The ambiance has a cool retro vibe, noise level is good and our server was excellent, although the restaurant was not busy on a Sunday night. This is a theater goer spot for sure. Doubt we will be back.
