Basking in the glow of the Paramount Theatre marquee, the Carlile Room is a groovy cocktail spot serving up a modern-American bar & grill menu with vibes of the late sixties and early seventies.

Looking forward to hosting you soon

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Carlile Room offers a cozy, eclectic atmosphere perfect for pre-show dining near the Paramount Theater. Guests praise its "amazing" service and delicious food, with standout dishes like the shrimp scampi and schnitzel. While some found the menu quirky and portions small, the "best" old-fashioned cocktails and attentive staff make it a worthwhile visit.

    The place was fine. It’s definitely there for the convenience of a show. The service was okay and the food was just okay.

    We love going to this place when going to the Paramount for a show. The food is outstanding and the service was great. Special “Wicked” drinks made it fun. Get the steak frites… 🤩

    I had not been to the Carlisle Room for a while. My experience this time was not great. The tables are on top of each other, it was very very loud, the menu was limited, food was expensive for the value and there wine selection by the glass was very limited (as in one choice for a Chardonnay). I will not go back

    After hearing such good things about this place, it was incredibly disappointing, from the aroma when you walk in, to our waiter’s attitude and general service level. Our “baked cheese” was burnt so badly that it was impossible to even chip it out of the pan, the cocktails tasted like vinegar (undrinkable), and the food was so over peppered that it was unpalatable. Three stars is too generous.

    The service was very good. I enjoyed the ambiance and decorations for Wicked. Unfortunately, the food was less than stellar. My burger was very greasy, messy and incredibly over salted to the point of being almost inedible. If we didn’t have to leave for the show then I would’ve sent the food back. Great locator a Paramount show.

    Noise level is too loud. Servers are shouting to take orders. Table conversations are difficult to hear!

    Limited menu, overpriced. But we were going to a show. This really is the only reason we went here.

    Highly recommend the steak. The coconut cream pie was amazing. Not too sweet and very light. Perfect meal and great drinks!

    Had an excellent time at the Carlile Room for my mom’s 73rd birthday! They were so accommodating with her needs as a wheelchair user, and there is quite a bit of wheelchair accessible seating. Staff was friendly and attentive. I wish I would have gotten the name of our server, he was a delight! Food was delicious. Tbh I thought with their proximity to the theater that they could probably get away with just being “ok” due to the convenient location but the food was very good. Get the pork belly. I thought it was so fun that they themed it out for the Wicked show. The “no one mourns the wicked” drink was surprising and fun (and tasty)!
