The Carlile Room - Seattle

The staff were incredibly welcoming! We had a reservation for our anniversary dinner and felt incredibly welcomed. The menu is much smaller than I would’ve expected, we split the Honey Nut Squash appetizer and it was delicious. We also ordered a caesar salad with the chicken and it was okay at best.

The service was excellent. We go to the Carlile room before our shows at the Paramount. We noticed that the portions are much smaller and the food isn't as good as in the past. We would still go back, hoping it was an off night.

The experience would have been immensely better if they had been willing to accommodate my husband’s no carb diet request. He asked that the starches that accompanied his steak be substituted with anything carb free. They flatly rejected his request and acted very put out by it.

I wanted to like this place. I love Tom Douglas' other restaurants but this one is a miss. The menu is a mish mosh of everything. There's no connection between any of the dishes, and all seem randomly picked in the dark. They're all very random. The arrabiata with octopus was meh. It felt like there was also a meat sauce within it? The noodles were tasty but the dish itself was altogether not great. The fried basil did nothing to enhance the dish. My husband's burger was well done and fully cooked through, and super dry.

Service is great! Food is consistently delicious. Even when busy. Love to eat here before or after the Paramount.
