Firstly, I tried to call the restaurant for 45 minutes.
No response , 5 calls from 7:36pm-8:15pm. We were going to be late for our resy. I explained to the hostess when we arrived that we tried to call numerous times, she responded it's hard to get to the phone after hours.. we arrived at 8:50.. but I called at 7:46. They take reservations up until 9:45, what exactly do you mean? The table they took us to had terrible lighting, and had crumbs on the booth seating side. Service was okay, busser and runners were good. Refilled my own sparkling water 2x despite a "captain" coming to the table with empty glasses. Food was TERRIBLE. Escargot, house made smoked salmon, ribeye and tartare. Ribeye was ordered med rare, came medium. Tartare, pretty bad and the tiny thin chips were stale tasting. Escargot in shell, with a weird sauce, no bread but croutons.. epic fail. The Somm was great, she knew her stuff. She's great.. everything else.. no. Cost VS quality? Wasted evening.

In the mood for a classic, elegant dining experience? Dowlings is the place to go. Impeccable service transcending time in a spot known for serving Jackie O and the Kennedys, Princess Diana and today's Royales. The atmosphere is old school restaurant eatery with a mixture of funky art and eclectic floral arrangements. It was formal yet cozy. There was staff for each compartmentalized function with rolling carts to prepare food that is flambeed, deboned and otherwise plated table side. The food was very good, especially the salt crusted Branzino, white gazpacho and hamachi crudo. This is a great place for a celebration, a romantic meal, a get together with friends, a business meal.
Be the first to ReplyOne of the snazziest choices for restaurant week! Fine
One of the snazziest choices for restaurant week! Fine dining for a fraction of the regular cost. Service was top notch. They didn't rush us out when we finished dessert and coffee leisurely on a rainy afternoon. The food was craft-fully prepared with fresh ingredients. Portions were larger than expected for a place of this caliber. The ambiance, however, is the main attraction! Just old-money New York to a T. Felt like a proper UES housewife. Would love to return for jazz!

Met my friends here for lunch and had a fantastic meal and time. Mirim saw to it that our dining experience at lunch was one for the books. Can't wait to come back.
Be the first to ReplyI would have given this restaurant 5 Stars for food,
I would have given this restaurant 5 Stars for food, service & the magnificent room, however the Carlyle Hotel, Bemelman's Bar & Dowling's have completely gutted their dress code standards. We ordered champagne, caviar, appetizers & table side steak Diane but had 3 loud young punks dressed in T'shirts & sneakers seated next to us half way through our dinner. My husband was wearing a jacket/tie & I was in a dress. The people in the bar weren't much better. It's beyond disrespectful to the hotel & those who dressed appropriately for a lovely fine dining experience. I was told that "standards" are changing everywhere because they are fostering the next generation of regulars. Really? That tells me that they don't want me or people like me to dine there anymore. If elegant places lower their standards they will get what they asked for. There my be a long line to get into the bar but if people were required to dress better they would either conform or not, but the bar would still be filled w/a higher clientele. It isn't too much to require a collared, button down shirt w/a jacket but allow jeans. And "ladies" - what's up w/the white sneakers? Can't you do better than that? Don't young people have any respect for themselves or others anymore? You may think you look "cool" but most of you look like you didn't even shower. Shame on you & all of the restaurants who have trashed their standards!

It's the Carlyle!! Food is quite good, service divine and the experience memorable!
Be the first to ReplyWe went for brunch.
The venue ( in the Carlyle hotel)is quite fancy and we had all put on smart outfits, you want to be fairly well dressed. The brunch was of course on the expensive side. Pancakes were decent. French toast was a big disappointment, one tiny bit of French toast on an empty plate for like $30 ha ha. Service also fell apart a little as they forgot one of our breakfasts, so 3 of us ate while my son sat there for 20 mins waiting. Also the pastry tray which we ordered to come first came out at same time as all the other food so a bit of a rush. Worth a visit, but you are basically paying for the name and venue.
Be the first to ReplyLoved Dowling's!! It was beyond amazing.
The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. The decor was lovely and the ambiance was sublime. We're looking forward to coming back to when we're in from California.

What's not to love about this place! Beautiful ambience, sumptuous food, delightfully attentive staff and oh the live music playing in the background . I'd pick this place every time I'm around central park.
Be the first to ReplyWonderful restaurant set in the beautiful Carlyle hotel!
Wonderful restaurant set in the beautiful Carlyle hotel! Loved the paintings and photographs all around the restaurant. The service was impeccable, the captain and the servers were all so attentive to our needs and did not feel rushed at all. We ordered two restaurant week menus and a main course. All to share. This was definitely enough for 4 people. The portions were good size, not small by any means! I was full at the end of the meal. By restaurant week, ordered: - kale and farro salad (I loved this but hubby is allergic to nuts and the captain did not mention or ask if anyone had allergies before the meal!! Big no no ! Luckily I noted the nuts! Hubby did not eat this. - tuna tartare: good and fresh - pekin duck (this was good but a bit chewy and fatty) - beef short ribs (this was excellent!) - crepes Suzette with grand marnier (excellent! And cooked table side - raspberry soufflรฉ (could've skipped this, I generally love soufflรฉs but raspberry was not the best flavor) Additionally also ordered Halibut - which was also blah. Cooked in a leeks and smashed potatoes, barely any sauce, just bland And asparagus side, this was good Overall, loved the service and restaurant but food was a mere passรฉ.
Be the first to ReplyOver priced, over hyped.
They really mean well but haven't gotten their acttogether yet. Food just OK, service good. Some day may make it.Bring a load of cash.
Be the first to ReplyThis is the worst dinner experience ever, I feel the
This is the worst dinner experience ever, I feel the service is terrible and the food is so overpriced and not worth the money. First of all, the steak that we ordered on that night, it was totally disgusting, the meat is not cooked properly and you can't taste any spice and flavor of the meat. And the desert is even worse, I barely eat nothing good at that night, I just feel the service is really terrible too, we were waiting for them to get a spoon around 20 minutes.
Be the first to ReplyProbably the worst meal I've had in recent memory
Probably the worst meal I've had in recent memory (potentially ever). The one star, if anything, is for the service and the festive decor. Service was fine and as expected from an establishment like the Carlyle. We went here for the pre-fix Christmas Day dinner - cost per diner was $300 (inclusive of a 10% "administrative fee" of which I hope a good part of this fee / cost goes to the individuals working during and through the holidays) not including alcohol. Presentation-wise everything looked fantastic and as expected (again) for a place like the Carlyle. Execution on the food itself was extremely lacking. For anyone who has given the food 3 stars or more - it's astounding and I have to imagine that they've bamboozled themselves into believing it was good because of the fine dining / premium flair of the restaurant and hotel.The Bad: the leg of lamb was under salted and partially too well done and the mint chimichurri that came with it just gave the plate color (no taste and was not complementary) - the only distinguishing taste was the gaminess of under salted lamb, roasted chicken was dry / tough and again under salted - texture was like sand, the chocolate cake of the bouche de Noel tasted old and as if it was pre-made several days in advance, the duck pรขtรฉ came sliced in a baked pastry which was cold and congealed / compacted with the fat of the duck with no discernible taste other than that of a deli meat. The Okay / Good: wine selection, martini, soufflรฉ, serviceOverall, at the price point and reputation of the Carlyle I expected a lot more (even if the overall cost is baking in the premium of eating out / getting served during the holidays).The final pile on / annoyance was how they managed the line at Bemelmans (hotel bar next to Dowling's) - the host / individual managing the long line to get in basically shouted to everyone multiple times: "you have no chance of getting in here unless you're a guest of the hotel" - if that's the case, then why would you mark it as "open" and should've just put a sign out saying "hotel guests only" - no class for a classy(???) establishment like the Carlyle.

Beautiful atmosphere, decent food and drinks, and mixed service. There were really attentive staff with great personality (wish I remembered his name, but in the short amount of time I was there, we had wonderful conversations about what a beautiful day off to have, things to do in the city, and tattoos) and there were just some that were okay or wasn't in tune. The drinks were alright. The food is okay. May just stop by for a glass of wine if in the area.
Be the first to ReplyThis was an immaculate experience.
I was sort of blown away. We came to celebrate my Mom's Birthday and from the get the service was excellent. I think what I enjoyed so much about this restaurant is that it's old fashioned, fancy dining (complete with captains, servers, tableside presentations, etc.) but it never felt stuffy and the portions were nicely sized. Compared to something like Daniel where you leave hungry and feeling like you couldn't laugh or smile, lest you be scolded by the staff or other patrons, this managed to be the perfect balance of elegant and fun.The room is beautiful and not too large. The bar attached to it was packed, and although the restaurant was full on a Friday night it didn't feel overly busy or too loud. I loved the paintings and art on the wall and the unique light fixtures and other dรฉcor touches.The service, as mentioned above, was top notch. Our captain was friendly, informed, and made us feel welcome and appreciated. The food was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meal - the tuna tartare was lovely, the ribeye was cooked to perfection, someone at our table had the Steak Diane which they prepared tableside, the dover sole was presented and perfectly fileted by the table, a massive sundae was prepared and assembled tableside - just a fantastic experience throughout.It's expensive, of course. For special celebrations or those who want to splurge. But for us it was worth every penny, and I hope to find another excuse to come back soon.

This is one of those bucket list restaurants for those in NYC. Took us a few years to finally dine here and I'm glad we did. First and foremost, the service is top notch and very friendly. The atmosphere is incredible and a must see. Food was solid, but pricey as you might expect. All in all, I'd say it's worth it for a special occasion
Be the first to ReplyThanks for ruining our anniversary.
My partner made a reservation two weeks ago to celebrate our anniversary. It's restaurant week and we love trying new places and experiences. It's 90 degrees outside so my boyfriend wore a collared short and shorts and I wore a dress. Upon walking in we were instantly stopped by a security guard who told my boyfriend he was wearing shorts and the restaurant host would turn us away. The restaurant host then proceeded to tell us we should of looked at the website to see there is a dress code (I booked through google reservations and someone called to confirm and never ONCE mentioned a dress code). He then said "fine, I'll sit you in the corner." Thanks for making us feel like scum and embarrassing us on a special night.
Be the first to ReplyI was there as part of Restaurant Week.
The food was good but the overall experience was disappointing. First you have some security guy that is way too agressive and unwelcoming. Then they brought the appetizer and the main dish immediately (almost too fast IMO) but we waited 20+ min for the dessert: many staff noticed we were waiting but it's only after we inquire about it that they were brought up.
Be the first to ReplyDowlings is lovely and my dining experience was wonderful.
The food was creative and delicious and the service is unmatched. I just started a new job in the neighborhood so all of the Carlyle restaurants are going to quickly become regular spots for me. Dowlings is also perfect for special occasions. The decor is interesting and you can just feel the history of the building. Everyone who waited on us was super attentive and accommodating. The next time someone visits me from out of town I will definitely be taking them to Dowlings for a guaranteed exquisite meal!
Be the first to ReplyThe most exciting new restaurant post-pandemic! This place
The most exciting new restaurant post-pandemic! This place ticks all the boxes, brilliant chef Sylvain Delpique reinvents and elevates American and European classics in an intimate art-filled dining room. The staff are super professional and fun especially when they're finishing preparations tableside. From the original Cocktails to an after-dinner cognac, this is the place NYC has been waiting for.

Nestled in the historic Carlyle Hotel, is Dowling's Restaurant. It has stunning interiors with gorgeous framed artwork lining the inside. Brightly lit and inviting, the interiors are a spectacle of their own. It is one of the few remaining old school establishments which retains the classic fine dining structure of tables being serviced by Captains, Servers, and Bussers - all of whom are delightfully kind and warm. You are welcomed with warm bread and butter and serviced like royalty for the rest of your meal. The food was spectacular and the drinks are strong. I highly recommend ordering the table side Sundae to finish off your meal, dinner and a show. Overall, perfect.

Food has become legit delicious and my favorite place for a fancy UES lunch. I had quite possibly the single best lobster bisque and lobster sandwich in nyc! An Old New York institution with so much history.
