Café Carlyle

Peter Cincotti was fabulous but the dining experience was awful. Tables are way too small for a full dinner, too rushed, too crowded, waiters were angry and very expensive food was sub par.

This is my favorite hotel in the city because of the old New York charm. Magic always happens here. On this night I bumped into Reese Witherspoon and got to watch a mesmerizing jazz performance by Dianna Agron. That said, I wish they would include the price of dinner in the tickets since there is a mandatory minimum spend. I thought dinner was included with the tickets. It’s not. Alas, it was a beautifully pricy evening winding back the clock to old New York. ️

I have been many times previously and always had a good experience. This time was just awful. I was supposed to have a bar seat and was placed at a seat that would have NO view of the stage. They explained that there were others who had been given the seats with a clear view of the stage. Why? Why did they sell a ticket to a seat that had no view of the stage?? After much complaining, I was seated at a table, which was still a much worse view since there was a tall guy in front of me that blocked my view. Then, the service was incredibly slow. I had to beg to have my steak cooked the way I wanted it. The steak was only okay - not a high quality piece of meat for $97 (came with just mashed potatoes.) The show started a full 30 minutes late. Although the show was excellent, the whole thing has left me with a very sour taste and I doubt I will ever return. Clearly they don't need my business, but this is unacceptable for an evening that cost almost $300.
