Had a wonderful time seeing Sutton Foster at Cafe Carlyle over the holidays. An old school fancy New York City establishment and great vibes.
A few helpful notes for those interested in visiting:
Opt for an earlier reservation, as the host allows you to choose from various open tables. We had a 645 seating for the 830 show and had a great table near the bar with unobstructed views and a tad more room.
Dress code: Formal, however, a man can certainly get away without a jacket these days. I had a jacket and slacks but removed my jacket upon entering as the space is tad stuffy, some men just had one sweater. So dress for style and comfort not stuffy.
The food: We had the $95pp dinner (separate cost from the tickets and does not include drinks), and it was okay. Kinda reminded me of airport lounge food, nothing to write home about, but we were there for 3 hours, so we had to eat. If cost is a factor or if you plan to eat before, opt for bar seating, as the minimum spend is lower and still a great view.
Overall, a great time, I recommend splurging on a visit for a performer you would love to see up close and personal (which was Sutton Foster for me).

Went to Cafe Carlyle for M. Ward residency, about 25-30 tables, $95 food minimum requirement each for tables and $50 minimum requirement each for bar, dress code requirement- jacket requirement for men, sneakers and jeans were okay. All workers/staff are older men like they’ve all been there a long time? But there was really no bad seat in the house and we were able to change our 1830 reservation to 1930 and still get a good view from stage. Food isn’t worth the $95 minimum each so would do bar seating if we do come back for a show. Overall a memorable experience!

I don’t treat myself to a Cafe Carlyle dinner and show often, but when I do it’s always a magical experience. I’ve seen Dianna Agron there twice (so fun). Sharif at the bar is so friendly and kind!! Alban is also great. Shout out to the staff as they are wonderful and always make it worth the while.
Now, the seats are a bit cramped so… you’ve been warned. Though, I do find it more intimate and it’s fun to get to know the folks sitting around you!

The Carlyle is one of those places you either “get” or you don’t and I definitely “get”. Love everything about the Carlyle Hotel including Cafe Carlyle. It has style, class, a timelessness. Put on your best and enjoy an atmosphere like no other.

The overall atmosphere is a great environment for seeing a show and Dianna Agron was fantastic. The good stops there. The service was the worst I’ve experienced in Manhattan. On average, drinks took 40+ minutes to arrive and any time we inquired on the status, the waiters acted as if we were ordering drinks for the first time. Our credit card was lost at the end of the night while attempting to pay which just capped off a bad night. The manager was kind in offering to cover the bill, but it still resulted in us having to cancel our card that couldn’t be found despite us waiting by the till the entire time to close out.

It was almost unfathomably bad service. We ordered drinks, which took 30 minutes to come. They were wrong, the refresh came at an hour and 10 minutes after we had arrived. The seats are tight and uncomfortable. Because of this, the waiters need to squeeze through (was bumped 20+ times throughout the night). Then a waiter dropped a coke and spilled all over everyone in the section. They literally lost our card when charging the bill (after we had to tell them twice to take the charge off for the drinks that we sent back). Finally the manager stepped in and had to agree to not charge us. Truly unbelievable for the Carlyle hotel.

The reputation does not precede the Carlyle Cafe. The atmosphere is dated but semi-elegant. Their dress code is old fashioned and not needed; times have changed-get with the times!
Purchased tickets to see a performer that I had been wanting to see. I was so happy she was performing at The Carlyle as it is a smaller venue and I would get to be up close with the performer. I plaid extra for VIP/Premium Seating. When I arrived (40 min before my allotted time) I was stuck in a a table in a row of 6 tables. The people on each side of me were so close you would think we were the same party. Being forced to dine with the Cafe is the only way they would get patrons-their food Sucks. Their staff is horrible. The room is cramped-the waitstaff continued to bump my chair-never saying excuse me. After paying a premium for the show tickets-I was VERY unhappy to be seated in a squished seating-and then. Forced to purchase over priced food. My glass if Chardonnay was $30 while my after dinner coffee was $15. I don’t mind paying for good food, I have been to restaurants and paid $550 per person for a tasting menu and enjoyed every moment and bite. But to pay $95 for a small salad and steak tartare in a cramped room with rude staff; isnt my cup of tea. LOVED the performance, LOVED it. They wait until the end of the performance to bring everyone-Yes, everyone in the venue (over 60) their checks. Yep, 60 plus checks-and cc-tho be handleded at one time-I had to stand and wait over 20 min to pay and get my cc back. Inefficient. Did I mention their staff is rude? Yes, well, let me mention it a 4th time. RUDE!

A bit pricy but I guess you expect that when you go to the Carlyle. Food was delicious though. Reservations are required if you don’t want to wait on a (long) line.

It’s been for a while since I wanted to come for afternoon tea at the Carlyle cafe, and now it became my second favorite place for afternoon tea in the city.
My daughter, my daughter in law and I, we go every month to a different tea salon, but for some reason never got a chance to try it at the Carlyle.
Perhaps, we saved it for a special occasion.
I loved everything, the red water glasses , the decor, the ambiance small quiet room, the tea selection, the food (little scones baked at the premises are just delicious), and most of all – exceptional service.
Gilberto, our server, went above and beyond to ensure that our tea service experience was beyond superb. Everything was just perfect.
We came with two toddlers and a month old baby. Our first afternoon tea with the new family addition! Glad we picked this room.
What a wonderful and unforgettable experience, we enjoyed every minute of it.
Thank you! Can’t wait to be back.
P.s. one little comment on sugar packets- brown sugar cubes would make the whole experience even better ☺️
