Carlyle

The service was excellent & the food was delicious. We had the short ribs , crab & corn chowder & an oyster salad . Even our Old Fashion cocktail was good. We’ll def be back whenever we’re in the area.

Amazing from start to finish! Deviled eggs were delicious. Salmon was cooked to perfection and the white chocolate bread pudding was a great way to end the meal!

Brunch-brioche french toast/bacon/eggs (scrambled) home fries . Definitely some of the BEST french toast i have ever eaten. Service was/is excellent.

The bar in the front is a great place for lunch alone or with a friend. You can't go wrong with soup and a salad , and they don't turn up their noses if you order tea or coffee .

The doughnut things with that yummy butter they bring with it were great. Underwhelmed by the eggs Benedict though. My homemade Hollandaise sauce is much better. I might go back to try other things.

Great food and great service. We went there for brunch . Great selection. Try the French Toast . After wander next door to their bakery .

All of the good stuff from the Great American Restaurants , mojitos , crispy noodle salad , hanger steak , fresh bread .

The patio setting was really nice along with the wait staff . No reservation option offered. They did offer a call ahead option with was kind of weird to me but it worked out.

Favorite place in Shirlington for both dinner and brunch . All seafood dishes are great, esp. crab cakes . You have to order the lobster bisque .

The flour less chocolate waffle is wonderful! My favorite entrees are the Hong Kong Sea Bass and the Sesame Crusted Seared Rare Tuna Salad . Love the Warm goat cheese and spiced pecan salad too!

The Bitches Say: D. Stick to Carlyle's dinner menu , skip the brunch , unless you’re going for baked goods and friendly people. The Bitches deemed Carlyle as the Worst Brunch Across the River in 2013!

This Salmon salad is so delicious..I'll come back for it ????????

I was introduced to their brunch and loved it. This time we went for dinner . Get the short ribs !!

They are wonderful to furry friends. Dogs welcome on the other side of the fence. Water bowl provided and refilled constantly. Thanks Carlyle!

limoncello martinis are divine! and i'd do unspeakable things for more of their french toast !

Short smoked salmon fillet : "Anything you order here is delicious. I have never tried a bad dish." --Crystal Langhorne (NVM's January 2013 Eat This Now! issue)

I had the steak and eggs benedict . All of it was good. Very well seasoned. Must try.

Shrimp and grits , Hanger steak and the Carlyle 75 Drink!

Happy hour at the bar features cheeseburgers from Best Buns next door!

Beef tips pasta ! It's usually available even if it's not on the menu .

Crab cakes were delicious, as were the fries . Sauce for the cakes on the spicy side!

My favorite restaurant for brunch and dinner . May start a petition. To bring back the parmesan potatoes ..

Try the slow beef with crab cake ... Fantastic!

Order the bread pudding . Nothing else to say. The bread pudding says it all! Delicious.

Moderately fancy but polo and jeans will work. Pricy but worth it. Food and service are pretty good.

I had the deviled eggs and the Short Rib . Both were very tasty!

You can never go wrong with the Shrimp & Grits and the White Chocolate Bread Pudding is AMAZING!!

Try their Jambalaya , but order it with sticky rice instead of pasta for an amazing dish!

Arguably the best restaurant in Arlington. Tie is not needed, but I would dress nice for dinner . The filet mignon is great, but the desserts are unbeatable! Also, great sunday brunch !! Read more

The pecan encrusted trout was amazing! The calamari was one of the best I've had.

The French toast is amazing and they have the best ribeye I've ever had in my life!

bread pudding !!! and the short ribs ! food is simply delicious!

Best steak in Arlington...the filet is amazing. Also love the white chocolate raspberry bread pudding !

One of my favorite restaurants ! It's our default for friends who are new to or unfamiliar with Shirlington.

We had crab cakes benedict and Squibknocket and they were excellent!

Get the off-the-menu appetizer : combo of crab fritters and lobster potstickers !

The salmon is excellent! A window seat is a must!!

Try the Warm White Chocolate Bread Pudding With Vanilla Ice Cream And Cramel Sauce

Good food and great deserts . The bartenders are good too @

Jambalaya is great if you like well sasonated noodles , chicken and shrimps :)

The spinach artichoke dip is awesome, as was the parmesan and herb crusted flounder , and you cannot miss the chocolate waffle dessert . Amazing dinner , and worth the wait!

The crispy two noodle shrimp salad was good

Definitely try the crab fritters and the bread pudding . To die for!!

Went here on a recommendation. Excellent salads and excellent service.

Start or end with the White Chocolate Bread Pudding . You won't regret it!

Fried green tomatoes are the best!

This place is a staple in the neighborhood but I don't get it. I guess people like food that's comfortable . Great bar scene though.

The Eggs Benedict *but* with crabcakes for brunch is sooo tasty! The potatoes it comes with are cooked perfectly and really compliment the dish.

The Chicken paillard is amazing and the mango martini is awesome as well .
