Basking in the glow of the Paramount Theatre marquee, the Carlile Room is a groovy cocktail spot serving up a modern-American bar & grill menu with vibes of the late sixties and early seventies.

Looking forward to hosting you soon

    Went here with my girlfriend for valentines day and we were looking for a more quiet, romantic atmosphere with nice food. This place was perfect! The lighting was perfect, the food was delicious and cooked perfectly, the decor was gorgeous, and the service was super sweet. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to go for a date night! Prices are also great!

    We love coming to the Carlile Room just before a show at the Paramount. You will find no better restaurant so close to the theater that also supports the theater with this specialty drinks and entrees! You'll love it!

    This is the third time we’ve been to the Carlile Room, and we’ve honestly had service issues each time. The food is good, not great. The first two times we went we mostly had drinks issues — took a long time, one person got their drink and the other didn’t, etc. This time, we had that issue as well (I had to ask for my glass of wine about 10 min after my partner got his cocktail) but our dinner order wasn’t put in. The manager noticed we were waiting and asked us, probably knowing most folks there are going to the show and on a tight schedule. He got us our food and was lovely, but it made for an annoying experience and created anxiety. Our neighbors also got one dessert about 10 minutes before the other dessert. So I would say there are some expediting and server issues that really take away from what would be an otherwise pleasant experience.

    We were with friends that we hadn’t seen for awhile. The host seated us at a great table. The server was patient and friendly. Drinks and food were delicious! I love the atmosphere and decor of the Carlile Room and am looking forward to the next time!

    I was not very impressed with this restaurant. From their website I expect a place that is clean, modern and cool, but it kinda gave me a dive bar vibe with their decor and music volume, so I was a little disappointed. The floor is not very clean and service is rather slow. The food is good actually. Overall it was not a bad experience and it's very very close Paramount Theater. Just, again, not impressed.
