The restaurant is super dog friendly. There is even a dog sitting tall at the bar. Our waitress gave our pup a treat and brought him a bowl of water with ice cubes. Extra points on such a hot day. Their patio is super comfortable with a cross breeze to dissipate the summer heat. We love coming here in summer.

Let's start with the Sunday Brunch…read more I defy anyone to find fault with that value. First round of mimosas is expensive but the next six rounds is cheeeeap. And the selection?!?! For under $70 two people can have crab cakes benedict, fried brussels, crispy French toast... I don't even remember. Like ten different things! I didn't have to eat again until 9pm. The food was great! Vinny, who was our handler (clearly he has training in special education or something because we that table. Or maybe the TIPS trainings have advanced to include messy brunch people) was fun, patient, and knowledgeable. This is THE SPOT for brunch on Sunday.

We had monkey bread for the table, amazing. My first time trying money bread and it was my favorite item by far. My friend had the French toast and I had chicken and waffles. We both thought they were fine. Large portion size but the chicken could use more flavor. I'd come back again if just for the monkey bread!

It was a Friday evening-- and they were NOT crazy busy, but the service was SLOW! Like crazy slow. I swear our waiter was avoiding us. A couple of our dishes were warm at best when they were presented -- clearly prepped and sitting in the kitchen for too long before they were brought out. So come for the food -- but don't expect it to be a quick meal.

I am so glad I located this place from the app. I ordered from their classy little menu chicken, eggs, & waffle; and there was nothing small about this plate. It was delicious. The service was just as great and very fast. I recommend this place to small groups of likeminded individuals.

Wanted a break from the usual chain spots like Chipotle, Panera, and Chopt, so my colleague and I…read moredecided to take a drive up Wilson Blvd to see what we could find. As we passed Nettie's Tavern, we noticed a sign advertising $5 burgers on Wednesdays, absolute perfect timing since it was Wednesday, we had to check it out. When we walked in, it was clear we weren't the only ones with that idea--the place was lively and packed. There was a short wait for tables, but we got lucky and snagged two seats at the bar. We both ordered the $5 burger and a side of fries. The burger could have used a bit more seasoning, but it was cooked perfectly, which definitely made up for it. Overall, this is a great find for an affordable lunch option (at least on Wednesdays). The energy was fun, the deal is hard to beat, and we'll definitely be back.

I ordered the chicken sandwich, hot honey style and I just expected better flavors and the less messy sandwich. My hands were filled with oil and buffalo sauce to the point I didn't wanna eat anymore. Presentation was OK. I may return for brunch to get that experience but overall 5/10

After getting off a plane from a week-long trip, I ordered takeout from Carlisle for my mom and me…read more I dropped her food off in D.C. and continued on to Catonsville, and somewhere between the drive, stopping at the store, and unpacking from my trip, I realized I hadn't even taken any pictures because I was too busy enjoying the food along the way and when i arrived home. I ordered the steak (sliced steak with mushrooms) , and it was excellent ....well-seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. The mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious. We also got the crab and corn chowder, which is always outstanding. Rich, comforting, and packed with flavor every time. Key lime pie .... on point .... oh and a salad. i got the chopped salad and added the ever so good goats cheese. Everything was EXCELLENT. What I appreciate most about Carlisle is the consistency. Whether I'm dining in or picking up takeout, the food is always good. Not just okay BUT actually flavorful, well-prepared, and satisfying. That's harder to find than it should be these days. I've been here many MANY times over the years and the experience is consistently excellent. The service is great when dining in, pickup is always smooth and efficient, and the food never disappoints. Carlyle continues to be one of those reliable places that simply gets it right. And whenever I pick up my to go order the bar is always crowded with folks looking like they are having a great time. That should tell you something. Highly recommended.

I've frequented this restaurant many times and even shop their bakery regularly. BUT, the sit down restaurant let us down! Food wasn't cooked like we specified and Noone said anything because I wasn't going to eat, why? Because despite two waiters saying there was a delay, they had completely forgotten my order... The manager finally came and apologized offering me some French fries and to bag my dinner as it still needed to be made while everyone else was finished... very disappointed! We had made a Resy reservation and we had to wait like everyone else who was arriving.

The espresso martinis and bubbly rose are my favorite libations. Though I did mention that the bar is usually packed, service is hit or miss.

Keep that in mind and be patient when the venue is packed.

TLDR happy hour is only at the bar and the food is good but service isn't…read more Came on mother's day and came early, before they were busy. When we made the reservation in advance, we called to ask if happy hour was everywhere or just at the bar; they said everywhere, so we booked a table. Plot twist, it's only at the bar / downstairs :))) We arrived 15 minutes early, so while they got our table ready, we ordered at the bar. 5 stars for the bartender. If I could review her, the host, and the happy hour prices in isolation, I would! They moved us upstairs, we sat down, and immediately saw the menus were different. We asked the gentleman bringing waters about happy hour and he sent the waiter over. The waiter, with about 2% helpfulness, shared that happy hour is only downstairs. I mentioned that we had called in advance to ask. We asked if it would be possible to have that menu or perhaps move. The conversation felt like pulling teeth. He said, with much dismissiveness, it was up to the host downstairs to move and if they had availability and left. (Fair, we move, he doesn't get his tip. An alternative? Give us the happy hour menu, still get your tip. Better yet, just be slightly helpful?) The host downstairs found us a table but shared it was booked at 6:15 so we needed to be in and out. It was no problem because we had arrived before 5 (early, remember?). Although, it took 15 minutes (I timed it!) for anyone to come bring waters or address us as their table. A little hard to operate with urgency when no one takes your order!! I got up, told the host stand, and they sent a server over, and he proceeded to come back all of three times. We also had to flag him down to get our check, while we sat with empty waters that were never once refilled. We had pizza, cod sliders, and half orders of aglio e olio pasta. The cod sliders were more breadding than fish, but the flavor was decent. The pasta was delicious. No five star Italian meal, but it hit the spot and the portion was plentiful. I didn't try the pizza but it was 12 inches, piping hot, and the two eating it couldn't finish it. The food came out quickly and hot. I think we spent under or just about $100 for four folks to have dinner + drinks, so the prices are really solid. Perhaps you get what you pay for though? Both of our male servers seemed annoyed to be dealing with us and mostly unhelpful. Noteworthy mention: there was a female server who was kind enough to bring us a brown paper bag for our to go box. She was running around and her tables seemed well cared for. Disappointed in my experience and the customer service.
