    right near the hotel & pretty good. I had a turkey burger. fries & salad. My sister had some salmon, shrimp over mash potatoes and it was pretty good. We both had a drink and it was strong lol but bomb. Our server Gisel was so friendly! We'd come back for sure, the only thing i'd say is she offered my dog water an never brought that but it's okay!

    I had a wonderful lunch at Silver Diner. It was a beautiful day so I opted to sit outside for my meal. Silver Diner has a spacious patio, not much of a view as it looks out towards the surrounding streets. However sitting outside was still very peaceful and serene. I ordered a Triple Peach Soda to start, I did not love this drink as the peach puree was very sweet and a little artificial tasting. For my meal I ordered a patty melt with a turkey patty substitution instead of a beef patty. That patty melt was amazing! It is hard to find places that have turkey burger options for non-beef eaters and Silver Diner makes a mean turkey burger. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked, not the grey lifeless turkey patty that you might receive elsewhere. I ended my meal with my favorite Silver Diner cocktail, the Tropical Sidecar. It's such a smooth drink and you can still taste the liquor without the liquor overpowering the drink. Javier was my server and he provided 10/10 service. Any request I had was fulfilled quickly and he made sure to check on me frequently, while also giving me space to enjoy my meal. Free parking (words everyone loves to hear) in the garage connected to the building that houses the restaurant. Parking in the blue section of the garage will put you close to the elevator that will take you right outside Silver Diner.

    To my surprise this is not just any diner. The food is rich with delicious taste. A variety of food to choose from. Quaint diner setting with bar. Staff were excellent. Highly recommend the fish and chips and the chicken piccata.

    The drinks, the food, and the service at this restaurant was really surprisingly great. It has that step back into history vibe with a hint of modern. Great music played in the background, so many different people from different walks of life. Great for large group small groups and singles. They even have a bar area like they had an old diners. But don't get it twisted, this place is definitely far from an old diner. Definitely an upgraded version. food and drinks were delicious across the board. I was enjoying so much conversation with friends I forgot to take pictures of the food. We ordered appetizers and shared with the group while we were drinking. It was a great great experience. Would come here again definitely.

    Food here is generally good. Bonus is the staff are friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Also, there's free parking just below the restaurant. Setting is nice enough to join family and friends. While I like most things I've had here, I wasn't big on the lemon chicken piccata. I found it dry and not really that flavorful. My son did really enjoy his chicken pot pie.

    The buffalo breakfast was unbelievable! I did not know what to expect but buffalo meat is a long term culinary favorite for us natives. It tasted delicious with every balanced bite of spice and heat. I thought I was back in Dances with Wolves with Wind in His Hair with a Mexican sombrero though, not a cavalry hat. Service was quick, on time, and the look of the place was a calm, casual dining ambiance at a great location.

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.

My sister and I visited for her birthday dinner and were excited to try the bottomless dinner experience. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive, and she made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. Unfortunately, most of the dishes we ordered just didn't hit the mark. Some were overpowering, others lacked flavor, and a few came out soggy. My favorites of the night were the Tuna Crudo and Chicken Tikka Masala. I also made sure to let our server know about my peanut and tree nut allergy. She was very understanding and specifically told us that she would communicate with the kitchen to have the nuts removed from the hummus. Unfortunately, the hummus still came out with nuts on it. Thankfully, I caught it before eating it, but this is definitely an area where better communication between the kitchen and front-of-house staff is needed. Overall, I left feeling pretty underwhelmed by the experience. I think I'd still choose their brunch over their dinner offerings any day. Maybe I just caught them on an off night, but unfortunately, the bottomless dinner wasn't too great.

The biscuits looked good as well, my friend got them as a side, but I can only eat so much. The brisket hash and brisket bennie too. Everything is awesome here. You will not go hungry.

That thoughtfulness is one of the many reasons I was excited to try it. When we arrived, I was initially concerned after learning that the "G" on the menu indicated dishes **containing** gluten rather than being gluten-free. Since many menu items were marked with a "G," I worried my options would be very limited, especially for the unlimited brunch experience. Thankfully, our server, Emma, immediately put me at ease. She brought me the food allergy menu, answered my questions with patience, and made sure I understood what was safe for me to enjoy. While my husband and I were deciding whether to stay, the manager, Antonio, came to our table after Emma shared my dietary concerns. His kindness completely changed the experience. He took the time to explain my options, offered to have the kitchen modify several dishes, and reassured me that their goal was for me to feel safe and enjoy my meal. Thanks to Emma and Antonio, what started with uncertainty became one of the most enjoyable brunch experiences I've had. I was able to enjoy a variety of delicious dishes, the mimosas were a great value, and the restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, with floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with natural light. What I'll remember most, though, is how genuinely cared for I felt. Before we left, Antonio stopped by one last time to make sure I was happy with my meal and that all of my needs had been met. My husband had put so much love and intention into choosing this restaurant, and thanks to Emma and Antonio, we both left with happy hearts and full bellies. If you have food intolerances or dietary restrictions, I hope this review gives you confidence to visit Ambar. Their team didn't just accommodate my needs. They made me feel welcome, respected, and cared for. That's the kind of hospitality that earns five stars from me.
