Great for lunch. 5 Star Rating - World class

I have been here several times for lunch. Always pleased. Favorites include a sauted salmon dish and the ahi tuna wrap. The menu is adventurous without being daunting. I have never been here for dinner but wish to try it soon. I have also never had the tollhouse cookie dessert which I hear is also very good.

Pros: great menu
Cons: location - office building

Great restaurant especially before a show 5 Star Rating - World class

This is my favorite restaurant downtown. It has fabulous foods - steak (prime-rib especially), seafood and even chicken and salads. Thye have an extensive wine list that is not over priced for the value. The ambience is elegant. The service is outstanding.The nestle toll house pie is a must for dessert especially for chocolate lovers. It is wonderful to eat dinner at the Carlton before a show and get the free limo service to and from a show.

Use your entertainment card 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

Let me start by saying the food was good, that was a big plus. The prices are very high, so if you go, take your entertainment card. They try to be a romantic restaurant, but the way you're crammed in there, it's not very romantic.

Nice Upscale Restaurant 4 Star Rating - Very good

We enjoyed this restaurant. The service was a little spotty at times - nothing terrible, but not the best. The food was outstanding, however. The stuffed artichoke appetizer was wonderful and unique. The crusted sea bass was amazing. We had a cookie / ice cream dessert which was good (how much can you do with that?). Our coffee was generic in flavor. The wine list was extensive and well priced - though by the time they told me they were out of the bottle I'd ordered, it was too late to get another for us. The atmosphere was pleasant. I don't care for the location inside a bland office building - but once inside, I guess it doesn't matter. Overall I'd recommend it.
