The Carlile room should be reminiscent of the brass and fern bars where he first worked in this city. And as well it is an homage to a turning point in America “when the shit hit the fan”.
Talking about the food The Carlile Room ideas to change the way people thing about vegetables. Tom Douglas says that it would be the center of the plate. All the menu is full of fresh options, what was Tom Douglas one of the personal directions. He wasn’t fooling that products will be ecological and dishes veggie centric: save the list of cheeses, “Plants” is the longest section on Chef Dezi Bonow’s dinner menu. Dishes varies from marinated Tokyo turnips, to creamed corn or chickpea-fava fritters and many others that are made mainly out of plants. Although meats are not forgotten, there are duckfat hush puppies or corned beef tongue.

Nevertheless, the finishing touches of interior are made by lightning. The lighting of the restaurant counts with some of DelightFULL’s pendant lighting options. This luxurious Portuguese design brand placed its pieces at the entrance of the restaurant (Norah Suspension Lamp) and also inside of the main room (Neil Suspension Lamp).
