I have been to The Carlton",located in the Mellon Building down town, and have never been disappointed! We have always had great food with a very nice variety on the menu, along with specials. The service is the best, but it can get busy on Saturday's when there are events happening down town. They go out of their way to apologize for running late. It is pricey, but if you want a special dinner, I highly recommend The Carlton. Also, ask for Brad for your server.

"The Carlton"
I agree with Ms. Pingree's review of the Carlton - we use the entertainment card there once a year, and get a great value! We have never been disappointed in the food quality, and I thought their steak was better than Ruth's Chris. Also, we were told that a portion of the menu changes every day. I've found their specials to be both creative and tasty. This is a good way to pay for your Entertainment book each year - I believe you get a $20 value, which you can easily spend.

I don't know Brad, so I can't comment on that, but I've enjoyed the Carleton many times. It is a very special place. It is quite expensive, but it's a good value. Do they still have complementary limos to Heinz/Benedum? One of the nicest evenings I spent (on a student's budget) involved The Carleton (with an Entertainment Book Coupon) and a limo ride to the symphony (subsidized by Bayer Industries)--just amazing what you can do with a little money and a LOT of planning. :-)
