About Us

Carlyle is first and foremost a restaurant offering elegant and contemporary interpretations of French and American-regional cuisines. Drawing upon a bounty of locally farmed produce, specialty meats and seafood, Carlyle executes an ever-changing menu celebrating, and inspired by, the best of each season

Carlyle, for many, is an oasis. Located within the ever-expanding Pearl and warehouse districts of Northwest Portland, its intimate cherry wood bar and tailored urban appointments invite an evening of quiet luxury, impeccable service, and rarefied culinary adventure.

Opened in 2003, owner Bruce Goldberg wanted a Gotham-like nod to his favorite NYC haunts, and set about creating the sleek and understated environment that his many loyal customers have grown to cherish.

Chef Jake Martin

As Chef de Cuisine of Seattle's lauded Veil Restaurant, Jake introduced the city to his contemporary recalibration of classic dishes with a focus on clean, bright flavors, and simple, yet dynamic presentations. 

Teaming with Ethan Stowell at Union and Maria Hines at Tilth, Chef Martin further explored the seasonal treasures of the Olympic Peninsula.  The wealth of local seafood, impeccable produce, and the unique cultural influences of the Pacific Rim, has all contributed to Jake's evolving palette.
