🤮 1/5 - Probably the worst meal I've had in recent memory

Probably the worst meal I've had in recent memory (potentially ever). The one star, if anything, is for the service and the festive decor. Service was fine and as expected from an establishment like the Carlyle. We went here for the pre-fix Christmas Day dinner - cost per diner was $300 (inclusive of a 10% "administrative fee" of which I hope a good part of this fee / cost goes to the individuals working during and through the holidays) not including alcohol. Presentation-wise everything looked fantastic and as expected (again) for a place like the Carlyle. Execution on the food itself was extremely lacking. For anyone who has given the food 3 stars or more - it's astounding and I have to imagine that they've bamboozled themselves into believing it was good because of the fine dining / premium flair of the restaurant and hotel.The Bad: the leg of lamb was under salted and partially too well done and the mint chimichurri that came with it just gave the plate color (no taste and was not complementary) - the only distinguishing taste was the gaminess of under salted lamb, roasted chicken was dry / tough and again under salted - texture was like sand, the chocolate cake of the bouche de Noel tasted old and as if it was pre-made several days in advance, the duck pâté came sliced in a baked pastry which was cold and congealed / compacted with the fat of the duck with no discernible taste other than that of a deli meat. The Okay / Good: wine selection, martini, soufflé, serviceOverall, at the price point and reputation of the Carlyle I expected a lot more (even if the overall cost is baking in the premium of eating out / getting served during the holidays).The final pile on / annoyance was how they managed the line at Bemelmans (hotel bar next to Dowling's) - the host / individual managing the long line to get in basically shouted to everyone multiple times: "you have no chance of getting in here unless you're a guest of the hotel" - if that's the case, then why would you mark it as "open" and should've just put a sign out saying "hotel guests only" - no class for a classy(???) establishment like the Carlyle.
