    We have been to The Carriage House many times. The food was not good this time. The desserts were awful. The salmon was not good. Very unusual for The Carriage House.

    Food was excellent. Steak was tender, pork chop better than I have had and the rack of lamb was simply out of this world. Our complements to the chef and his staff.

    There is no better place to go to then the Carriage House if you are going to the Paper Mill Playhouse. Not only is it convenient, but the food is unbelievable. Never had a bad meal and I have been to the Carriage House many times. Besides the food, the service is great and the waiters/waitresses are always so accommodating and friendly. I would highly recommend the Carriage House. Enjoy!

    We had a fabulous anniversary dinner. The staff was exceptional. They were friendly, helpful, and took care of our every need in a timely manner. The Manager and Executive Chef came by our table to insure we were satisfied with our meal. The meal was outstanding! We enjoyed every morsel from the appetizer through the desert. We highly recommend the Carriage House Restaurant.

    We had a delicious luncheon today at the Carriage House. I had the Black Bean soup and Chicken Breast. Both were delicious. My friend had Shrimp Cocktail (the shrimp were huge) and the Flat Steak with eggs. She said the steak was fabulous.
