    Beautiful setting for a preshow holiday luncheon. Parsnip soup and chicken were delicious. Shared the snowball for dessert which was perfection.

    This was our first trip to the Carriage House. The appetizer was superb, jumbo shrimp. We ordered a White Christmas martini which was delicious but a bit pricey. My wife ordered the Orecchiette pasta with crumbled sausage, which looked good but was very salty. I ordered the 14 oz boneless ribeye with an Anna pomme. I would have preferred mashed, baked or roasted potatoes. There was no choice. The steak was great. We ordered two glasses of Chianti which was as pricey as the martinis. The dessert for my wife was a coconut snowball. It was ok. I don’t recall the name of my chocolate dessert but it was quite dense. We had two cappuccinos that were good but also pricey. The server was spectacular, Sonia. Will we return? I don’t think so. Sorry!

    Started out with drinks at the bar, all the bartenders weee great. Chef came over and talked to us, telling us about events going on. At Dinner Brandon was our server and he was great, knew the menu and made sure our drinks weee never empty. We had the duck and the pasta with sausage both excellent, chocolate mousse was delicious. Great way to start out before the play.

    Happy with the choices on the pre-fix menu. The appetizers and dinner choice that we selected were delicious. Our server was attentive, courteous and friendly. The reservationist and staff were also courteous and friendly. We were not rushed and were able to enjoy the whole dining experience.

    The food and service are exemplary. I enjoy dining at The Carriage House whenever I go to The Paper Mill Playhouse. The staff is accommodating of allergies and special requests. The chef always comes out to the dining room to ensure that the food was acceptable. It always is.
