Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Harpenden

Good table with plenty of room for 2. Our waitress was lovely although the supervisor was less friendly. Food was great , service almost too efficient except drinks service which was a bit slow. Good atmosphere for a rainy Sunday evening

Met some friends for drinks and nibbles, so only had the chicken strips and fries which were top-quality. Cocktails were delicious, and the staff were really friendly and helpful - that perfect balance where you're looked after but not too frequently. The venue was less than half full (as we were there 4pm) but atmosphere was perfect : it wasn't too quiet, but conversely the music wasn't too loud that you felt you had to shout to be heard.

There is a lovely cosy atmosphere in this quaint historic place. Staff are very welcoming and accomodating - we had our two young daughters with us. The food was excellent -great quality, taste and portion size. I had kipper croquettes and the chalk stream trout, both delicious. Deserts are always great, plum crumble and Bramley apple cheesecake are highly recommended.

Always good, always good value. The only problem is trying to understand the complexities of the lunchtime menus and the various pricing options.

Been at carriages a number of times and never been disappinted with the service. The staff are very attentative and polite. The food is off a high quality, we have tasted most of the items on the menu and enjoyed every one of them. Highly recommend if you want a nice relaxing evening in a quality Italian restaraunt.
