    Steve the bartender is friendly and remembers repeat guests. The price fixe lunch is a good value but drinks can be pricey (as they are everywhere). They always do catchy names for drinks to go with the theme. It would have been appreciated if some menu items especially dessert went with the Christmas theme for example cotton candy gelato is interesting but doesn't shout our Christmas like eggnog would. Parsnip soup was great and they make outstanding French fries. For gluten free the choices were limited but allowed me to do 2 apps rather than app and entree. I look forward to the next show to visit the carriage house again.

    Food was okay but grossly overpriced for a small sandwich and very small beet salad. I wouldn’t ever go back for their overpriced Prix Fixe menu, for $42 per person at lunch an okay/somewhat decent salad and sandwich should definitely have come with a dessert and soft drinks. They charge $5 for an unsweetened iced tea (non flavored) and you don’t even get a free refill. The food was decent as I said but nothing special, and honestly I would not waste the money again for a $120 lunch that you could easily have gotten at a deli for less than $30.

    Today was my first time dining at the restaurant and was not disappointed. Our server Amanda couldn’t have been more attentive or nice. There was no rush and the food was excellent. The desserts were a bit pricey in contrast to the meal.

    It would be nice to see obvious vegetarian options on the menu. I understand there are silent options and our waitress was trying to be accommodating but I never have a high level of comfort when “something can be made for me” that my preference of no animal products will be fully taken into account. This is the only restaurant I go to that does not have one item on the menu. Thank you for the consideration.

    The food was wonderful. One of my guests said it was the best piece of fish he ever tasted and the burger was extraordinarily good. Our server and the chefs were very accommodating of our dietary restrictions.
