Carriage House is American classics with intercontinental flair. It’s Cheeseburgers and Pomme Pave. It’s Lobster Chiterra and Spam Confit Croquettes. Nothing is too casual, nothing is too sophisticated, and everything is next level good. See our latest menu here.Our building was a Carriage House for police horses in the early 1900s. The Chef's Room to the back door is the original footprint, which over time, has been built outwards to the current street and the facade we know now. The first business to occupy the space was, in fact, a bar in the early 1940s.

    Start to finish 5 stars. The food was some of the best I’ve ever had in NYC. The staff was attentive without being intrusive. The drinks were perfectly described and made. Chef Amanda Freitag came and talked to us for a few minutes between courses. A wonderful experience I would do again.

    We enjoyed our evening at the Cardiage House. Our only surprise disappointment is that the menu on their website apparently is over a year old so what we thought we were going to order we couldn’t. However, the food we did get to order was still delicious. Drinks were great and the pan de Sal (pull apart bread) was a highlight as well as the burger and side of fries which came with both Mayo and Ketchup to dip. We ordered the Sambal chicken and it was just ok. We were told it was a half chicken but only a quarter piece came out and the seasoning/marinade was so light if it was on there you couldn’t taste any of the ingredients described in the menu. I did have a suggestion. We included in our reservation that this was a special date night and it was acknowledged via Opentable. I half expected there to be a surprise at the restaurant or a dish from the chef but alas nothing. For an added personal experience that would have been nice.

    This is a beautiful brasserie with fantastic service and good food. My only complaint was that the hanger steak was incredibly tough and difficult to cut even though I was using a steak knife.

    Vibes are cozy and upscale. The food was delicious, unfortunately some of the cocktails were a bit off/not to our liking, but the wine choices were fantastic and the waiter was quick to make a swap. The team at Jeans made my birthday party extra special with a champagne toast at the end of the night! Thanks all - can't wait to come back!
