    This was our third trip to The Carriage House, and as always, the food and service were excellent. I started with the Bisque of Curried Pumpkin, Crawfish and Corn, and finished with the Eggplant Napoleon. Both were as good as I remembered. Can't wait to come back!

    Staff was a little clueless about some things on menu. Chicken was fabulous, steak was dry. The atmosphere was beautiful though!

    Thought this place was going to be a nice date spot but felt very cheap. THE WHOLE PLACE WAS EMPTY. There was a big tv next to us. If we wanted a sports bar or somewhere to watch a tv while we ate we wouldn’t be making reservations somewhere that is supposed to be to be a destination. Food was good!

    The pork chop was dry and the redfish recipe has been changed. The risotto was with a tomato base and too salty and the portions were smaller. Disappointing considering how much we’ve loved it in the past.

    What a wonderful experience. Everyone should take the time to visit the grounds and dine in this gorgeous space. Especially around a holiday. I hope that we can come back to LA and visit here again.
