Nice atmosphere, the waiter was very personable. We had a few appetizers, shrimp taco, spinach/artichoke dip, Thai calamari, and the garlic roasted cauliflower (this was a little bland). The filet mignon was super tender and tasty, yummy sautéed spinach, the mac n cheese was good. Unfortunately the prime rib was a little tough, but they made it right immediately and offered to replace with any entrée. The drinks were delish as well,, we had the toasted coconut Martini & pomegranate punch (I liked the punch bettet) The food it very good, you will not be disappointed.

This is one of my favorite go to restaurants. I love the classic history and charm of this establishment. More so, service is always pleasant and professional and food quality, preparation, and timeliness is outstanding! I’m never disappointed and the range if food options on their restaurant week is always extensive. They are great for bridal showers, special events, etc.

Went here on a Saturday night with reservations for a small group. We waited a bit for our table and had to sit on the stools. Even though it wasn’t that busy, we waited in between drinks and courses. The waiter was ok but he could have been better. The Thai shrimp was very good and flavorful. The entrees were very good also and portions were nice. Overall decent experience but I have to say that for the amount of tables and people there the service should have been better and faster and I shouldn’t have to constantly ask for more water or drinks.

Beautiful place in Babylon. Took advantage of restaurant week as shown on News12. $35 got Thai Calamari ( just right, not spicy) appetizer and a crab stuffed flounder entree along with desert. The fall sangria was great. Merlot, ginger ale, pineapple and orange juices along with some fireball and a cinnamon coated rim for that fall aroma. Highly recommend and will return for sure!

The food is absolutely amazing. The service was a little slow, but that did not take away from the food. We went Wednesday for the lobster fest. The Lobster was huge. Definitely going back again and again

My wife and I went out that night to celebrate the life of her mother who passed away a month ago. We walked around Babylon Village and found The Carriage House. She said there were many reviews that were good so I said okay let’s try it plus we found a couple of drinks we wanted to try. I am so glad I listen to my wife in her suggestions. We sat at the bar.

Went to the Carriage House for my birthday weekend. The wait was 40 minutes. But well worth it. I had the Center Cut Filet Mignon with Truffle Mac and Cheese and asparagus. Amazing. And my wife had the shrimp scampi. Definitely would recommend this place for a nice dinner and dancing. The restaurant has a section, called The Loft, where you can dance and drink.

We were very pleased by your manager Eric who graciously extended the Prix Fixe menu when we were told that the program was over at 6:00 when told on the phone we would have Prix Fixe menu for our 7:00 appt. In addition, he bought our table our first drinks. The man was 23 years old and had the perfect solution and deserves credit. My family is involved in many hospitality businesses and the cordiality is beyond expectation and is a credit to your business.

I had my daughters bridal shower here on the upper level. It was spacious and enough room to walk around, decorate, and socialize. The buffet style meals were plentiful and fresh. The young ladies attending to us were available and facilitated the event with ease. I could complain about minor mistakes, but it’s not worthy of the exceptional atmosphere and help we received cThanks Carriage House!
