    We had a wonderful meal at Carriage House. We chose to sit inside due to the abundance of flying insects. The room was perfect. The floor to ceiling windows looked out into the lake. Our server was very attentive. She gave us time to finish our cocktails before we ordered dinner and never made us feel rushed. We all enjoyed our meals. The French Onion Soup was very well prepared with lots of cheese. The entree’s were all fabulous. My husband especially liked the lemon meringue pie. My friend and wanted to share an after dinner ice cream cocktail and our sweet server split it for us, so we wouldn’t fight about who got more. We will go back to Carriage House again.

    We had a terrible experience. We were seated right next to an area used for bussing tables which was very distracting. Our server was slow. Bread service came out 40 minutes after being seated. Then our entrees came before our starters or salads. Those were brought right after the entrees, so the table was completely crowded. One of the entrees never came until we had all competed our meals. This is not acceptable service for such an expensive restaurant (our meal minus the missing entree was over $500).

    We had some issues with service and food. Our waitress seemed uninterested with our table. A couple next to us ordered 2 orders of the caviar and was much more interested in their service (wanting a better tip?) I had ordered a steak medium rare and it was closer to medium well. I wanted to voice my opinion but again the server was uninterested so I did not have a chance to voice this. By the end we were frustrated and just wanted to leave. This was our main honeymoon meal and we were left disappointed

    Lovely hotel in great water location. Great dining room with large windows looking over Lake Superior Huge outside patio on water for dining as well. Server was excellent but food was hit and miss. Turkey panini was great but crab cakes were disappointing. Came out warm (not hot), mushy center and bitter. Not sure if it was an ingredient or bad bread crumbs.

    Wonderful place for a great dining experience. Ambiance is wonderful - beautiful room with a spectacular view. Food is beautifully prepared and presented and, most importantly, delicious. Servers, and everyone else we encountered, were top notch - someone is clearly focused on hiring service-oriented staff. Highly recommend!

    I had two items that I did not like,the Beet salad was so so, not worth the cost and on the scallops, the ristitto had a straw like on top, which was not edible. Otherwise the scallops were excellent and the soup outstanding and drink and bar tender very nice.

    We ate here every night for 3 nights. This is the best food on the island. Even 3 days from the season opening the service was far better than 90 percent of restaurants. The duck potstickers are to die for! Try them with the mustard sauce served with the whitefish cakes.

    Terrific setting and a very beautifully appointed dining room with a stylish and vintage appeal. Art work was lovely as well. The service and culinary was thoroughly enjoyed by my wife and I. Taylor at the bar capped our experience when we joined him for after dinner drinks. Also, as guests of Hotel Iroquois, we got to enjoy the continental breakfast in this stunning venue!

    Absolutely outstanding and delightful! Took my wife to the Carriage House for dinner on her birthday after having lunch there some time ago and it was even better than we remembered. We had smoked whitefish cakes to start and they were the best we have ever tasted -- and we live in N. Michigan so we've had plenty of them in different places. A light Dijon vinaigrette was the perfect accompaniment along with a light squeeze of lemon. For the main course, we both had seared scallops in a light lemon cream sauce. Divine and perfectly cooked! They were served over wild mushroom risotto with roasted onion chiffonade. Steamed asparagus completed the beautiful presentation. An added bonus was our waiter, Cole. A former wine salesman and all-around food afficionado, he was superb with his knowledge of the menu and in his affability. All in all, one of the finest experiences we've ever had in a dining room. Great view, too. Don't miss it when you're on the island.

    The food was great. The views were beautiful. We had dinner a little early, so it wasn’t packed or loud. Our waitress Alexis was the real treat! She gave us great service and conversation. She was probably the most pleasant encounter we had on the island. She made the experience 5 star!

    Last trip to Carriage House this year. Usually eat outside but too chilly. The usual excellent service. We had the whitefish and, of course, the peanut butter chocolate dessert. Looking forward to returning next year.
