    Maybe noise level can be controlled a bit. It was crowded with people. Wren took our order a took him some time to get it done, yet he was always passing and commenting to us. He is very professional, gentle and nice. The prices are to par with the place, but maybe a special dish promo can help…

    Wonderful staff and service. Food was great tasting. Crawfish bisque was so good and fresh. First time I have had it. Redfish and cajon dirty rice was amazing. Lots of flavor. No disappointments here.

    Went for a late dinner celebration. The food was incredible as well as the staff. Beautiful and quiet. I would definitely recommend. It is a little on the pricey side so make sure you’re prepared for that.

    We had guests in from out of town- it is the perfect place to bring people from out of town - truly magical- they had a wonderful experience touring the gardens - food was amazing- and the carriage house and turtle bar have so many lovely things to see. I highly recommend any one visiting this area of Louisiana to put the carriage house on their must experience list.

    The staff and waiter were excellent the service they provided was superb. Unfortunately, my friends ordered the eggplant Entrée and slow roasted braise beef entrée. They did not like their dishes. They said that there wasn’t enough seasoning for the eggplant and the braised roast beef was not tender. My husband and I had the redfish entrée and it was incredible. We all shared a crème brûlée, and it was outstanding. I highly recommend the redfish entrée. It is truly a divine tasting experience.

    We arrived and were asked to pick between two beautiful dining rooms. We chose the Green Room which is decorated like a men’s parlor. Our server was prompt and professional. She recommended an excellent cocktail which I loved. My husband ordered a bottle of wine. (We were staying the night, so they corked it for return to the room). We split a wedge salad which had fresh berries on it for a twist. Our server plated it for us. I ordered the sea scallops over grits with a wonderfully light sauce. My husband had the steak and shrimp. He said it was excellent. Sadly, we were too full to order dessert. Everything on this entire property is pristine and beautiful. We highly recommend eating here. Stay here as well to make it a truly wonderful experience.

    We always love going to Houmas House Plantation and The Carriage House Restaurant. We had a wonderful meal on Saturday evening 1/21/23. My husband had the Gumbo (loves it) and I had the Carriage House salad. Both delicious. We had the lamb chops special dinner and the grilled chicken. Both highly recommended. The rooms that you dine in are interesting and beautiful. Service is fantastic. Do not miss having the bread with the maple pecan butter - which they make. Totally delicious and relaxing great dining experience. Also love walking to and from the restaurant. The grounds of the plantation are perfectly manicured and beautiful. Great gift shop, too!

    The menu is sparse. Very limited appetizer menu and nothing that is shareable for the table. Appetizer portions are so small that you have to order several for the table to share and there is not enough room on the tables for all the plates. There used to be a charcuterie on the menu but they removed it which was very disappointing. I do not care for anything sweet or fried and every entree on the menu is fried or has brown sugar side or fruit reduction sauce on it. I ended up having a small wedge salad but the others at the table really enjoyed their chicken and eggplant dishes.
