    As always, perfect from beginning to end. The new duck entree was absolutely fabulous. Without question, our favorite place to dine with friends and family.

    Food was top notch: oysters, beet appetizer, blue fish, hake, burger with great fries... Sadly, while our waiter, while very good technically, he clearly had zero time for us. I don't know if they were short staffed or just have no care, but it spoiled an otherwise nice dinner.

    Amazing and unique food with perfect service. We were delighted to find this gem. The whitefish pâté was a wonderful appetizer, served on a crisp block of hash browned potatoes. House made Parker House rolls were definitely worth the carbs! The pollack and monkfish entrees were amazing. We highly recommend this elevated dining experience!!

    Sat is a small room to ourselves with a large picture window with a view of the ocean. Enjoyed some local oysters, black bass crudo, their black truffle pasta special and ny strip steak. Everything was delicious and plates were cleaned by the end of each course. The pacing of the food was perfect. We cap the meal off with a slice of carrot cake with a cream cheese mousse frosting and swapped the ginger ice cream with mascarpone ice cream. Service was delightful. 10/10 can’t wait to go back!

    Went to Carriage House Saturday night with friends. Everything was great, except my friend’s Hangar Steak and the rest of the food on the plate came out cold. It took longer than usual to get our food, so it means it had to be sitting. They redid the dish as quickly as possible, but of course it disturbed our dinner. Mistakes happen, but I was disappointed they didn’t offer him a free dessert.

    The service and food were excellent. We asked to sit upstairs and were able to do so. We were met at the door and made to feel welcome from the very beginning. Our server was attentive to the timing of ordering and the food delicious. We will definitely visit again soon!!
