    The food and ambience here at Carriage House is amazing and especially the scallops appetizer, the red fish entree , gumbo and the eggplant Napoleon. But the best was the dessert - pistachio cake as it was best dessert I have had in the last few years. Kudos to the chef and kitchen! Thank you ! This kitchen here is a hidden gem in the culinary world!

    We’ve been going to Houmas House to enjoy the ambiance and delicious food for over twenty years. We’ve celebrated special occasions or “just because” dinners. Saturday was a lovely afternoon to enjoy a cocktail on the patio followed by dinner in The Carriage House. We saw many servers running around the property to make sure everything was top notch for the events going on. Over all we had a fabulous time.
