So busy but the servers did the best they could. The food was served hot which was important.Wheelchair accessibility: They have an elevator to go to the 2nd floor. Very small but a wheelchair would fit in it.

We are never disappointed with this restaurant. The food is good and service consistent. The New Year's Eve prix fixe dinner had plenty a choices per course, and all selections were prepared well. Our server, Justin, was ezcellent. Polite, efficient, and pleasant.

We normally have Christmas Eve dinner at the Argyle in Babylon. This year we switched it up and tried the Carriage House. The ambiance was beautiful. The restaurant is decorated beautifully for the holidays. The food and service were both less than hoped for.

Thanksgiving dinner was delicious! Only complaint I could offer is it was a little cold easy fix just bring something to have in case your cold.Kudos to the staff for making Thanksgiving a wonderful memory for my family.

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.

Place is amazing. Melissa was so great as our server. Everything came exactly as expected. The butter nut squash was to die for!!!

I had the crab cake and I felt it was not cooked enough, mushy and lukewarm. The filet mignon came with spinach. Both had no taste. The drinks were good, but they charged $2.50 per drink for ice!!! Not the best experience.

We had some issues. Bar drinks were inconsistent.....one was waaaaaayyyyy too spicy and one tasted like there was no liquor. Then one of our meals came out incorrectly (2x). I am not sure we would go back again for the prices you charge.

We were a little disappointed with the restaurant week menu. I would hope that they would really go above and beyond if you were trying a restaurant for the first time. We were not but the skirt steak was the size of a Band-Aid. The salmon was excellent as were the salad and the dessert was very good but it was not a soufflé!

First time eating at the Carriage House taking advantage of Restaurant Week. Totally enjoyed my meal, portions were large and prepared perfectly. The only thing lacking was the ambiance at the upstairs dining area, the large fireplace was not working due to a maintenance issue. As we sitting directly in front of it it would have been perfect, maybe next time.

Had a b'day party. Service was excellent! Food excellent! Had a blast. Erin catering manager who over saw the party from beginning to end was awesome! Major success!*****

The baked clams for 16.50 were all bread. The pasta with seared shrimp had boiled shrimp and didn't have a scampi sauce as written. They didn't have the wine or tea I asked for. All I wanted was a white Zin and a plain Lipton type of tea, nothing exotic! The service was very good and attentive but this was our first visit to Babylon Carriage House because we came from a distance to see a show at the nearby theater. I had heard good things about it and unfortunately we were disappointed.

We went to the Carriage House to check it out for a potential venue for a party. We were all very happy with our entrees. The food was top notch. We also really liked the rustic atmosphere, but unfortunately, we found out that they are doing renovations and going for a more modern look. If it wasn't for the modern renovations, we would have booked our party there. Hope it works out for them, because the food was great.

Our sever was very nice but the food was disgusting. $140 on cold mussels, burnt spinach dip, and a shot of casamigos that tasted like rubbing alcohol. I've been here before and this was definitely a let down.
