K.R. took such good care of us, really refreshing to have such a nice server/good service these days. Went above and beyond, definitely created a couple new regulars. Atmosphere and food was so nice, we were walking by and had no idea the restaurant was tucked back in there!

😔 it’s 2025, please offer a vegetarian option. We were told by the waitress to try the roasted carrots. That is NOT dinner. It’s very disappointing because the last two times I’ve been here there have been multiple vegetarian options for me. But this time, all that was offered to us was salad and carrots.
I love the look of this place! Beautiful, curated touches in a lovely part of town. A solid place to bring out of towners or grab brunch in the area. Minus one star because they were clearly understaffed and not even particularly busy when I visited last Saturday but that’s an easy thing to fix!

Service here was incredible. We had a minor mistake happen on our order, and the staff went above and beyond to make it right. On top of it all, the food was incredible!

I’ve eaten at Carpenter hall since it opened. I use to really like it. They continue to change their menu and many dishes I use to like are no longer on the menu. We had the cheeseburger with fries. Cheeseburger is a little too rich…. Fries aren’t great. We also ordered the black cod. It was probably one of the worst dishes I’ve had in a very long time. It tasted fishy and just not a good dish. It will be awhile before I can get that taste out of my mouth and give it another try!

Carpenter’s Hall was a nice experience with friends. The ambience was great, and our waitress was pleasant. I’d recommend checking it out.
The latte I ordered was a bit pricey and sort of fell flat. Maybe their other coffees are better.
I ordered the Shakshuka, and it was great. The eggs came perfect and it had a good blend of spices. It’s a good twist on the dish with a decent portion size.

Carpenter Hall Restaurant is delicious with great service! Omar was our server, and he was fantastic. We got a salad, chicken sandwich, and kid’s cheeseburger. The weather was nice, and we ate on the patio. It was relaxing and peaceful. Beautiful inside seating and bar area. I highly recommend coming here for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Jake, our chef, knocked it out of the park for our first visit. We tried the Scallion Biscuits, Charred Romaine, Poached Cod, Roasted Lamb, Shishito Peppers, and Pork Belly lettuce wrap. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and a welcome surprise to our palate. Highly recommend. Laura, our server, was engaging, knowledgeable, and a joy. We'll be back for sure.

This restaurant used to be our regular spot for drinks & dinner, because we live close by, the food was consistently good, and we love the atmosphere. The Carpenter Salad and double meat burger were our favorites. Since the ownership has changed, unfortunately so has the food. No more Carpenter Salad and the burger is now one patty with a mediocre bun. Such a loss for the neighborhood!

Definitely disappointing food, service and overall experience. Had to wait about 20+ min past our reservation time to get a table just to sit there for another 15+ until someone came over to us. We had to ask about the special menu as our server didn't go over anything. Most of the food arrived cold to our table and we later realized we weren't even served one our the sides that came with the thanksgiving option we ordered. A few items were pretty good like the butternut squash soup, truffle jus and pumpkin ice cream, but the rest were unremarkable. Not sure if they were short staffed or what because they didn't apologize or communicate that they were experiencing issues. Also we were on the patio and not offered blankets even though it was quite cold but we staff folding up ones given to other diners. Not a great night. Wouldn't recommend.

I want to reiterate that the burger has minimal meet on it now, it was still decent, but its the size of single patty McDonalds burger. But what really bothered me was they switched out the normal pint glass with a smaller glass. The draught beers are advertised as 16 ounces. They are not. I know because I ordered a Lone Star tall boy and the glass would not fit all 16 ounces. Real pet peeve of mine.
