    Started out with drinks at the bar, all the bartenders weee great. Chef came over and talked to us, telling us about events going on. At Dinner Brandon was our server and he was great, knew the menu and made sure our drinks weee never empty. We had the duck and the pasta with sausage both excellent, chocolate mousse was delicious. Great way to start out before the play.

    Happy with the choices on the pre-fix menu. The appetizers and dinner choice that we selected were delicious. Our server was attentive, courteous and friendly. The reservationist and staff were also courteous and friendly. We were not rushed and were able to enjoy the whole dining experience.

    The food and service are exemplary. I enjoy dining at The Carriage House whenever I go to The Paper Mill Playhouse. The staff is accommodating of allergies and special requests. The chef always comes out to the dining room to ensure that the food was acceptable. It always is.

    Festively Decorated for the Christmas Holidays. Can't be more convenient then to literally be next door to Papermill Playhouse. Service outstanding thanks to Giovanna. Started with Holiday Cocktails - Maple Old Fashioned and White Christmas Martini - Creamy Parsnip and Hazlenut Soup was delicious and perfect start on a chilly night. My wife and I both enjoyed the Braised Short Ribs - melted in your mouth. Capped it all off with an after dinner drink and on to the show. Chef checked in on us and told us about upcoming events in January which we will surely attend.

    Our dining at The Kirby Carriage House was an excellent experience following the matinee of White Christmas at the PaperMill Playhouse. Wonderful themed cocktails and beautifully prepared and plated entrees added to a lovely celebration for us. Our server was first rate, and we look forward to returning soon!

    As always the fiod was delicious. The Parsnip - Hazelnut soup is a culinary masterpiece. Due to it being a sold out show for White Christmas the restaurant was very crowded today for the matinee making the experience more noisy than usual
