    We have been going to the Carriage House this season for all our shows at Papermill. It is most convenient, they never rush you. The food was truly outstanding. Great selection, perfectly cooked. Would highly recommend.

    The Carriage House is a warm inviting restaurant. The fireplace provides a toasty welcome on the cold days. The menu selection has a variety of foods and the cocktail choices are unique to the play being presented at Papermill. Brandon, our server, was helpful with our questions on the selections and was very pleasant. I recommend the Carriage House for the convenience to the theater and for the food and ambiance! Cheers!

    Love that we can get a good parking space and just relax throughout dinner as we are on site and don't have to think about getting to the theatre!

    Food never disappoints but variety of choices doesn’t change much from each performance. Wait staff is untrained. Waiters taking orders do not have a system and food runners never know which dish each diner ordered. Dining room could use a facelift and bathrooms need a more thorough cleaning throughout the evening. A bit on the pricey side, but very convenient when seeing a show. Reservations are spread out so as not to rush diners.

    We have eaten here the past two times before a play at Papermill. We have not been disappointed. The menu changes with each play, yet there were a couple of choices that repeated so I have a feeling they have some that are set for the season, which is not a bad thing. The food has been spectacular and I definitely feel the pre-fix price is worth the quality of food we are tasting. Tonight I had the salmon which was cooked perfectly and the sauce was super flavorful, marrying nicely with the salmon. I will say the drinks are a little pricey. They could go down a couple of dollars per drink. That being said, they are tasty as well. The staff both times have been attentive but not overbearing. They have been polite and engage in small talk, jus enough. We can't wait to go back for the next play!
