    The weather was great for some outside dining. Our server Giovanna was absolutely terrific. She made our first experience at the Carriage House remarkable.

    We have season tickets to the Paper Mill and always eat at the carriage house before each show. We consistently have a slow server, therefore we make reservations 2 hours before the show starts and we are always running to get to our seats as the lights are blinking for last call. On 10/31/24 our meals were tasty. I ordered the sole. One thing I have to say is everything on the plate was the same color. I didn’t realize there was pearl couscous under the fish because the sauce, fish and couscous was all the same color.

    Our server was cordial and efficient.The food was very good,except my partner didn't think the cheesepie dessert tasted like ricotta.Drinks seemed very high compared with other venues, but we were not rushed and neighboring tables were friendly.

    We love the Carriage House as part of our overall Papermill Playhouse experience! We were sitting by the fireplace and had a nice view outside toward the playhouse. Food is always good and we love the options in the fixed meals and the cocktails were great; our server was helpful and always on top of things. A wonderful experience all around.
