    Our group of six had a lovely lunch with quick and excellent service. Everyone enjoyed their appetizers — gumbo, salads, and crab cake. The entrees were all good from burgers to eggplant Napoleon to redfish. The restaurant had beautiful Christmas decorations, so the whole experience was a highlight of our day.

    The Carriage House never disapoints! The grounds are beautiful, especially at Christmas time, and the food and atmosphere in the restaurant are always excellent. We will continue our family tradition of celebrating the Christmas season with dinner at The Carriage House for years to come.

    Houma’s house is magical at Christmas time! We had a fantastic dinner and enjoyed drinks at the Turtle bar. I had the redfish, and it was some of the best fish I have had in years. It was cooked beautifully and the crabmeat on top was sweet and plentiful. We also had short ribs that were tender and delicious. We all enjoyed the crab cake appetizer as well. Crème Brûlée for dessert was just as good as our meal. Service was on point even when super busy. We can’t wait to go back.

    Our dining experience last night was excellent. The food, service and atmosphere went above and beyond our expectations. I had requested a table for 8 instead of the long one and my request was honored. We have decided that it will be one of our Christmas traditions every year.

    Food and service were close to perfect. However, our table of four was seated in a room with a party of 15. The noise created difficulties for our small party until their party left.
