   We showed up, and the place is beautiful, an old farmhouse form the pre-revolutionary war. I think they should have a history on the page. After the front cover, because there is a lot of history of this farmhouse. Also, being a restaurant for over a 100 years. Service The waitress was good, but it took long over a 1/2 hour before we got our drinks, food and all with delicious ambiance excellent.

   First time at this location, but it won’t be the last. Service was superb and friendly. Food was fantastic and plentiful - I only wish I had enough room to have tried a desert. The fact that the noise level was low enough to allow comfortable conversation was a definite plus.

   I had flounder stuffed with crab meat and it was very good. We also had the stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer and was outstanding

   Our group had a reservation for 7 at 5:30. We were seated in the covered patio area. It was uncomfortably cold for the whole group and very loud. We were not able to have a conversation With someone at the other end of the table. Our waitress was very kind but seemed a bit overwhelmed even though there were plenty of staff working. Maybe she is newer and we did not hold this against her but it did affect our experience. The food was ok. Our salads came out at the same time as our meals and lacked dressing or any flavor. Three of us had the French onion soup which was ok but very salty. 4 of us had the stuffed salmon and we all enjoyed that. We would have enjoyed our meals so much more if we were warmer. We were celebrating a birthday and honestly could not wait to leave.

   Overall disappointing. The hostess was outside having a conversation and didn’t follow us into the restaurant so we stood in the foyer for quite some time until she came in to seat us. The restaurant was not at all busy for a Fri afternoon. We were the only table in the dining room and there was a small private party. The server was pleasant, attentive and patient until we made our selections. I ordered a chicken salad sandwich and when I picked it up pink colored, thin, soupy dressing dripped from the bread, likely stained from the dried cranberries but the consistency and the tinge is an indicator that it wasn’t fresh. There was negligible if any chicken in it as well, so my sandwich mainly consisted of diced apples and dried cranberries in a pink soupy liquid, perhaps whatever was left in the bottom of the bowl, with greens and a tomato slice, on toasted marbled rye bread. I never tasted or chewed on a piece of chicken. My friend had a minuscule, thin crab patty on a dry looking pretzel bun and although we didn’t discuss the quality of our meals, the fact there was a lot left on her plate spoke for itself. I have enjoyed the Carriage House in the past but likely will not be returning, which is unfortunate because I was looking forward to their new ownership.

   We had another excellent evening at The Carriage House. Lots of drink choices. We are beer drinkers & we are never disappointed. We appreciate that the food menu has so many choices. I just had a sandwich tonight because I was not very hungry. But I finished my chicken salad because it was so good. My husband loves the shepherd's pie. Dessert was a treat. This restaurant is convenient from Allentown & places south. It is a great halfway spot for us when we meet my cousin who lives closer to Pottstown.
