We came here with another couple. I was disappointed in my meal. I ordered the tomato boccolini and the tomato was mushy. I did not enjoy it at all. I ordered the grouper special. The sauce was nice but the fish had no flavour. The vegetables were done nicely and the fingerling potatoes. My husband ordered the shrimp cocktail and the shrimp were huge but rubbery. Smaller would have been better. The service was attentive. For what we paid I was very disappointed. Also they didnt have the wine that we wanted so we picked another. I would go somewhere else to try at this price.

We made a last minute decision to celebrate our anniversary dinner . When my wife called to reserve for a very busy Saturday night. nothing available. The manager Franz said let me see what I can do . 10 minutes late he called us back . The had a place for us if we could eat at 5 . We have been here several times, when he guided us upstairs, we knew he set up a table just for us . We really felt speacial. Our server Kelly did a fantastic job serving us as well as other staff. I had an great cocktail (old Fadhion) We shared the giant shrimp cocktail and a ceasar salad. They had no issue setting the salad on 2 plates. My wife had the lobster tail dinner that they created and I had a fantastic duck . A very extensive wine collection is available. Please note this is a very end end restarant with high end food that is always prepared very well. We even took the cornish hen dinner to go. If your looking for a great dinning experience this is the place

The Carriage House was an absolute pleasure to dine in. Impressive dinner menu and wine list. Extraordinary staff who made the entire dining experience even that more special. Beautiful and romantic atmosphere, perfect for any special occasion. The food was phenomenal. Everything was perfectly cooked and flavors were paired wonderfully. There's not one negative point I can give.
We had the pan seared scallops and foie gras for appetizers and for mains 10 oz New York Strip with fries and peppercorn sauce and Pistachio crusted lamb. And for dessert the creme brulee. Everything was spectacular!

We were a family of 6 and sat outside. Previous experience with this facility was good. The service was good. We were out on the patio. The meal was profoundly disappointing. My daughter had the gnocchi and it was bland. My other daughter had the burger and it was cremated and they did actually remove it from the bill as she did not eat any of it. It was asked for with no pink but was burned. There was some poor excuse for wilted vegetable. My chicken was dry and tasteless and despite it floating in some sauce, it was very disappointing. My son had the lamb chops which were done nicely and the other son had the steak which was not very tender but adequate for a diner meal. My wife had the fish and was satisfied. The final bill in the region of $560.00 was many multiples beyond the standard of this meal. I was very disappointed. Not sure if it is worth going back.

I had good experience prior to this visit and had invited my clients. I ordered black cod that apparently was their best seller. It smelled "fishy" in spots when I was eating it. I didn't want to make a fuss in front of my clients. I should have sent it back, as I was up most of the night with upset stomach. I called the next day to explain so no-one else has same experience but the management made no apology. Just kept on saying they had no problem with one of their best selling item on the menu. Never going back and will not be recommending.

First meal out in 18 months. Opted for patio as I was not ready to eat inside. We wore our masks to the table. None of the waiters were wearing masks and if they were, it was under their chin. This is not OK and I will likely not return for a very long time. Too bad as it was been one of my favourite places to dine.
Food was OK but certainly not what it used to be.

My husband and I support our local restaurants by having "TakeAway" once a week. The Carriage Restaurant did not disappoint. The roast beef dinner and chocolate cake for dessert were absolutely delicious! A time was arranged over the phone, we drove up and someone placed our meal in the trunk. Then we rushed home to enjoy with wine and a movie. In this time of self isolation and angst, you provided enjoyment. Thank you!

We visited again The Carriage House,Tthis time on a Monday evening, which turned out to be a very pleasant and quite experience, especially after the hectic Christmas time.
Our choices for dinner this time were French snail ragout, shrimp cocktail with big tiger shrimps and baby arugula salad. All delicious. Followed by grilled Branzino fish and Ostrich special.
Service as usual was smooth and very friendly.
It always is a great pleasure to visit The Carriage House and we will continue to do so for many years to come

Planned a lovely dinner with the family. The server was incredibly rude. Very unapologetic and it ruined our dinner. We spoke with the owner and the bad service continued. We do not want another family to experience similar. Too many other restaurants to go to in the area. We will no longer support this restaurant. Due to this awful experience, we do NOT recommend the Carriage House.

At the door we were greeted warmly. The restaurant offers an excellent wine selection with beautiful displays of wine cabinets throughout the restaurant. The menu has many options. Highly recommend the steaks which are cooked to perfection. This restaurant is great for a formal dinner out. Would definitely return.

Upon entering the building our adult children, who we were hosting for one of their birthdays, were already there. There was another couple mixed into the small vestibule and the manager seemed confused from the get go. He clearly had no idea which of us was hosting and was really strange right from the start. He showed us to our table (not the best spot that's for sure)on the mostly empty second floor so no atmosphere at all.
We sat for too long before we were offered cocktails. We were then told the specials, and how lucky we were that there were 2! Well, upon ordering the Venison and specifying medium rare we were told it was coming out of the kitchen medium tonight the server offered to check with the chef if he could could it med rare. Well, the answer was sorry we are sold out of the Venison. Changed order to rack of lamn and I will get to that. There were 6 of us, we started with oysters-not properly cleaned (shell bits in the oyster and some were still attached to the shell). The fois gras was to die for. It was the best bite of the evening! The bread on the table was also a highlight.
The mains took so long to come out that we went through 2 bottles of wine and it would have been ridiculous to get a third so there was very little left at that point. Totally unnaceptable.
To get to the heart of the matter. The rack of lamb was ordered in place of the "sold out" Venison. It was ordered medium rare. Another main was the duo of duck. Three of us had various weights of tenderloin which appeared to be cooked properly - rare to med rare. The duck was so overcooked the chef should be ashamed. Seriously the confit was fine but the breast was ridiculously overcooked. The lamb was also way overcooked to well done. At first this manager agreed it was well done and then he got defensive and was making sure we were aware there was no way to replace it. Not that we would have given dinner was already well underway and everyone would be finished before it came out. The way he was describing the cooking of the lamb means they either sous vide it to temp and sear it before serving or he has no idea how to cook rack of lamb. So he was going on and on about this when I told him I get it and would he please just stop talking. He wouldn't stop trying to explain why the food was not cooked to our liking and again I asked him to stop as he was interupting the others' dinner. At that point he got adversarial and actually ABUSIVE to me to the point where my adult son and husband were wanting to defend my honour. No, really, this all happened.
Finally he left, without apology as I think he thinks he was right. The server and another of the staff tried to shrug it off and it never really got addressed. While the server was extremely pleasant and enthusiastic about the restaurant nothing could make up for being abused while spending a couple grand on dinner, which we routinely do by the way-this isn't about money. They did refund the lamb and maybe the duck but still the tab was $1600 which would have been fine if not for the abuse by the manager. Upon leaving a private message on OPENTABLE I have not heard from the owner so I guess this is acceptable behaviour. Beware.
Please note this is not a one off complaint review, I have a lot of dining experience and my reviews are honest and objective.

Delicious meal. Great atmosphere. We both had the Chilean sea bass which was a special and strongly recommended by server. I think it was the best I ever had.

The food was amazing, would highly recommend. Food is pricy, but well worth the price. Service was very good as well. Had the venison, it was incredible.

Thank you for THE BEST DINING EXPERIENCE we have had in all of the Greater Toronto Area. Definitely, our top restaurant in Halton region, by far. The exceptional food, top notch quality ingredients, and incredible service we have experienced at The Carriage House, made this family Birthday dinner of 10 guests, just that much more magical. A sincere THANK YOU to Zack, Franz, and Ivan for the exceptional service, and accommodating our family of 10. We had the best Birthday for our family member, thanks to you, and your entire staff, and this beautiful restaurant.
The Food is Michelin Star worthy. Fresh delicious ingredients and the finest meats and seafood, carefully selected, and masterfully prepared by the artists/Chefs in the kitchen. These Master Chefs are truly at the top of their game. Keep up the incredible work! The Ribeye, Oysters, Octopus, and Lamb were all the best I've ever had. Wine and drinks were delicious. The decor, and restaurant setting is truly pristine, warm, welcoming, and elegant.
The best part of it is the incredible service and sincere warm welcome this restaurant and their wonderful staff provide. We had choice of various restaurants all over Toronto and the GTA to pick from, but we are so glad we chose The Carriage House Restaurant in Burlington Ontario. This is our new favourite for family dinners and events. Thank you again sincerely to Zack, Franz, Ivan, and the entire staff at The Carriage House Restaurant in Burlington for making our evening so memorable.
