“A very sad place”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I am so sorry to tell you that this restaurant might possibly be the worse restaurant I have ever been to. The atmosphere was nice enough (well, except for the two obnoxious drunks at the table next to ours) but the food was just horrible and expensive to boot! Some of the entrees were not even as advertised. The "Rockfish" was some thin sad generic fillet covered in jarred pesto sauce, the "fillet tips" were chopped stew meat in brown sauce over penne and the scallop dish was so salty with it's overbearing inclusion of Virginia Ham (not pancetta) to make it unfortunately, inedible. The side dishes were straight out of the freezer, warmed over in the steam pan and, the lame attempt at garnish (a chunky slab of red pepper on top of an apple slice given the kiss of death with a spear of rosemary) made the whole meal sad sad sad. The lone decent dish was the crab cake which is their specialty. I had the sense it was the only item that was actually prepared from scratch in the kitchen. Everything else? frozen, jarred, canned yuck. Made a reservation as I thought it would be a busy night; we were one of 3 other tables there all evening. More sadness.

“Carriage House Catering will exceed your expections!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2009

The Carriage House Inn catered my son's wedding on 1 August, 2009 at the Hauser Estate Winery. The catering service was exceptional. They are professional, efficient, and will do whatever it takes to make your event a success. They went beyond the requirements of their catering service to coordinate with the florist and the Hauser Estate Winery to ensure the dinner meal would be spectacular. They were very attentive to all needs. Their service to the guests was perfect. Everything was prepared on site so the meal was fresh. They compensated for the shortfalls of others to ensure the presentation of the meal was on time and delicious.

“A rose of an Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2009

Carriage House Inn was recommended by B&B as nice place for dinner. Food was excellent and well presented. Staff was attentive. The custom of giving each female guest a rose is a nice touch. Menu selection was varied and good value for the amount.

“Emmitsburg”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2003
5
people found this review helpful

Emmitsburg is a small town with an old fashioned Main Street. They barely have street lights and a trip up Main street will take you right back to Pennsylvania in a few minutes. The town has shops (and metered parking) but I didn't get to see the shops. I did get to have dinner at the Carriage House Inn which is a great restaurant with friendly service and excellent food. Emmitsburg is close to Rt. 15 and just a few minutes from Gettysburg, Pa. It's a quaint, quiet town to spend a relaxing weekend in but close enough to activities and tourist sites.

“One of the best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 March 2003

The Carriage House Inn is one of the most consistant and best restaurants in the area. It always serves good quality with a flair. The atmosphere is quaint and relaxed. Last visit featured soft easy listening big band music that made us want to linger. The staff is very friendly and easy to work with with no pushing or aggression of any kind. They don't seem to care how the big chains do it and Thank Goodness! We've gone there for several years and they always come in the same way - wonderfully. We are about to host a dinner there for our friends and we want to provide a well rounded event and we know the Carriage House will provide it. S and G
