I've been looking forward to trying this restaurant ever since we moved to South Bend a couple of years ago, and we finally had the chance last week. With all of the awards it advertises, it had to be good, right? Yikes. We went on a weeknight, and the restaurant was pretty much full. The only hostess was on the... More

Unfortunately for us and potential guests seeking information on our restaurant, we have this false review. We will ask Trip Advisor to remove. Until then, we will post a response to help counter. This negative review was an exact duplicate of a response given to us on Yelp two years ago. We asked Yelp to remove the bogus review then.... More

The Carriage House is the finest restaurant in Michiana (northern Indiana and southwestern Michigan.) The owners have set high standards for every aspect of their establishment -- the grounds and garden are well-tended; the atmosphere is elegant; the quality and presentation of food is superb; the wine selection is unmatched; the team of servers/bartenders/bussers is professional, knowledgeable and exceptional --...

Carriage House continues to be one of the top dining experiences in Northern IN. Portions are generous and I would recommend splitting an entree. The R and R salad is presented very nicley and mixes wonderful flavors of cheese, walnuts and raisins. We also enjoyed the Oysters Rockefeller.

Maureen, James and Mary Reidy and I had another over the top experience at CH. we have eaten here at least twice a year for over 35 years and I can honestly say without exception these were the finest dining experiences we have ever had. When you have Judy, Sabrina and the great food and atmosphere, you have the makings... More

The Carriage House is a lovely place but on this last visit we were disappointed in the food. I ordered the red snapper and it was really fishy and the accompanying sides were not that great either. My asparagus came out on my wife's plate (she had a filet) so we had to swap. Also, the pricing on both the... More

VALUE Thank you for choosing The Carriage House Dining Room last week.  As the Owner I take pride in the high quality of service and product we provide our customers.   After researching your concerns with Chefs and Service Staff, this is what I found. The fish that was served was Red Snapper and was flown in that day.  It... More

I have reviewed the Carriage House several times before and have run out to superlatives. Although my contacts with South Bend reach back to the 1970s, I had not heard of the Carriage House until about 2005. One of my classmates from Notre Dame liked CH so much that she called and made a reservation for my wife and me.... More

Went awhile ago. Tough since I'm a vegetarian to find "great" food. I called ahead and they made a special dish. That was amazing and so accommodating. That alone makes a person love a place.

Best restaurant in South Bend by Far. The service is incedible, the menu and food superb, and the service is way over the top. Went there after the Pitt game with another couple and was blown away. You must go to this restaurant!!! Have gone for probably 5 years and never been disappointed. The Bar is way too cool as... More

Such a lovely place for dinner or a small event! I had the best baked brie cheese appetizer and a good steak. Dessert was so good. The overall atmosphere and service was wonderful - relaxing yet fine dining. Live music - rich decorations. Extensive wine list. Would go back if I were ever in the area again for a ND... More
