Carriage House is American classics with intercontinental flair. It’s Cheeseburgers and Pomme Pave. It’s Lobster Chiterra and Spam Confit Croquettes. Nothing is too casual, nothing is too sophisticated, and everything is next level good. See our latest menu here.Our building was a Carriage House for police horses in the early 1900s. The Chef's Room to the back door is the original footprint, which over time, has been built outwards to the current street and the facade we know now. The first business to occupy the space was, in fact, a bar in the early 1940s.

Vibes are cozy and upscale. The food was delicious, unfortunately some of the cocktails were a bit off/not to our liking, but the wine choices were fantastic and the waiter was quick to make a swap. The team at Jeans made my birthday party extra special with a champagne toast at the end of the night! Thanks all - can't wait to come back!

Drinks are excellent here. If you're looking for a very attractive bar with great service that you can get something light to eat, then this is a 5-star place! If you're looking for a dinner place, this is not for you - the menu for appetizers is excellent, for sandwiches good, and for entrees lacking.
