Carriage House Jacksonville

Cons: - High prices for the quality - Small portions - Extremely slow bar service - Manager constantly watching over tables and staff - Unpleasant music - Poor house cocktails Overall, our experience was not enjoyable. While the food was tasty, the prices were not justified. The menus were dirty and the service was overly formal. The steak was overpriced but well-cooked, while the beet salad was disappointing. The experience felt overdone and pretentious. If the restaurant simplified its concept and lowered prices, it could be much better. French cuisine doesn't need to be pretentious. We probably wouldn't go back, but the food was still fantastic. Hopefully, the restaurant can improve over time.

Visited on my birthday, the restaurant is built in a old estate and is kind of unique. The lower parking lot was lit up but their walkway up to the restaurant entrance was rather dark because some of their walkway lights were not working, had to be careful!! Menu is limited, but varied enough to allow choices. Food was cooked perfectly, beef was just as ordered, fish was well prepared. Side dishes were quite nice, and everything was excellent! Wine menu was ok, not many choices, but adequate for our needs that particular evening! Desserts were very nicely done, although that evening two of I believe 6 choices were not available. Did not have cocktails, so I cannot comment in those! Being honest here, I believe the prices are a bit to high for the fare being offered. I would return, but would hope their pricing comes down as their occupancy goes up!!

The Carriage House in Jacksonville reminds me of the family run restaurants in France favored by the French truck drivers where some of the best most mouthwatering dishes are served. So delicious! The decor is countrified casual (like in France), so don't expect to see the sleek modernity of Onyx except for the kitchen counter, and don't expect to see faux hipster staff that don't know their pastas from their pate'. The Carriage House staff are warm and welcoming and professional. ????????????????

We recently visited the Carriage House for their brunch, and all three entrees were amazing. The waffles were superb and the omelettes were a savory treat, as were the asparagus and polenta. Brunch at the Carriage House is the best we have enjoyed in the Rogue Valley, and we hope to see this new offering flourish. Thank you, Carriage House, for a wonderful meal and excellent service!

I went to this restaurant on a Wednesday because they do not charge a corkage fee that night. We were informed that this benefit would also be available on Thursdays for the month of February. The food was excellent. I ordered a classic French pepper steak which reminded me of the ones I had at French restaurants in Vientiane, Laos operated by French expats serving French expats, but the quality of the meat was even better. I would recommend this restaurant if you are seeking a relaxed fine dining experience. Enjoy!
