   The French fries are amazing. And it's relatively not that expensive. Desserts look delish. I wish they had a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting...

   Carnegie's food and offerings are very good. This last time, however, all orders came out wrong, getting them corrected took two or three times. Very nice people, great management and wait staff, but the kitchen was likely overloaded and couldn't get food out properly.

   To me, one of the signs of a good restaurant is if they honor your reservation. We reserved a booth for a 6:00 PM reservation. It was a cold and rainy night and due to a knee injury, I needed to use a cane. When we arrived we were cold, wet and exhausted. To 2 seniors, finally reaching our destination was like winning the lottery. Unfortunately, there was no booth available but they offered us a table nearest the front door. The host said we could wait for a booth but we needed to sit, so we took the table. Unfortunately, because we were near the front door, all the people waiting for tables were standing on top of us. It was not very comfortable. The waitress was very pleasant and sweet. The Greek salad was excellent but the spinach pie was cold. I realize that this is a diner but if you are going to operate a restaurant and accept reservations and the day before,reconfirm the reservation, honor them.

   Upon walking in the host was sure to wish my son a happy birthday, based on the notes I shared on my reservation . I was able to surprise an old friend by being sat in his section. We received wonderful service and the food was AMAZING!! My son loved when the team came out to sing to him and he said it was the best chocolate cupcake he’s ever had! I will be back to visit again. Thanks for making my son’s 14th birthday worth the 4hr bus trip from DC today, I appreciate it more than you know. 10/10 recommend!!

   Mixed experience. No cutlery when food served. No drinks order taken. Food orders came out wrong twice. Hard to get waiters attention despite management being on the floor at the entrance. Food was very good when arrived. Portions size big!

    Excellent service and food. Great for a quick meal before or after a show. Our waiter was so lovely. Prices are great compared to other places and there was even a happy hour. Will definitely go back.
