What a disappointment! Went there for Valentine's Day after someone recommended it as one of her favorite restaurants. I checked Yelp first saw the mixed reviews, but gave them the benefit of the doubt when I learned Cartrights former chef was now at Heavens Kaffee. We had reservations and were promptly seated. The waitress was friendly. That's about it for all I have good to say.
We waited for about 20 minutes for our food to arrive after placing our order. They did not bring bread or salads while we waited. Atmosphere was marginally ok. White tablecloths and candles could have been cozy and romantic but the bright overhead lights and soft drinks served in cans spoiled the mood. The food was bland and the presentation was like something you would get in a bad diner. I had the pork schnitzel. It was a beige blob of meat and gravy on top of mashed potatoes with red cabbage on the side. It was bland. I had to add salt which I rarely do just to give it some flavor. My friend had the cuban pulled pork sandwich after the waitress said it was one of her favorite items on the menu. It was mostly bread with hardly any pulled pork in it, and very bland tasting. He hated it. He described it as one of the worst meals he had had in recent memory. There are lots of good restaurants in Cave Creek. This is not one of them
