| - I gotta tell you, I want to like this place so badly I can't think straight. I live right down the street, so having a mid-upscale place to eat and drink within a mile from my house would be great...... Unfortunately, this place just sucks.... I have tried on four separate occasions and it seems to get worse each time.
The best thing I have had at this place is the beef stroganoff however, the last time I had it, it really disagreed with my stomach and my friend had it the same night and it put his stomach in knots as well. Weird. Anyway, I have tried the rib eye on a couple of occasions as well. This is a rib eye you would get at Sizzler. I'm not kidding, thin and tough as can be. I could go on and on about the lousy food I have had here but why? You get the message.
Anyone who gives this place 5 stars should have their Yelp account Yanked as they are costing unsuspecting diners thousands of dollars. For those of you who are looking at this review, I can help you decide whether or not to go here very simply:
If you like Sizzler, you will love this place.
If you like strange sides trying hard to be exotic Top Chef fare that taste strange, you'll love this place.
If you like paying high end restaurant prices for very mediocre food, you'll love this place.
If you want a great meal, great service and atmosphere and you are ready to spend the money, go down to Mastros Ocean Club or even Capital Grille. The only reason to ever go into Cartwrights is that bartender Jan. She is great and makes great drinks.
PS: To Cartwrights,
Why is everyone trying so hard to be creative and innovative? Keep if simple. Serve great cuts of meat, simple sides made with the best ingredients and for gods sake, make sure the servers are good. The rest will take care of itself. Leave the creativity and originality to the James Beard award winners.
