SO DISAPPOINTING!!! Cartwright's was our favorite restaurant for special occasions and just for a nice evening out. Last May we had our daughter's in town and enjoyed the usual fantastic experience. In November we returned looking forward to a wonderful dinner and couldn't believe how bad it was!!! We even asked if there had been a change of ownership, chef etc. but received NO to all our inquiries.
The menu is so unbelievably weird that the Chef must have been high on something when he composed it and tried to put the most unusual combination of ingredients into each and every item! It took us forever to decide what to order!!! I finally had the Turquoise Salad - ok and we shared a ribeye. We specifically asked for unseasoned
steak so the flavor is not disguised. However, when it came we could tell it had been
marinated and covered with black pepper that had been scraped off to satisfy us without recooking the steak. The server said "all their steaks are marinated" --- a bad sign of cheaper cuts!
The service was spotty as the waiter flew by and occasionally stopped by. I noticed an adjoining table of 6 were also as disappointed as we were in the service and the food.
WHAT HAPPENED CARTWRIGHT'S!?!?!?!?! PLEASE GO BACK TO YOUR OLDER WONDERFUL WAYS -- the place was impossible to get into to and now I doubt that's a problem. We know FOR SURE WE WON'T BE RETURNING and friends of ours have said the same thing ----- SO VERY SAD!!!!!
