Field greens salad has a dressing on it that is out of this world. The wine selections are terrific. We loved the open air feel to the outdoors! Staff and servers so warm and welcoming.

Dinner was fabulous at Carte Blanche...the food, service, ambience...everything was top notch! I would highly recommend!

My husband and I were excited to try Carte Blanche for an overdue date night. We coordinated babysitters to watch our children, and were greatly looking forward to our meal. When we spoke with the hostess, she said the previous party was still seated at our table and we had the option to wait or to sit outside (it was 80+ degrees and the sun was strong, and we really just wanted to be indoors while we ate). The bar was incredibly packed, we had no idea how long we would be waiting, and we were never offered the option to order a drink. We were finally seated 25 minutes after our reservation time. We then waited another 15 minutes just for the waitress to come and take our drink order. After all this time, we learned that only the summer menu (mostly bar food) was available, and it would have been nice to have learned this information beforehand. We were hoping for an elevated dining experience for our date night, and the menu was extremely limited, especially considering I am a pescatarian and require a gluten free diet (Celiac). The waitress was pleasant, but we decided to scramble and find a last minute alternative restaurant instead. After this experience we are highly unlikely to return to this restaurant.

It was really hot inside and there was no a/c. We felt extra bad for the staff because they were sweating too. The food was good. I had been there before and the food was amazing - the summer menu was available and its a limited menu which we understand but I didn't know that ahead of the booking (it wasn't on their site) :(.

Service was very good. Food was good but I felt portions could have been a bit larger or maybe have bread for the table at least. I would like to have a few more entree options to choose from. We really liked our cocktails.

A wonderful experience - the service, food and atmosphere was perfect for our summer celebration dinner.

Very nice evening out! We requested an upstairs table by the windows and they accommodated us. Food was delicious and service was great! We will be back!

The food wasn't super flavorful, the brussel sprout appetizer came out warm and not super crispy. The calamari was good. The chicken Milanese was pretty bland but the salad was well dressed and had a tasty dressing.

Nice small place. Good variety of small plates and entrees. Caesar salad and Stuffed Hungarian Peppers were really good. Chocolate Mousse was a bit different, but outstanding.
The overall evening was a very good one and we will most likely return again.However it was unusual for a restaurant of this quality reputation to be out of Halibut and a restaurant staple such as meatballs by 6pm on a Saturday.We did appreciate half credit for the one meal of four that was not prepared as acceptable.

Love the Popovers ...thank you....The specials had a nice variety to complement the written menu. Our request for a downstairs table was honored. Thank you for that also.
Sara
Server was not good. Not attentive. In absolutely no hurry to care for us and she only had 2 tables., we were the 2nd. We had early 5 pm reservation. We waited over an hour for our food! She NEVER returned during this time. My steak did not taste like any BEEF I have ever had. It was honestly disgusting. Warm potato and meat. Been sitting. Chicken parm- meat was super brown. Linguini was not cooked. Tasted terrible. Lemon Risotto- also not barely warm and scallop were chewy. I left 3/4 of my steak. Same for chicken parm. Server should know this was a problem! No boxes. She took so long to come ask how it was we were over it. Also embarrassing to say much when seated next to other table on bench seat so close! Very expensive for horrible meal and no one cared!

Such nice ambiance but the food was just ok for the price. We ordered the calamari and it was mushy and the breading was falling off service was extremely slow and for an app and our meal no dessert took us about two hours. I had the chicken Milanese in the salad on top was really good but the chicken was a bit tough and a little bit thicker than I'm used to for chicken Milanese.

Had a great girls night celebrating our 3 birthdays! One had chicken Milanese - delicious; another Pesto pasta - awesome; and finally Lemon truffle risotto with scallops - mmm! One of my favorite places to dine!
