Wait staff was superlative, and struck the perfect chord between helpful, friendliness without the sometimes hovering overbearingness. We were seated in their upstairs dining area, a quieter and more intimate space with lots of windows allowing sunlight from a gorgeous day to pour in. Our brunch entree selections, maple syrup fried chicken over crispy waffles, and some sort of omelet were decent, though my fried chicken could have been a tad less browned. The omelet was great but a bit bland. Some imaginative sprucing up would have made it wonderful, befitting the superlative ambience provided by Carte Blanche, but then we are rather discerning diners.

Carte Blanche shines with its "delicious food," "exceptional ambiance," and "terrific service." Diners rave about the "amazing brunch" and "flawless service." A varied menu, including favorites like four-cheese ravioli and lobster bucatini, keeps patrons returning. Some concerns with seating and service speed, but overall, a "great dining experience."

All 4 in our party enjoyed calamari appetizer & entrees. Drinks were delicious, but we did get one wrong drink delivered.

It's been many years since we visited Carte Blanche last. This visit was for Mom's Day brunch. On this visit, Carte Blanche did not disappoint. The dining experience was extremely pleasant. Wait staff was superlative, and struck the perfect chord between helpful, friendliness without the sometimes hovering overbearingness. We were seated in their upstairs dining area, a quieter and more intimate space with lots of windows allowing sunlight from a gorgeous day to pour in. Our brunch entree selections, maple syrup fried chicken over crispy waffles, and some sort of omelet were decent, though my fried chicken could have been a tad less browned. The omelet was great but a bit bland. Some imaginative sprucing up would have made it wonderful, befitting the superlative ambience provided by Carte Blanche, but then we are rather discerning diners. Overall it was a great experience for the occasion. We told ourselves we need to come back for dinner sometime soon.

We had a delicious dinner. Our waitress was wonderful, just a little slow at times, possibly because we were on second floor.

Had delicious lobster bucatini and my husband the steak! Popovers always fresh and had a great strawberry butter with them. Wish there was dessert, or maybe we missed that. One of our favorite restaurants!
