Hello
Aruba
Foodies
My
review
on
Carte
Blanche
DONT
GO!!
I
usually
don’t
post
negative
reviews
for
any
restaurants,
but
this
time
I
decided
to
maybe
save
some
of
you
few
hundred
$$$
Where
do
I
begin?
Carte
Blanche
used
to
be
one
of
my
favorite
chefs
table
experiences,
but
for
the
first
time
in
many
years
it
was
a
huge
disappointment
We
did
not
see
the
chef
prepare
anything,
there
was
not
a
view
of
open
kitchen
as
they
advertise,
in
fact
we
couldn’t
see
much
of
anything.
We
were
seated
in
a
bizarrely
dark
garden
which
completely
negates
the
purpose
of
being
able
to
enjoy
the
food
presentation
of
the
extremely
expensive
meal.
We
were
using
cell
phone
flashlights
to
look
at
our
food.
Again,
bizarre.
And
outrageously
unprofessional
even
though
we
mentioned
that
it’s
very
dark.
Good
thing
they
name
the
dish,
because
I
couldn’t
see
anything
The
dishes
alternated
between
being
underwhelming,
mediocre
and
stunningly
bad.
A
lamb
dish
was
served
completely
raw
and
not
well
trimmed.
Not
a
single
dish
we
remember
that
we
liked.
Maybe
if
the
chef
could
see
what
he
was
plating
he
would
realize
it
wasn’t
serve-able.
He
definitely
had
a
vision
that
a
table
of
shmucks
would
pay
him
$$$.
Let
me
mention
that
I
don’t
know
who
was
cooking,
but
not
the
original
chef
and
owner
Dennis,
and
I
wish
we
knew
that.
We
were
not
as
harsh
as
should
have
been
at
dinner
because
there
were
other
people
and
we
did
not
want
to
cause
a
scene.
Once
the
nausea
of
paying
$400
for
this
“experience
“
somewhat
receded,
we
reached
out
to
the
maìtre
d‘
with
polite
,
but
blunt
and
honest
feedback.
He
didn’t
apologize.
He
didn’t
deny
that
it
was
not
a
chef
experience
or
the
food
was
not
so
good,
he
instead
said
that
“it
looked
like
you
were
having
fun”
I
don’t
know
how
he
saw
anything
there
but
I
told
him
I’m
not
paying
to
make
friends.
He
told
us
to
f….
Ourselves,
that
was
that
