Tips
- The fried biscuits stuffed with white cheddar, bacon, and jalapeño are mandatory
- Want a World of Color package? Those currently run through Wine Country Trattoria and Storytellers Cafe, not Carthay
- Dressier and quieter than anything else in the park - great escape from crowds
- Currently a dinner-only restaurant (check available days); the downstairs lounge is the lighter option
- The Carthay Circle Lounge downstairs takes walk-ins if you miss a reservation
Best for
- Special occasions
- Adults
