I was afraid my friend and I would have to decide between Ralph Brennan's and Carthay on our arrival day (RB reservation at 6:45 and the only CC I could get was 4:50), but I persevered and kept checking, and was able to snag a 1:00 lunch the day we leave! I'm so happy. I've actually never eaten at Carthay. I know that, strictly speaking, this isn't really eating AT Carthay, either. But it's something!
