Jonathan Cartwright

Jonathan Cartwright has been at the White Barn Inn Restaurant since 1994 and has been the Executive Chef since 1996. He was recently appointed Group Chef de Cuisine of the White Barn Inn’s sister hotel group, Grace Hotels, where he has opened a second restaurant, Muse by Jonathan Cartwright in the Vanderbilt Grace hotel in Newport, Rhode Island. Chef Cartwright’s talents are recognized worldwide, where he has earned the distinctive title of Grand Chef Relais and Chateaux, has cooked at the prestigious James Beard House and most recently at the Versailles Palace in France. White Barn Inn Restaurant has had its share of honors, too, receiving hospitality’s highest accolade, a 5-Star rating from Forbes Travel Guide, consecutively from 2006-2012, and AAA’s Five Diamond Award consecutively since 1992 — a record in New England. The restaurant is one of only 12 in the U.S. to share both top honors at once, and Chef Cartwright is one of only 17 Grand Chefs of Relais & Chateaux in the U.S. Originally from Yorkshire, England, Cartwright has been at home in the kitchen since age 15.
