                  We had a wonderful time. The house was completely reserved so we did not have to wait with a crazy amount of of people in the lobby! It was stress free and enjoyable.

                  Carver’s from the host/hostess check-in has a welcoming ambience that sets the expectation of an enjoyable dining experience. Servers who introduce themselves immediately at table side give patrons a sense of feeling relaxed and having their table guests well taken care of throughout the evening. Servers help patrons in ordering food and beverage, so that they are aware of all options from appetizers thru desserts. Servers check back to make certain that patrons food was prepared as ordered. I have never had a bad dining experience at Carver’s.

                  I ordered the 14oz prime rib medium rare plus. It was probably the worst I have ever had. Very hard to cut and very tough to chew, the opposite of what a correctly prepared prime rib should be. Very disappointing.

                  The food was delicious, our server, Katie, was so attentive and friendly, and the ambience is cozy and comfortable. The prime rib was exceptional! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for an upgrade from chain steakhouse options.
