                  This was my first time eating at Carver's. There were four of us celebrating a double birthday in the group. The cocktails were excellent as was the soup and salad. My wife and I enjoyed a perfectly cooked filet mignon served with a fully loaded baked potato. We topped it off with the bread pudding with cream which was excellent as well. The waiter staff was excellent and always available. The interior of the restaurant needs updating, however.

                  From start to finish we had an excellent experience at Car vers. They immediately accommodated our extra person, provide paced and friendly service throughout all courses and to a dish the food was superior. Pricing is reasonable (lower than deserved) and overall the value delivered was excellent. We'll be back.

                  My wife and I celebrated her birthday and our anniversary by dining at Carvers. We have eaten there before and really enjoyed it. We went at 5 PM to take advantage of ordering before 5:15 and resulting reduced price on selected entrees. I had the excellent Clam Chowder and then had the Prime Rib, cooked medium rare and was very tasty. I have the Broccoli as a side, it was cooked properly and tasted wonderful. My wife had the Filet Mignon, medium rare and she loved it. She also loved the garlic mashed potatoes. She also had the Clam Chowder which she enjoyed. For dessert we had Creme Brule (me) and my wife had the Cheesecake. Both were delicious. The service was very good, Chris, our server was very attentive, professional and friendly. We really enjoyed the dinner and the experience. We will definitely be going back!
