                  What a fantastic evening through and through. On Thanksgiving night and they didn’t miss a beat. Food was great, service was even better and just a great way to finish off the holiday! Thank you for the wonderful experience

                  The food and service was great. A little noise. The price was a little high for what you get but it was Thanksgiving. It’s our go to place for Thanksgiving.

                  We had the Thanksgiving Turkey meal. Everything was tasty including turkey, dressing mashed potatoes, and cranberries. The bean side dish was outstanding. I had the French Onion soup, and again outstanding. And a couple of glasses of bubbly added to the enjoyment.

                  We hadn’t been to Carver’s in years and it was always excellent. Unfortunately our Thanksgiving meal was mediocre. The prime rib was chewy and the turkey was dry. Disliked the walnut halves in the dressing. Very average meal for $39!

                  Everything was as good as usual, but they seemed understaffed for the night before Thanksgiving. Our server was so busy that my laser glass of champagne came after everyone had finished their desserts and had to wait for me. Poor timing

                  Our dinning experience was great. From the moment the host took us to our table to the end of our meal everyone was friendly and welcoming. The food was served exactly as we order it and it was delicious. We had the spinach salad, bread, filet mignon and potato au gratin.

                  Had to wait on a Sunday Eve even though we had a reservation. Table I had requested not available but hostess said nothing just seated us elsewhere. Waitress was young and I’m guessing new. She was definitely stressed and it showed . She was not very outgoing or friendly. Didn’t feel welcome at all. My filet was tough and not very flavorful. The au gratin potatoes were VERY dry. This was our actual day of our 45th wedding anniversary and we were also celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday. I was very disappointed in the experience.
