Glass bottles kept falling out of a fridge next to our table and breaking but the food was so good they could’ve broken one over my head and I would’ve helped them clean it up.

The meats and cuts presentation is impressive. So is the seasoning and taste of the food! It’s got the perfect amount of smoky flavor to it and overall the steaks are cooked to perfection and they’re so good!

We had been wanting to try Carve for a while and it definitely lived up to our expectations. We ordered the shrimp brochette, firework chicken and the scallop pasta special. Everything was delicious. My favorite was our dessert, the flaming lemon bar. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We will be back for sure.

Had dinner with my son and we ordered the Shrimp Brochette as an appetizer. Shrimp was cooked well the bacon wrap had a great smoke/char flavor. He had a 16 NY Strip Carve style (crabmeat & steak butter topping) and it was cooked a perfect medium rare. I had the Redfish and it was flavorful and well cooked. My only issue was the temperature of the fish was slightly above warm. Not a terrible issue. We shared the dessert trio (lemon bar, banana pudding and smore. All of them were outstanding. Highly recommend if you want a great night out.
