    I’ve heard about CARVE for a while, as it’s a go-to staple for my partner’s family. I finally had my first visit this weekend and unfortunately wasn’t very impressed. Our server was very nice and personable. The restaurant was clean and not very busy, so the vibe was right for late lunch on a weekend. However, the food did not impress me at all. When you first walk in, you’re greeted by a large glass-encased butcher shop behind the hostess stand. The message seems pretty clear: “come here to enjoy a great steak”. With that in mind, I ordered: - APPETIZER: WOOD-FIRED SHRIMP BROCHETTE - MAIN: 14 OZ. CARVE SMOKED SLICED NY STRIP - SIDE: ROASTED GARLIC CAULIFLOWER PUREE The Brochette was well-presented and exactly as described. It didn’t knock my socks off with flavor (possibly because it was room temperature when it was served and anything bacon-wrapped tends to benefit from being served sizzling-hot). The main course is where I was truly disappointed. The first thing I noticed was only one piece of the strip was still red/pink in the center, and the rest was well done. Fully browned through and through. I was with a large group and didn’t want to be “that person” to slow down the meal so I stuck with it and hoped for the best. The flavor was meh, nothing special about the seasoning or cut itself. It’s honestly the least special steak I’ve ever paid for in my life. The ends were total gristle so I ended up only eating a few slices in the middle. The truffle Merlot sauce was good but not enough to change my mind about the strip. (Also, a well seasoned and properly cooked steak shouldn’t need a sauce in the first place, let alone to “save” it). Not worth $49.50. The cauliflower purée was decent but also arrived room temperature / colder than one would expect. No one at the table raved about their food, or even spoke of it. I suspect everyone was being polite and didn’t want to make a fuss in front of mixed company. Maybe it was on off-day, not sure I’ll try again.

    Way over priced for portions. Not the best steak. Creamed spinach too much cream. Service fair. Waited way too long for everything.

    Only complaint was the time it took to take our order. The server initially was very attentive and brought our dinks right away but we sat there for 30 minutes before she returned to take our lunch order. Once she finally took our order, the food came out hot and timely and the service was good the remainder of the meal.
