Turn the mf music down! Great food and drinks but my party and I basically sat in silence while the music BLARED over everything because we could literally not hear each other across the table.

I had the best Mother's Day Brunch the food and service was excellent! I would highly recommend that you go and experience.

Nice little bar and restaurant. The food was okay. If you are looking for a good steak or prime rib, I wouldn't really go here for the price you are paying. Brussel sprouts and sides were good. The beef, not so much. Friendly staff/ establishment. However, for the price I'm paying for a steak, I expected a higher execution.

This was our First time at the Carvery, I Made reservations a week before for Valentines Day. We arrived for our reservation, seated right away in the upper section of the restaurant. They only had a Valentines Prix Fixe available which we knew beforehand. Time to order. We order 2 drinks before ordering our dinner. They're out of French Onion Soup AT 7:45PM which we both wanted so opted for one of their Salads instead. Winter salads arrived and were dry as they had no creamy apple cider and maple vinaigrette dressing. Waiter brought a side of dressing out 15 minutes later after we choked down most...Oh and still No drinks although we noticed people being seated 20 minutes after us receiving their drinks right away at the dining room below. The waiter did keep apologizing for this delay each time he would come up empty handed. 2nd course coming up I had opted for the Prime Rib while my wife went with the Filet (Medium Rare Butterflied) and Lobster tail. Food comes out. Yes, still NO drinks......Prime rib was so so, baked potato was excellent however. The Filet my wife had was charred and very far from medium rare. It was ordered to be butterflied which it wasn't. Just a sad little piece of burnt meat on her plate next to her dry lobster tail. The musicians were great on the other hand this was the only thing this place had going for them besides the baked potato. We finish our dinner an hour later and you guessed it still no drinks as our dessert comes to the table. We just wanted to leave at this point and miraculously the drinks arrived along with the check of course. Such perfect timing as I wanted to cancel the drinks at this point. I don't write many reviews but after spending $248 on a special night for Valentines after seeing this Ad.... "Enjoy a romantic dinner with live music by Chad Bishop, blending jazz and soul into your favorite covers. Make it a night to remember" It was a night we'll always remember that was far from romantic with BAD SERVICE!

Was not impressed. Ended up leaving and going across the street to Kings Fish House. The welcome was a little lackluster. And the service was slow. It didn't look to be crowded. a lot of open tables. Maybe they didn't have enough staff for a Sunday afternoon at 11:45am. Didn't get any food so I can't comment or ratem

Food was good. Some needed a little more seasoning like salt and pepper. Drinks were delicious. They had great live music playing.

My family was struck by a slough of medical issues right before the Holidays and all our cooking plans went out the window. The Carvery was one of the few places that still had email availability for Christmas and we were able to get a full Holiday meal with prime rib and multiple sides on the 23rd and reheat for Christmas Day.

This meal not only saved our Christmas, even being reheated this was easily one of the best Prime Rib roasts I've had in my entire life, a sentiment that was parotted by all at dinner that night. The Au Jushad insane amounts of flavor compared to most restaurants and the horseradish cream sauce was ratiod great for the whole table.

The sides were great with the Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes and Roasted Brussels Sprouts stealing the show.

Even after I caused some confusion with the ordering online and mixed up pickup dates and times the manager called me back directly and helped get everything on track. The focus on making sure our holiday was done right and trying to accommodate our schedules due to all teg complications was not only noticed but appreciated greatly and they've now become a regular spot for our family, both immediate and extended.

The service was excellent, however, the drinks were terrible. The bartender not only made one drink bad he made all the drinks bad except for the soda. As a result, we had no trust in the food and left the restaurant.

The pictures make it look to fancy to what it is. The interior looks like a dinner.
We ordered 2 glasses of bubbles. took 20 minutes to get them, although there were only 4 other tables being served. Food is ok but not ok valued to the price.
We were kicked out immediately after dinner, 60 mins. Why accept reservations at 8:45 pm when the kitchen closes as 21h?

The steak was delightful and I may consider ordering it again. The vegetables could have been prepared a bit better, but they were satisfactory. The dessert was clearly microwaved and not homemade. It tasted like a pre-packaged dessert that was heated in the microwave to make it warm. However, the Manhattan cocktail was absolutely fantastic and the ambiance was pleasant. The customer service was exceptional.

We really enjoyed the brunch. Perfect huevos rancheros and shrimp and grits. (Hard to choose between that and the French toast!) Excellent cocktails. Surprisingly reasonable prices. We'll be back - with friends!
