| - OMG!! I have you haven't purchased your restaurant.com gift certificate for this place yet, then maybe you just don't deserve to go to this place!!! Hubby and I live about five minutes from this place and we've always wanted to go, but we're cheap, so we always passed it up. Well, we sucked it up because it was my birthday and we decided to go to Carve because we actually have a free hotel night at the Eastside Cannery (review for this place to come!!).
We arrived at 7:15pm even though our reservations were for 7:30pm. We were seated immediately (sorry, I've dined at enough places that if I have to wait more than 10 minutes, then I've waited too long!) Within mere minutes, we were given glasses of water and yummy bread. After not more than a few more minutes, our drink order was taken and given a few minutes to look over the menu. Altogether we ordered:
* 2 sodas
* Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail (Three jumbo mutant size shrimp that Chris
didn't want to share with me!)
* Blue Crab Cakes (Two fat crab cakes that I didn't want to share with
Chris because they were that yummy!)
* House Salad (fresh and crisp, did NOT taste like it came from a bag
from the grocery store!)
* King Cut Prime Rib roast with mashed potatoes (mine - OMG melt
in your mouth, worth the $21.99!!!)
* 16 oz Tuscan Rib eye with baked potato (his - also melt in your
mouth, didn't want to share, didn't need any special sauce because
it was flavorful and cooked JUST RIGHT!!!)
* Broccolini with Garlic (side - I liked it, he's not a broccoli fan)
* Asparagus Hollandaise (side - I loved it great compliment to the
meal)
* 5 layer chocolate cake (his - this could've fed 3 people!! Priced at
$5.99, we at half, then the next day ate the rest!)
* Crème Brulee (mine - custardy and sugary heaven!)
I had to point out what we had because AFTER EVERYTHING (tax, discount and tip) we paid $66 and some change!! Where the heck else can you get this much food (quality food I may add) for this price? Everything was truly divine, the service was great and I'm glad that Chris enjoyed a real steakhouse!!! This place is affordable and I love patronizing restaurants where the staff is warm, friendly and know what real service (not fake like what I sometimes find on the Strip) and be treated as if we were high rollers!
So go...RUN...don't walk to your computer and go to restaurant.com and buy a gift certificate to this place now!! Especially before they change their minds and take it off the website!! Well worth the money the food was so plentiful we ate half of it and took the rest home for wonderful leftovers!!!
