| - When the occasion calls for an extra special dinner, such as Mother's or Father's Day, or even a birthday, I would suggest Glendale Carvers Steak & Chops, 8172 W. Bell Road, (in front of Best Buy) Glendale, 623-412-0787. Prime rib is the house specialty but they have an extensive and impressive menu. Prices range from $20-$30.
The ambiance is relaxed upscale with plenty of private rooms for those special intimate parties.
To start we nibbled on the Calamari Fritti, lightly fried with sweet red peppers and onion drizzled with ancho chili mayonnaise $9.95. Yummy. Just the right taste to set the appetite on fire. A companion had the French Onion Soup au Gratin $5.00 which I sampled and enjoyed the deep rich flavor without being salty as many onion soups can be.
I especially enjoyed the Filet Mignon Carver's Cut $26, their most tender cut, with Sherried Mushrooms $5.00. The Filet is served with salad and potato. From the wide range of choices I selected the spinach salad with honey mustard dressing that was to die for delicious. You have your choice of garlic, au gratin, baked or French fries for the potato. I took the baked loaded and it was perfection. They also offer rice pilaf or vegetables.
My friend had the Prime Rib Carver's Cut $29. They say it is award winning finest Midwestern beef with a herb crusted slow roasted overnight to ensure the most tender prime rib available. It is wonderful, tender and juicy as it should be.
Another friend felt her whiskey peppercorn steak was smothered with too greasy a sauce. And it was tough. I have never personally had a bad cut at Carver's. I told her to send it back, but she wouldn't and was happy with her potato and salad.
Dessert was the Chocolate Oblivion $6.00 which I hope left me oblivious to the calories. It was enough to share with my dining partner leaving us both satisfied. Coffee to keep me awake after this delicious meal.
I should mention we finished off three bottles of wine between the five of us. A nice list to choose from and our waiter was very good at making recommendations. Their list allows by the glass or bottle and plenty of general wine information. You can view the list online prior to your visit to expedite selections.
They also offer chicken and seafood which I may try on another visit... haw.. the steaks are too good! I would highly recommend Carver's in Glendale to anyone looking for a fine dining experience. The service was exceptional and the food perfection.
