We had reservations for 4 for 7PM last Saturday evening (10/27/01). We arrived right at 7 and were told that it would be "just a few minutes". About 7:20 we asked again and were told that "we were next". We finally were seated at about 7:40. Granted, Saturday is busy. But, it would have been nice to have been told the truth so that we could have gone into the lounge for a drink. Others were still being told "just a few minutes" as we waited.

When we were seated it took about 10 minutes before the waitress came over. About 5-minutes later we ordered. She was very accommodating to some changes. We ordered a bottle of wine at the time. About 10 minutes later our salads arrived. We had to ask for water refills. Our salad was done by the time the wine arrived. Dinner was then served. Great food as always. But, the waitress did not even come by to see how things were. And, again, we had to ask for water. This experience is similar to one a few months ago. Prior to that the service equalled the food quality. It does not seem that is the case now. Maybe the Roseville restaurant market is too good! Hope the service improves as I love the food.    [29 Oct 2001 12:00:06]

Whenever we have guests from out of town that love good steaks, we take them to Carver's. At times the wait is long, as all restaurants in Roseville, but service and atmosphere are 4 star. We've had the filet, NY, and prime rib and all perfectly cooked and seasoned. My favorite salad is the spinach with toasted almonds, cranberries and sliced red apple. Would love the recipe for the honey-mustard dressing, which is just right.    [27 Feb 2002 14:00:03]

After dining at Carver's in Roseville for several years especially at Thanksgiving and other annual special occasions we were much disappointed on 11/28/03. Everything has always been excellent but yesterday (Thanksgiving) was different. Although we were seated promptly the service was poor. The Thanksgiving dinners were very much reduced in quantity over previous years. One of our party even ordered steak, their specialty, and the order was not done properly and had to be returned. Other requests for service were very slow. The wine was brought to the table after the meal was half completed. An additional sauce was requested and delivered with only a single bite of the entree remaining. Too bad to see a fine restaurant going the wrong way but maybe it just wasn't my day.    [28 Nov 2003 12:43:42]

We had dinner at Carver's in July 2004.
The service proved to be disastrous!
The white wine we ordered was brought by a waiter who didn't notice the wine was warm! When I asked him to take it back, he was very unhappy! It took him quite some time to return with the wine. The steak dinners we ordered were nothing special, and some of the food was cold. Our waiter seemed much more comfortable schmoozing with two local customers rather than paying attention to us. Maybe he was worried that he might have to take something else back. In all, this was a restaurant not worth the $140 tab we paid. Roscoe    [20 Nov 2004 21:10:52]

Not on Par with Ruth's Chris, Morton's or the like.
This is NOT the place for special occasions; i.e. popping the question anniversaries and so on. They have a very immature hostess staff to greet you. Don't count on your reservation to be entered correctly. And certainly don't expect to be seated in a timely fashion; a 20 minute wait regardless of your reservation. Servers not much different than those at other famliy style restaurants. Food is on par with the cheaper restaurants down the street, Tahoe Joe's and Outback. Carver's is an average steakhouse in an nice building trying to play like the Big Boys.    [24 Jan 2005 19:10:20]

I have been to Carver's on several occassions and it has been consistently great. It is always my first choice for a romantic dinner with my wife. We always order the rib eye steaks because they are the most tender and flavorful cut of beef we have ever had at a steakhouse. Expect to spend about $35/person (not counting alcoholic drinks)    [16 May 2005 10:52:06]
