Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in Carver

This was an anniversary dinner. Service was top notch. Our server was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive without being TOO attentive. We loved her. The restaurant was surprisingly noisy, but thankfully we were given a cozy table away from the main dining area. The food was a little different for us. My husband had the rabbit with mustard sauce, and although he’s enjoyed rabbit before, he thought the mustard sauce was overpowering the delicate taste of the rabbit. I had the butternut squash gnocchi and I savored those tender pillows of deliciousness. We both raved about our favorite part of the meal: the crispy broccoli side (with miso ricotta and pecan chili crunch.) FANTASTIC! Those flavors worked together beautifully. I had two non alcohol drinks. The caramelized pineapple shrub and soda was delightful and refreshing. I also enjoyed the mocktail “making fetch happen.” My husband had Earl Grey tea, and they kept the hot water coming. The experience was pleasant, but not particularly memorable, except for the waitress. She belongs at someplace like The Peak at Hudson Yards in NYC. They need to hang onto their fabulous staff!

Fantastic meal! We had the pate, gnocchi, burger, beignets, and deviled eggs. Everything was delicious. Service was attentive and the environment quiet and relaxing.

Possibly the best meal I’ve had all year. The Ice Ice Baby martini was as cold and delicious as it sounded. The cheesecake was unbelievable- I think it was the honey. And the dinner? Holy Cow. We all tried different things. As hard as it is to pick one thing, I’d say the wild boar ribs and the meatball dishes were the most amazing. I’m told they change the menu frequently; and I can’t wait for the next adventure. Am I overselling this place? I don’t think so. I joined this app just to write this review. Worth it. Oh! The gentleman who waited on us was a delight as well 😀

We celebratedour wedding anniversary with an outstanding dinner last night. The food is always excellent and the service is seamless and professional. We were delighted to have Jill as our server—she was a longtime favorite from Vista Springs and she greeted us cheerfully and was an excellent server. Our corner table seemed quite dark and my husband asked if we could possibly have some candles, and within minutes 2 tealight candles were brought to the table—it made a big difference in the ambiance and we really appreciated the responsiveness. Higgins has been a favorite of ours for 25 years and it has continued to be our first choice for our anniversaries and other special occasions over the years.

It was a magical Christmas Eve dinner. My mom and I were so happy to spend time in the beautiful atmosphere. Our server, Chase was friendly and helpful and we were impressed by Madison, the GM.
