    Enjoyed their Thanksgiving dinner menu! I have always had a wonderful experience and meal at Carve. When I saw they were having a Thanksgiving menu special, I made my reservation. Parking wasn’t bad at all. There is a parking garage near by, but also street parking too. This is a residential kind of neighborhood, so it’s pretty quiet. I checked in at the front desk. Since I’m single, they offered open seating at the bar or a table. I chose the bar area. It’s such a beautiful restaurant inside. There is a large glass room where you can see a carver carving up the steaks just as you walk in. The bar is very nice too. High top, marble counter, very large area. Along the outside of the bar are lots of tables and a few TV’s. Outside seating this time of year, is glasses walls with heaters. Otherwise, in the summer months the glass is gone and it’s all open, just gorgeous in the summer. Today it was chilly and windy, so the glass protects you while you’re eating. It is actually pleasant outside with the shelter glass walls. I looked over the cocktail menu while I waited. I decided on the Texas Tiki, which was suggested to me by the bartender. It’s a rum based drink. It was really good. Nice flavor, and not too sweet. For the Thanksgiving menu, you can choose the turkey dinner or the prime rib. I decided on the turkey dinner. I also chose the butternut squash soup. The soup came first and wow, I make butternut squash soup, but it’s never tasted like that! Soup was absolutely flavorful. When my meal came, I was so amazed how much food was on the plate. No way will I ever finish all that food. Turkey was nothing I’ve ever had before. Rich beautiful smoked flavor. Fresh cranberry sauce with a light tart flavor, fresh lightly steamed green beans and rich mashed potatoes and a soft fluffy stuffing. Remember when I said no way will I eat all that food. I did, and it was worth every single bite. I went happily home with a food comma. Service was fabulous too.

    We were very excited to dine here for our Thanksgiving dinner but were sorely disappointed in the service and food. Understandably it was a busy day. The waiter took our order, but the first course, the soup took almost 20 minutes to get to our table. The meal itself was less than tasty, smoked turkey with barbecue sauce as the gravy making the mashed potatoes and stuffing dry and overly seasoned. The green beans were undercooked and hard. I never got a water refill on my hot tea nor did the waiter check on us during the long waiting period. I nearly $200 meal for three people should’ve had both quality food and attentive service. We will not be dining here again.

    Enjoyed my time at Carve with my good buddies on Thanksgiving. Service was great but food was cold. Ordered the turkey dinner and a great tasting cocktail. Everything on my plate was at room temperature. Kinda off putting eating cold masked potatoes and dressing.

    Carve provided excellent customer service especially with the day being Thanksgiving. The staff was very efficient and had your food and drinks order out in a timely manner with no delays. The food was fresh and will definitely be back.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Carve American Grille in Austin, Texas, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The highlight of the meal was absolutely the scallop pasta—an exceptional dish that truly stood out. The scallops were perfectly seared, tender, and paired beautifully with a rich, flavorful pasta that was cooked to perfection. The balance of flavors, along with a touch of freshness from the herbs and vegetables, made each bite a delightful experience. What truly made our evening special, however, was the outstanding service. Our server went above and beyond to make sure we felt taken care of, especially making the birthday guest feel like royalty. She was attentive, warm, and thoughtful, ensuring that the celebration went smoothly and that every need was met with a smile. From the personalized touches to her impeccable attention to detail, her service elevated the entire dining experience. Overall, Carve American Grille delivered an amazing meal paired with exceptional hospitality. It's a place I’d highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy fantastic food and outstanding service in Austin!

    The booths are problematic for more than 3 people. Too long for conversation between people at the ends (no one sits on the wide front side). By the kitchen is worse due to noise. Ask for a 4 top away from the kitchen. We have not eaten in the room to the left, and perhaps that is better.
