Carve American Grille - Central Austin

This was our first time trying Carve and we will be coming back. We made reservations for their happy hour and mentioned it was our anniversary. They greeted us with a “happy anniversary” then proceeded to sit us down at a table decorated with rose petals. It was such a nice touch that added to our night. Ambrosio was our server and was super sweet. He checked in on us and just went above and beyond. Thanks for making this a wonderful experience. The restaurant itself is beautiful. I had a mocktail recommended by Ambrosio that was tasty. We were too full from the appetizers to order anything else. My husband loved the Salmon Cakes. Would recommend this place!

Brought my wife to come for a brunch meal while on an anniversary staycation. Staff phenomenal, service outstanding, the vibe and look of the restaurant was great. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, mocktails, and again the stay was amazing and surprised us with a sparkler on my wife's firecracker chicken meal which made us both burst into laughter. To be able to see the chefs precision in prepping the food and all that was amazing.

This place is a culinary grand slam. Great drinks, great food, and amazing atmosphere. Calamari was the best I’ve had and the “Carve” board sampler was off the hook. Everything was cooked to perfection! Great spot for any occasion, formal or casual…they even have a private room for larger gatherings.

I had a great late birthday gathering this past weekend with my wife and kiddos. I didn’t get a chance to capture all our meals, but the Calamari Fritti appetizer was incredible. I wish I had taken a picture of it and the coleslaw that came with it. The food and drinks were great overall. I won’t lie—Perry’s their sister restaurant still has the best steak in Austin with their cowboy ribeye, but Carve’s steak was good too. The service was excellent and quick. It’s a very cozy restaurant, and the staff was exceptionally nice to us.

We had an amazing Christmas Eve dinner at Carve American Grille with my husband and son, and everything was perfect from start to finish. For starters, my husband and I got the Wedge Wheel, which was fresh and flavorful, while my son enjoyed the Chef’s Chicken Soup. We also ordered the Calamari Fritti, which was perfectly crispy and delicious. For our entrées, my son went all out with the Bacon-Wrapped Cherry Smoked Filet paired with a lobster tail—absolutely mouthwatering. My husband savored the Cedar Plank Fired Redfish, and I loved every bite of my perfectly cooked New York Strip and baked oysters. We also shared sides of Sweet Sriracha Brussels Sprouts and Smoked Mac & Cheese, both of which were so flavorful and satisfying. To top it all off, we each indulged in the Fudgy Chocolate Cake for dessert, which was the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. The food, ambiance, and service made for a truly memorable holiday dinner, and we can’t wait to visit again!

My goodness! I was so impressed by this place! I loved every bit. Our meal took a while to come but the manager did awesome making sure we were taken care of in the interim. The FOOD was so good, I enjoyed every bit of it and it honestly made my soul happy. I would recommend this place for sure and will be coming back!

Met friends from out of town and they were pleasantly pleased with the food and atmosphere. Initially thought we were going to have a bad server. She was actually giving us time to catch up. She was wonderful. Checked to ensure everything was fine and even asked her manager if our friend could have the flaming cherries jubilee since she did not eat any of the other desserts. This was my second time and they have yet to disappoint. Always great finding new places that are consistent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
