J. Carver's was special. So thank you Andrew! Our wonderful server was Nora who took care of us from start to finish. The cocktails were beautiful and were enjoyed. We had oysters, escargot, steak tartare, crab cakes, garlic bread, and steak. Special steak knives? Fun! We also had several delicious sides and lovely desserts. Everything was outstanding - food, service, atmosphere. We will return.

Really amazing experience! I especially loved the quality and freshness of the oysters. The red snapper ceviche was so fresh and just the perfect combination with citrus, orange and cilantro. The tilefish with garlic butter just melted in your mouth. Amazing! I even loved how they did the salads with very simple olive oil and lemon. Truly amazing foodie experience! Landry did an incredible job serving us! The service, food and dining experience was outstanding!
