Carvers Steaks & Chops

If I could do a 4.5 I would. My husband and I have been multiple times over the past year or so and we always have good service and a nice time. I honestly can't figure out why it isn't more busy - except see my comments about the dire need of a refresh.Pros:Service is on-point.Menu items for the meat lovers or pescetarian. Vegetarians - I'm sorry, I didn't pay close attention this time - forgive me - I had lamb on the brain.Price is appropriate for serving and quality.It is a nice local option to the corporation options in the region.Cons:Honestly, Carvers, you are long overdue for a refresh. It is probably a good thing the dining area is dim / dark so you can gloss over the wear and tear. I'll detail more below if you're interested.Do not order a burger in the bar and expect it to come anything but well.Now for more of the details.1. Check the hours. They're local and they don't necessarily keep the later hours that you might find at a larger-owned establishment.2. If you like Lamb. Get the chops! They are perfect every time. I can't speak highly enough about them.3. Steak - they do it right. I don't need all the accoutrement if a steak is good - and friends, it is good here. However, if the fancy swag is your jam they've got plenty of that too.3. Hello French Onion Soup! Do yourself a favor and order it; trust me on this one. The surprise are the fried onions on top. While I didn't need it, they were a fancy addition that I enjoyed after the main attraction. I'd say this French Onion Soup may be my new favorite to Old Bag of Nails (Yes, I like their French Onion soup the best...until now!). 4. If you save room for dessert, they have some nice options - I have enjoyed cheesecake.5. The wine list is varied with some very fancy selections and some reasonably priced too.6. Black napkins. Thank you. Need I say more?The Refresh: Carvers, you're old and it is showing babe; you need a makeover, or a facelift. The carpet is well-worn and is due for a replacement. The booths fabric choices are from the 90s and the art on the walls is there to match. The tables have been well-cared for, but could use a sanding and a new coat of varnish. You've had some ceiling water damage and I'm noticing - keep the lights low. The bar has room for a stage but could overall be arranged in a more cozy aesthetic. Carvers I'm fallin' for you and I'd like you to be around for a while. I think a well-deserved upgrade might be the think that keeps you hanging around for the next 10 or so years!Friends, if you're trying to decide between this and the guy across the street, give Carvers a try. You can hang out with J next time.

A group of 12 were seated as per our reservation and orders were taken for drinks, appetizers.After waiting approximately 2 hours for our meals, we were informed after asking that there was "no bread!"The steaks and my chicken were very good, however, the salads were warm and tasteless.I believe their inability to keep us, at least minimally happy and content during this 2 hour wait is inexcusable and I'd like the management to know this,I won't be back!

Classic steakhouse ambience that is good for celebrating events or getting together with friends and family. Food is always consistent and satisfying. The peppercorn steak sauce is amazing and sirloin is excellent. Service can tend to be slow but everyone is always very pleasant.

Came here for my boyfriend's birthday and we were not disappointed. We easily made a reservation via email and when we arrived we were seated right away. Our server was fantastic! I had the filet mignon with bernaise and it was delicious. My boyfriend had prime rib and he said it was some of the best he has ever had. The chocolate cake for dessert was fantastic! I would definitely come back here again if I find myself in Dayton.

The temperature was adequate where we didn't freeze. It's very dark inside, too dark. What are they trying to cover up? The NY Strip steak was ok but over cooked. Dessert, Crème Brûlée was runny and cold. Very disappointed.

I made a reservation for Valentine's Day online January 30th. Then received an email thanking me for requesting a reservation, BUT they don't accept reservations made online for holidays. Oh no, sorry bout your luck. Place really isn't that great anyway.

Every aspect of our dining experience was absolutely the tops. Ambiance is classic fine dining; the lights are very low giving a romantic and a high class feel. High overhead are small round ceiling lights throwing just enough illumination. The staff are obviously well trained and strongly focused on the customer's satisfaction. This was noted from the hostess through the busboy. We were served by a great pair of waiters, Andrew and Noah. They were well dressed, well groomed, articulate, helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable. They were gentlemanly. We started with the roasted Brie app which was an excellent first course. The warm melty cheese was perfectly accented with a spicy fruit chutney and chopped roasted garlic. It was just the right size for two.We came on a Thursday. First night of prime rib and we both went for it. So tender, so flavorful, it was herb crusted which only added to the taste sensation. I couldn't decide on raw or cream horseradish so I got both. Chose a Ceasar salad which includes on request a generous portion of anchovies, like a Caesar should. And no extra charge. On that subject, prices were definitely reasonable for this quality at a fine steak house. We glimpsed the bar on the way out, looked very appealing. Next time!It's right off the main road with a private parking lot. Nice little outdoor dining area too.Looking forward to another visit.

This is the second time we've frequented Carvers and sat at the bar with the same bartender, Adam. He starts out good, however, as time goes by, he's on his phone, cannot focus on what he should be doing, and can't remember anything that is happening around him. I've sent a review on the restaurants website and nothing has changed. He's absolutely the worst bartender ever, and unfortunately, it reflects the experience at a nice restaurant and it seems as though management isn't concerned as well!

We have eaten there many times and about 10 years ago our service and the food really went downhill so we stopped going so this New Year's Eve I decided to give them another try. They set us down at a table and it was so sticky. We wanted to move.But they were too busy anyways I ordered a ribeye steak, crabcake and mac & cheese the steak was so chewy. I probably spit out a third of it too much gristle and the crabcake. I have better ones from Kroger's. Mac & cheese was decent. And had to send my wedge salad back because they dumped too much balsamic vinegar on it. Service was decent, but honestly too many good steakhouses around that you will get a fabulous steak so I am writing this place off. It was 200 bucks for two people and it was shame if the bill came to 50 bucks for two people. It was too much. And the place just looked dirty. They need to update the place.

Quality of food was just average and how we were treated by the hostess. We had a 5 pm reservation and were told it would be a few minutes. After 20 minutes we ask and was told "oh we're sorry we forgot to seat you".
