    Beautiful restaurant with delicious cocktails and food. We both loved our entrees! We were at a table right under a speaker and the music was a bit loud but didn’t ruin the experience necessarily.

    First time in- food was great, service was a little lacking. Atmosphere was nice but a little loud. Would likely return.

    There is nothing to say except that Carson's is pure perfection! My husband and I took our son out to dinner just to enjoy a night out together. We started with drinks. I ordered the spiced pear daquiri...superb! My son and I shared the 20 oz. ribeye and mac and cheese and my husband ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich. All delicious! The beautiful atmosphere made the evening truly enjoyable! I can't wait to go back!
