| - after 3 visits here, i can safely say that the consistency is spot on and i'm a stickler for consistency, especially if it's consistently delicious!
my first visit here was so spectacular that i told everyone i know about it.
not only was i impressed with the food but also with the service, and the ambiance of the restaurant itself.
it's the type of place that absolutely belongs downtown as it makes you feel as though you're not in vegas anymore.
sure, some may call it hipster, but i personally think it's one of those places that's taking vegas in the right direction.
we need better food culture here and carson kitchen is taking those strides with their amazing offerings.
they take something as simple as a fried green tomato sandwich, and kick it up a notch by adding some lump crab ravigote and baby greens, all between a nicely toasted yet soft torta-style bread.
absolutely delicious.
the roasted cauliflower, another simple dish with the spices and seasonings they use and the proper cooking method, was some of the best i've ever had.
from the perfectly fried chicken skins served with local honey to the o-face donut bread pudding, their menu is all comfort foods with a little twist, something that has kept me coming back for more.
with a smallish menu, i thought i'd be able to sample just about everything by now but with dishes that are just too good to pass up, i end up ordering the same thing every time.
it is my new goal in life to try everything on their menu at least once so, sorry fried green tomato sandwich, as much as it pains me, i'm going to have to pass on you for now.
so the next time you're in the downtown fremont area, stop by carson kitchen and give it a try.
i guarantee you won't regret it.
p.s. my only complaint is that they don't stay open late enough on the weekends. 11pm is too early to close. we usually want to stop in after a show at the smith center but there's not enough time! midnight on the weekends would be awesome!!! =D
