Today was my first visit to Carson Kitchen. The waitstaff was excellent, but the food was just A-OK. As my rating indicates, nothing was terrible but also nothing was truly outstanding. Two of us ordered crispy fried chicken skin, shepherd pie, roasted beets, and wild mushroom flatbread. The fried chicken skin seemed a little on the burnt side of fried. The roasted beets were well seasoned and tasty with crumbled blue cheese but were unevenly cooked with some pieces undercooked and crunchy, and some perfectly cooked. And the mushroom flatbread should be called vegetable flatbread since there were other veggies (asparagus and broccoli) in equal parts to the mushrooms; this overall was a little bland and could use some kind of seasoning, maybe some garlic or spices. I had high hopes based on others' reviews but don't share the enthusiasm after my visit.
