I was pessimistic with all the hype that Carson Kitchen would live up to my expectations, but it far exceeded them! The food is incredible and it comes out of the kitchen much more quickly than I expected. My friend and I shared their "small dishes" that are anything but small. We had the beef tenderloin, crabmeat dip, beet salad, and mac & chese. Every dish was perfectly seasoned to perfection! The service is very attentive and friendly. We had two drinks each and the bill was under $100 total for both of us. Great value, wonderful atmosphere, and great food in a quiet setting off the "tacky" Fremont St. Experience. See the all the tacky crap, but come here to relax and really enjoy your meal!
