The great things I've been hearing...THEY'RE TRUE!
I love that this place is tucked away. It's like a local secret. I went here for a late lunch and was seated immediately. Being only a party of two I'd feel bad taking a large table top so I went for a seat at the bat. Tentative bar service and quick amazing food. We got three appetizers because I really wanted to try a few things off the menu since other local friends were strongly encouraging me to try Carson Kitchen.
Let me start off by saying all the food looks just like the website photos. I love to eat with my eyes so I about fell out of my chair when I saw this delicious food coming toward me. First came the Bacon Jam. The guy that dropped it off suggested we get a piece of the Bree with every bite. It smelt a lot like BBQ sauce but as soon as touched my tongue, I was in love. Not to sweet at all, amazing flavor, and bacon. Nuff said.
Next came the Welington Empanadas. Flakey pastry, amazing flavor, sauce was a little bland but I saw it as more decorative because all the flavor was inside the empanada. Only two per order and only a couple bites. Not a heavy appetizer. I would recommend!
Finally, oh man, the Gyro Tacos. I seriously had to stop a staff that had nothing to do with our service and tell him how good they were. The tzatziki sauce didn't have too much dill in it like more authentic tzatziki WHICH IM TOTALLY OKAY WITH! Preferred in fact. Meat and cheese lay in little pitas that are easy to eat in a couple bites. I would recommend these for sure. Don't let the lamb scare you! Lamb is usually too tough for me unless shaved like in a typical gyro sandwich. The flavor is out of this word. I could seriously go on for days about those "tacos."
Everyone was super friendly, it's so clean, hip and new. Take the time to hit up this spot in Downtown LV!
