I loved my experience here! When I found myself in the Freemont Street area on a Friday night I turned to Yelp for restaurant suggestions. The reviews were spot on. Carson Kitchen is amazing.
We were happy that there was no wait to be seated. This was because we were OK with being seated at one of the communal tables. Even though they are shared tables, you still have your own space and a decent amount of privacy. We were in the back corner of the restaurant which gave us a great view of the fun scene that unfolds in this restaurant.
The server was friendly and informative. She gave us plenty of information without being pushy or rude. When we had questions, she answered them politely. This was very helpful as we weren't sure how much and what to order. She suggested 1-2 plates per person.
We ordered the bacon jam to share, I ordered the tempura green beans and my dining companion ordered the jerk turkey burger.
Food is brought out as it is ready (instead of in a specific order, like a salad or appetizer first).
Everything we tried was phenomenal. The bacon jam was totally unique and totally amazing. A great combination of sweet and savory. It included the bacon jam and some spreadable cheese on top. It is served with bread. The only slight down side is that I did wish it came with more bread, You can order extra for $1 or so. But you can also eat the jam by the spoonful (it is that good). It does take awhile to cool. The green beans were served with a cream cheese/hot pepper spread. The beans had a crispness to them and the amount of breading on them was perfect. I came hungry and was totally satisfied with splitting the bacon jam and eating the green beans. My dining companion had the jerk turkey burger and commented that it was one of the tastiest she's ever had.
An all around wonderful experience.
