"Seriously, this place is close to perfection.\n\nI ate at Carson Kitchen tonight for the 3rd time and it never fails to deliver a great experience. It's a small space, but always busy and active. Lively conversation, but not too loud. There is a great outdoor patio and an upstairs bar. The venue is first-rate.\n\nAs far as food goes, there is nothing on the menu that isn't amazing. I've had the Burnt Ends, Devils Eggs and Gyro Tacos. And I've had the Strip Steak, the Pork Chop and salad. I could elaborate on these items, but words don't do them justice. They are phenomenal.\n\nMac and Cheese....heaven on earth. Olive Oil potatoes....wow. Cauliflower...awesome. Yes, there is a theme here. Nothing has disappointed.\n\nThe staff understands how to run a very busy, popular restaurant. They are friendly, efficient and really helpful. Having trouble with what to order? Just ask someone to help. I'd swear that everyone has worked here for years, because they are familiar with the menu and no one is shy about offering recommendations. They also get along and work as a team, which says a lot about the management team.\n\nFinally, a huge shout-out to Stacy and Michael for making tonight's visit the even better than the last two. I am a local and this is officially my go-to place Downtown!"^^ . "2017-02-12T00:00:00"^^ . "1"^^ . "1"^^ . . . . "4"^^ . "5"^^ .
