    Wonderful first experience, there was 6 of us and so we shared a little bit of everything. I loved the Brussel Sprouts and the crab bisque. The hubs loved the burnt ends and the carrots. Very tasty and a little rich in flavor so we filled up fast!

    We have visited Carson's many times. In fact we only live about half a mile from the new location at Andover, and although it's very nice we still prefer the downtown location. It just seems more intimate. The service was great and our server Hanna couldn't have been nicer and or have been any more helpful.

    We love OBC kitchen and always try to eat here when we're in Lexington. The food is always fantastic, the service phenomenal, and their selection of bourbon and wines is outstanding. We both had the fried chicken this time, and it did not disappoint! Crispy, tender, with a bit of a bite. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and can't be beat.

    Wonderful meal in Lexington! The southern chicken entree was delicious—I got a side of carrots and Brussels sprouts and both were flavorful and well-cooked. My son got the bolognese and loved it. Strong wine list, too!
