    This was our first visit to this location and we had an absolutely wonderful experience! It started with the warm and friendly greeting when we walked in the door. The server was friendly and efficient and the food was absolutely delicious. It's such a lovely place - cozy and inviting without feeling pretentious. I can't believe we've been missing out. We'll definitely return soon!

    I have Celiac Disease, so going out to eat can oftentimes be a challenge with few to no gluten-free (GF) options and/or uneducated staff. Carson's was absolutely on top of everything from having clearly labeled menu items and educated servers. The servers also had cards that detailed which items were gluten-free as-is and which truly needed modifications. I'm traveling for business and came here with my team, we all had a great evening with delicious food, an absolutely gorgeous atmosphere, and great drinks (cocktails and mocktails). The noise level can vary depending on where you're seated, but it was relatively quiet in my opinion. I will definitely return, the Oscar medallions were amazing.
