    Excellent food, service (thanks Noah!), and atmosphere, with two exceptions: we were kept waiting 15 minutes after our reserved time to be seated, and the bar took unusually long for drink orders, 20 minutes for one.

    Always a wonderful experience at Carson’s! We enjoyed the happy hour prices as well (we didn’t even realize this until the bill came). Service and food is continuously excellent.

    Great as usual. Service, food, everyone is very friendly and accommodating. If they could only change the music... You know, classic rock n' stuff like that.

    We had a wonderful Brunch and our server, Alyssa, was helpful and engaging. Carson’s is a relaxing Sunday brunch with friends and a fine way to start the afternoon. The food was delicious and plentiful!
