    Enjoyed our meal here. Homemade naan, lobster potholes, and the black cod curry all great. Loved the playlist they had going and a nice wine list (and some good bourbons). Recommended.

    We had an amazing time at Carbon Steak and will be going back in the future! The ambiance of the place was upscale and modern. We were there on a Tuesday so it wasn't too busy but still felt lively. Megan our server and the gentleman who I assume is the manager (didn't catch his name) were both outstanding. Attentive without being overbearing. The little extras like the braised rib bite and the vodka with the caviar were excellent touches. The food was incredible. Bone-In Rib Eye was cooked to perfection and so flavorful. The Spicy Radiatori lived up to it's name and was delicious. Cocktails, Wine and dessert were all great and if you like Espresso Martini's get one here!

    First timers on 11/16/24. Everything about our visit was outstanding. The food (I had the Pork Chop and my wife had the Walleye) was perfect. Even the basic side salad was interesting and delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Being a distillery, the cocktails were fabulous. The room was inviting and social and still "private" enough. Will be going back. Been a long time since we've been so pleased.

    Dinner with friends. First time here. Was looking forward to the veal as it was one of my favorites at the old Giovanni’s. Veal Parmesan was every bit as good! Eggplant appetizer was excellent and canola for dessert crispy, creamy and delicious! Everyone enjoyed their meal. Definitely want to come back.
