    Went for brunch some at the table enjoyed their choice and were pleased. Some choices not as good. So very loud you cannot enjoy visiting with each other. Service was good but slow.

    This was my second lunch experience at Carson's at Andover. The first one was so good I chose to come back with a group to celebrate a friend's retirement. The pre-lunch cocktails at the bar were superb and quick. Our server was attentive and respectful of our time to enjoy drinks, appetizers, and then lunch. The appetizers and lunch choices were enjoyed by all. Carson's was kind enough to allow me to bring an outside dessert for the honoree and our server graciously served them along with plenty of coffee. Beautifully decorated with spacious seating.

    Our party of 4 dined in a large booth adjacent to the bar. I expected it to be noisy but was pleasantly impressed with our ability to carry on a conversation. Our table service was top notch for this type of restaurant although the drinks were increasingly slow from the bar as the evening drew on. Our server was attentive but not pushy as we lingered over dinner. We started with the baked Brie appetizer and practically scraped the plate, it was so good. Three of us ordered the steak frites which was perfect! Small enough not to overwhelm our stomachs but flavorful and filling. The fourth person ordered the hot bacon salad which was a good portion for dinner and fresh and flavorful. We did not order dessert because we were well satisfied. Overall I started off skeptical and was impressed enough that we will return.
