    We had reservations at Carson’s through Open Table and we thought it was the location on Main. We are not from here but had eaten there last year. We did not realize there was more than one location. The restaurant on Main called the Andover location to let them know we were on our way. They were so accommodating and seated us right away. Highly recommend your restaurant. We actually prefer your location.

    We started in the bar, enjoying drinks before the rest of our party arrived. The bar is gorgeous with an extensive selection of bourbon and wines. Our table was ready on  time, and we started with the most delicious ribs for an appetizer. We also ordered pretzels and beer cheese, which were also delicious. For meals, the four of us enjoyed a variety of spicy fillet pasta, smash burger, filet mignon and Seabass. Everything was perfectly cooked.  Although we were stuffed, we decided to order the derby bites with ice cream and the carrot cake. Both were amazing!  We have been to the Carson’s downtown and wanted to try this location. This one would be so much better if they have outdoor seating overlooking the old golf course.  The inside is beautiful however with gorgeous chandeliers everywhere.
