    Carson’s was 10/10 once again. Food, service, and atmosphere always top tier. We’ll be back again soon! Filet medallions are my go-to.

    We ate at the bar because we were told our table wasn’t ready. We told the host working the desk. He didn’t mark us off since we received an open table notification that we were a “no show” which is incorrect. Hopefully they will update their mistake. Thank you.

    Despite being not busy at all we had probably the least enjoyable experience today at what we consider our favorite spot. Service was extremely poor, items never came, the ones that did weren’t right, and there was no effort to try and fix it. Sadly, this was my wife’s birthday meal and we were left wondering if something had changed.

    Dane was a wonderful server. He was attentive and kind. The food never disappoints. I especially love the Carson's Nachos, buffalo chicken soup, and the Chicken and Waffles. This is my favorite restaurant in Lexington.
