This little place is a gem! Great intimate, social friendly space with a lot of charm. The staff is VERY friendly and the menu is simple and comforting with a flare of flavors. We did not have reservations, but were seated right away. Our table was attached to the bar, sat a total of 10 people and was used for couples and singles. A great way to meet and talk with fellow diners if you feel like being social, but still plenty of space if you're not feeling it. We had the Crispy Chicken Skins with roasted honey (a MUST have) to start. For our entrees we chose the Swordfish and NY Strip Steak. The steak was cooked PERFECTLY and the red wine demi sauce added to without overpowering the natural flavor of the meat. The swordfish with lemon, mint & basil was FANTASTIC!! We also had the baked mac & cheese (unsolicited compliments of the house due to the wait time for our entrees). I highly recommend Carson Kitchen and will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu. Bacon Jam, Chicken Thighs and Roasted Beets are on the list for our next visit.
