Carson’s Kitchen, Las Vegas – A Must-Visit Culinary Gem! We had an incredible lunch experience at Carson’s Kitchen in Las Vegas. There were four of us, and we made a reservation for Friday lunch. While it wasn’t entirely necessary as we were the first ones there, it quickly became clear why reservations are a good idea—the dining room is intimate, and watching the open kitchen in action added a unique charm to the experience. We started with a few appetizers, and they set the tone for an unforgettable meal. The crispy chicken skins were a revelation, melting in your mouth with every bite. The bacon jam Havarti is a must-have—rich, flavorful, and unlike anything else we’ve tried. But the standout surprise? The hotdog burnt ends, which were shockingly delicious and an unexpected favorite. For our entrees, we each ordered something different but found ourselves wishing we had shared, given how generous and flavorful the appetizers were. The chicken thighs were tender and juicy, the pot roast dip was unanimously declared a table favorite, the steelhead trout had perfectly crispy skin that was pure perfection, and the short rib steak was rich and satisfying. Carson’s Kitchen nails the balance between approachable comfort food and elevated dining. The flavors were bold, the portions satisfying, and the atmosphere cozy yet vibrant. If you’re in Las Vegas, make this spot a priority—and definitely consider sharing so you can try as much of the menu as possible! We’ll absolutely be back.

The food was delicious! We had the salmon and lobster tail. Though the lobster was expensive it was understandable at market price. The presentation was beautiful and the restaurant was equally so. Highly recommend it if you want a fine dining dinner. Recommend booking a reservation, it gets very busy!

We thoroughly enjoyed everything about The Chart House ! Service was outstanding! We split the chopped salad and each had the cold water lobster tail!! Excellent, perfectly cooked and sweet. Yumm It was served with delicious vegetables that were lightly cooked and perfect! We can’t wait to go back !!

Triple George Grill gets better every time! The atmosphere is inviting, and the staff is incredibly friendly with great attention to detail. The calamari fritti was crispy and flavorful. The bone-in ribeye, broccoli, and mac and cheese were outstanding. Don’t miss the béarnaise sauce—absolutely delicious! Can’t wait to return!
