The food was delicious, we started with deviled eggs, yum! I had the gyro tacos which were great, very tasty and the ladies had the grilled chicken sandwich with tater tots which had a little spice to them, just right. We sat outside which is a really nice space on a comfortable evening. Service was excellent with a smile. The prices were a little on the high side but the ol saying “you get what you pay for” applies here. Would definitely go back if in the area again.

La cuisine y est très bonne, pour un bon rapport qualité prix. Seul bémol, nous avons trouvé qu'il y faisait froid. La climatisation marchait trop fort, mais les autres clients ne semblaient pas incommodés. Thanks for this very good Meal.

Utterly fantastic, inventive menu leading to one of the best meals of my life. The service is warm, the music is outstanding, and the taste, quality, and construction of the menu exceeds the standards of any other restaurant I've dined at in recent memory. Carson Kitchen manages to push the envelope for what great food can be while keeping the experience entirely unpretentious and delightful to all. This is a special establishment with soul, and worth the visit for any occasion.

My spouse and I met some friends here and the whole experience was truly exceptional. Jordayn was our server and she was amazing. She was always smiling and attentive but not overwhelming. We started with several appetizers. The tempura green beans were outstanding, as were the devil’s eggs and the pepp on pepp flat bread. But the standout were the crispy chicken skins with smoked honey. They were so good we ordered two! The cocoa-espresso rubbed strip and the chicken thighs were delicious. But my favorite was the short rib steak. Dessert did not disappoint. Both the bourbon fudge brownie and the glazed donut bread pudding were a delight. This is my new favorite spot and will definitely be back.

Every time we visit Las Vegas we make plans to eat at Carson Kitchen. This little restaurant just steps away from Fremont Street never disappoints. I highly recommend the deviled eggs, brussel sprout salad, black risotto, and short rib steak.
