    Too much truffle oil used on the hash brown potatoes and couldn’t eat them because the smell and taste was too strong.

    I always love coming to Carsons for the amazing food, great service and fun ambiance. My only complaint for this particular visit was the table we were seated at. In my opinion it is one of the worst tables in the whole place. A low top table right near the door and host stand. It was for my birthday too so I would have liked to be placed at a better table in the middle of the lively dining room. Obviously it's not anyone's fault but I found the experience to be much less enjoyable than normal because of this. Our server was great and they brought me a beautiful dessert for my birthday so overall it was still a good experience.

    Great food and service; the only frustrating part of the night was the train wreck of a parking lot — frozen gravel lot with potholes everywhere. This is such an amazing place with great atmosphere and food; it’s just so difficult to know much time to allow to find a safe place to leave the car.
