We were sat at the uncomfortable table pictured. We had a reservation for 5. We did not want to sit at that table. We requested a change, which was eventually honored. There were hardly any tables say when we got there and they claimed most of them were reserved. I get it, but I wouldn't go back due to the uncomfortable seating options. We ordered quite a bit of food. I took pictures of everything except the burger. …

This place has turned into our go to restaurant when we are staying on Freemont Street. Service is excellent, drinks are great, and the Food is amazing! We always try and sit on the Kitchen Counter to watch the small but talented kitchen staff work. Price wise i think it's reasonable especially for Vegas. We spent around $100 for four different plates. Highly recommend this place! We ate the Coffee NY Strip, Ki…

Carson Kitchen is a solid spot in downtown Las Vegas with a fun, lively atmosphere and a creative menu. We ordered the tempura green beans, pork belly, gyro tacos, and the potatoes bravas.

The other items were good, just not quite as memorable as the pork belly. Overall it’s a great plac…

The combination of caviar and little bacon chunks is perfection. I almost ordered a 2nd round but wanted to try more dishes. Cut the pork belly pieces in half on the direction of the pickled carrots, this will maximize your enjoyment. Hunter was so welcoming and made…

We have eaten here once before, so we decided to do it again. The food wasn't bad, it just wasn't what we thought it would be. Maybe our expectations were a little high from our first visit. But this time, we ordered the Gyro tacos, Tempera Green beans, Warm Apple Spinach salad, and the Mushroom flatbread. I must say, the best dish out of them all was the Spinach salad. It tasted like an actual apple pie. The gyros t…
