We went here with friends who had been here before. Good: - Friendly staff - Chicken skins were great. The smoked honey sauce was excellent. - I got the risotto, it was tasty but would have been better as a side - My partner got the Steak. It was good but a bit small and had no side. Bad: - The table was very small and cramped. Overall we had a good meal

Amazing flavor Creative menu Mgr very knowledgeable Burgers excellent Crispy green beans yummy

We are out of town-ers so we are not from LV. This is what we ordered: Tempura green beans Gyro Tacos Steelhead Trout Glazed Donut Bread Pudding Bacon Bourbon Ice Cream The restaurant does suggest a family style kind of dinner, and we didn't want to order too much because we can't take it "home". The green beans were great. Like some other reviewers has mentioned the cream cheese is an interesting choice. I, too, would have preferred a dip as you need a utensil to get the cheese on the green beans, but it does work. Gyro tacos are also wonderful. A slight kick but nothing crazy. Steelhead Trout was kind of like a salmon to me, but damn, that yellow curry is kind of the star. So I quickly took the tempura green beans and just started dipping into that curry instead. This is where we kind of went wrong. We were in a bit of a time crunch which the server did not know, but the dessert probably took a good 20 minutes, so we had to just scarf down the ice cream and took the bread pudding to go. The ice cream was tasty. A great way to end the meal. I don't want to rate the bread pudding because really, by the time I ate it, we were in the hotel room 3 hours later because we had to go watch a show. So, it was just OK, but not the restaurant's fault. I think next time, we would just get a side of the ice cream and forgo the bread pudding. Street parking but lively restaurant and very friendly and helpful service. Would recommend!

I went here on my first night in my Vegas trip and I really enjoyed the food here. Centrally located just 1 block south of the main Fremont Street Experience, this place offers a modern minimalistic kitchen ambience featuring new American food. If American restaurants serve these types of food, I will be an avid American food fan, as I am not the biggest fan of burgers and sandwiches. Here, they have some nice small bites as well as a farm & garden section offering inventive dishes. We tried the deviled eggs, black rice and oxtail risotto, and boozy carrots. Reservations can be a bit challenging to get if you dine in the weekends, so I recommend looking about a week in advance to be safe. We settled with the kitchen counter to see all the action, but a lot of the kitchen and preparation is done outside of the main kitchen area. The deviled eggs are pretty delicious - giant eggs with lots of egg yolk filling. The caviar description was a bit misleading as it was not the real caviar, but it does evoke a nice fancy vibe to it. The black rice and oxtail risotto is my favorite dish here. Not the most traditionally aesthetic presentation, but it is so creamy and smooth. The oxtail is very tender and blends in super well with the risotto. The boozy carrots did not have strong boozy flavor but the addition of whiskey softens the carrots yet still emits a nice caramelized and fresh flavor. I normally don't like softer foods but this one was done well. Service could be improved. I can't really take a star off because the food is downright excellent, but it took a while to get the order in, despite a few workers near us that made eye contact. For an American restaurant, that was not really acceptable as American restaurants tend to pride themselves with excellent service.

We stopped in for a New Years Day date night dinner. Really good. Tempura green beans. Yummy. Still unsure what we were supposed to do with the cream cheese. We ate the cream cheese over the course of dinner because it was rich and delicious. We thought it would be soft enough to dip the green beans with. Killer shrimp. Killer taste and texture. Black rice and oxtail rissotto. Full of meat. Smaller serving than expected, but we left the restaurant full. Drinks were awesome! Mixologist was on point. "Just the tip" rye cocktail was super good.

Carson Kitchen is a gem in downtown Las Vegas that combines urban charm with elevated comfort food. It's ideal for foodies or those looking for a casual yet innovative meal in Las Vegas. I highly recommend the Black rice and Oxtail Risotto - it's my personal favorite. Don't forget to pair your meal with craft cocktails made at their full bar separated from the dining area.

The food was great!!! I had the fried chicken skins w/ honey, deviled eggs, chicken sandwich w/ spicy tots, and topped it off with the bread pudding! It was all delicious!! The food came out as soon as it was ready! They are attentive to special orders as they prepped a new sandwich for me (no tomato). The background music went well with the atmosphere. It's a whole vibe!

This place was the tits. A lil upscale place right off Fremont. Some friends an I went before a concert and it was perfect. We had reservations so I don't know how easy it'd be to walk in. The place was packed out. We got the chicken skins and honey, deviled eggs with caviar on top, the oxtail risotto, fried pork belly, and bacon jam. Chicken skins seemed weird but that honey was insane. The deviled eggs were tops and the oxtail was one of the best dishes I've ever had. Everything was absolutely stellar. Would definitely recommend for a night out. They even have fun cocktails with silly names. I got to sit by one of their prep stations which was fun watching the kitchen staff kick ass and get dishes out. Don't forget get that oxtail... you're welcome.

An amazing night of eating at Carson Kitchen. This 10-year old restaurant in the Downtown Las Vegas neighborhood is not to be missed. One block off Fremont very near all the action. We started with a very lovely, very fairly priced Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. It matched up with an exquisite Brussel Sprouts caesar salad, infused with bacon and in-house baked croutons. Rich in taste and perfectly dressed. Easy to share. We then progressed to the gyro tacos which were also perfectly seasoned and incredibly filling. The lamb was melt in your mouth prepared. We shared the 3+1 order. A creatively prepared and presented barramundi fish followed. If Barramundi strikes you as too pedestrian, the red pepper walnut romesco and chive oil brought a tasty finish to this traditional white fish. Finally, we split a bread pudding with three rum caramel, vanilla crème anglaise and a side of brown butter bacon ice cream. Each portion was easily sharable. The taste was exquisite and the perfect finish. Ambiance: We arrived for dinner on the early side and enjoyed talking. By the time we left, the place was full and had become energetically loud. Service: Brooke is a delightful and joyful partner in selecting and serving this amazing dinner. Ask for her.
