    Log Haven exceeded my expectations. The menu was exceptional, the atmosphere and service were excellent! It was the perfect backdrop for a wedding proposal. I can’t recommend it enough. Thank you for a very special evening!

    We wrote a 5-star Google review while still enjoying our meal, which is to say Carson Kitchen exceeded our expectations. The Manager, Phil, went above and beyond. Charles, our Server, was on point. We shared dishes. We recommend the Cocoa-Espresso NY Strip (cooked medium rare); Boozy Carrots; Mac & Cheese; and their shredded Brussels Sprouts Caesar. We will return. And I will promote them via my premium car service business website.
