    I’m in Lexington visiting with my family. Absolutely a fantastic dining experience! The ambience is incredible. The service, Kayleigh, was incredible as well. Kudos to her. Cocktails were delicious and the food was out of this world. We will definitely return and we would recommend this establishment to everyone and anyone. Just a phenomenal dining experience.

    Our first time at this location and was really impressed with the environment. The food and selection was great too. I recommend the Ahi Tuna for an appetizer, it was the best we've ever had. Our waiter was really good too.

    Your biscuits don't have a good texture or taste, and the gravy was boring. The eggs and bacon were fine.

    If eating brunch, the Bread Pudding French Toast is a must. My husband and I split one of the other delicious brunch options and then have the French toast as our dessert. Carsons is always a delight! Fast service, phenomenal food, and great atmosphere.

    What a wonderful addition to this part of town! It brings all the excellent food, drink, and hospitality of the downtown restaurant to Andover. The design is cozy and warm, with accents from all things quintessentially Kentucky like horses and bourbon. If you’ve eaten downtown, the menu is the same. We came for brunch and split the Vegetarian Scramble and Banana Bread Pudding French Toast. Both are delicious and the portions are huge. I always end up taking something home from here. And you can’t go wrong a Bloody Mary (I always get mine with gin). Staff is wonderfully kind and attentive. The women’s bathrooms are also a trip, being decked out in all things Golden Girls.
