    Excellent. Glad we decided to go to Tony’s Lexington before UK game. Bread was great. Beet salad was tasty. Steaks (filets) tender, flavorful, and cook as ordered. Mac and cheese yummy. Service was paced just right. Managers stopped by twice to make sure everything was good. Very positive experience.

    We had a great meal. We ordered a number of small plates and the food was delicious! The bar was a little slow to make our drinks, but we had plenty of time and enjoyed the whole experience.

    Great service. Very large salads. Sushi was interesting. Ruby roll had steak and lobster in it which we’ve never seen. The chili rub accompaniment “sauce” for the steak was a new one too and excellent.

    There is nothing to say except that Carson's is pure perfection! My husband and I took our son out to dinner just to enjoy a night out together. We started with drinks. I ordered the spiced pear daquiri...superb! My son and I shared the 20 oz. ribeye and mac and cheese and my husband ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich. All delicious! The beautiful atmosphere made the evening truly enjoyable! I can't wait to go back!
