    Amazing Valentine's day dinner. We did their special set-menu which was amazing and so affordable (not like many other restaurants) and their regular menu was also available so we ordered even more food, honestly wasn't needed as we were stuffed but it was so good, no regrets!! Thanks for the amazing time Carbon Bar team, the wife loved it.

    The service was very good. My issue was the food. It was not bad, I just didn't like it. The beet salad was just a load of cooked beets on a plate with the odd green, pecan, and orange segment. It was really bland. My husband and I shared it and left three quarters of it uneaten. He loved the pork belly burnt ends but they had big chunks of fat which I did not like. My husband informed me that this is how they are supposed to be, so I guess it was just not my taste. I had the turkey burger and my husband had the beef brisket which we both thought was just okay. Great fries though! Will try another place before coming back here.

    We loved it there only complaint is seafood platter has an odd number for the items. I would have bern better is 6 of each item was given instead of five. (Especially when there is 2 ppl for the experience). However, it was a special night that we will never forget. Ambience was awesone. Food was fantasic. Service was first class. Definately will be back.

    We will be back for Tuesday Half Price Oyster night! Although we had booked to celebrate my husband's birthday, taking up the opportunity to enjoy east coast oysters at an affordable price, was a nice bonus. East coast oysters are the best and the healthiest! They were fresh, delicious and when I asked for extra horseradish and lemon, it appeared at the table in moments. We found the wait staff quite wonderful, and the manager pointed out that our corner banquet was #39 so when we come again, we can ask for that table. The rest of our meal was terrific, and the sparkler on my husband's cheesecake was a nice touch for his birthday. Tuesday was a nice night for us because the restaurant wasn't too noisy and crowded. Loved those oysters!

    Thank you for the great review Gail, I'm so happy that you enjoyed your visit with us! We also have a 1/2 dozen oysters or a full dozen oysters for $15 and $25 every day on our happy hour menu until 6 pm. We look forward to seeing you both again soon at table 39! Kayvan Esmaili General Manager

    Great place to hang out and have a few drinks with co-workers, friends or a date. Amazing bourbon menu, plenty to choose from if you are into that. Great food, drinks and service. Definitely recommend.

    The brisket was perfection. The sauces aren’t needed, the spicing holds up on its own
