    Excellent meal. Try to hit every time we are in town. Service was excellent and attentive. Appetizers were excellent. Tuna and the fries were unique and tasty. The bernaise sauce on the fries and the spices were awesome combination. Entree wise everything was great. The scallops and pork belly are a stand out dish

    Very poor service. They did not have a table ready for us on a Thursday at 7:00 P.M. Once a table was ready, they seemed to forget about us and we had to ask several times to be seated. The server had too many tables including a group of ten, so we were largely ignored. It was so bad that we almost got up and left before we ordered.The server only brought some of the drinks and we had to ask for the rest of them when the appetizers arrived. We thought the food was good. However, it wasn’t worth putting up with the poor service. Our impression was that they were so busy that they really didn’t care if we were there or not.

    Fries with lobster and crab were a hit! Fried derby pie bites were a fantastic treat to follow!

    Got seated at our reservation time. Service was good. Food was very good. My only criticism is that it was pretty loud.

    I've dined at Carson's on Main several times and have never had a bad experience. The food and service are always perfection! Solid 10/10. The only suggestion I have is to take the music down a notch; I like the music, it's just a tad too loud. Menu recommendations: Béarnaise Truffle fries with crab, Filet Medallions (Oscar Style), Soft Shell Crab Salad.
