    We drove down to Lexington from Cincinnati for a day of Christmas shopping and stopped by Carson’s for brunch. The food was beyond delicious and the restaurant is beautiful. Our waiter, Aidan, was polite, attentive, and gave us great recommendations on menu options. I told my husband I would like to join them again in January for my birthday dinner and we cannot wait! Definitely recommend!

    So I will say we have eaten here multiple times in the past. Today we were celebrating my wife’s Birthday. When we arrived the lobby was full. We were seated within 10 minutes so that wasn’t terrible. Once seated it took awhile for our waitress to take our drink order. When she came to our table we ordered drinks,appetizer, and entree because we felt like it would speed everything up. Well we were wrong. The truffle fries came out fast but they didn’t have much sauce on them and they got cold fast cause where they seated us they had the door open for the outside patio area open. It was freezing the whole time and made our food get cold very fast. We had to keep our coats on the whole time. Then they brought out our salads which were very light on dressing so we had to ask for more but the taste was good. After waiting about 35 more minutes our steaks come out and both were undercooked big time. I ordered medium well and it was medium. My wife ordered medium and it came out rare. I gave my steak to my wife and we took hers to go so we can cook it when we get home. Tip and everything included we spent 170$ and it was not close to worth it. We have eaten here multiple times so we will give them another chance in the future because it’s normally great but today was terrible. If this was our first time here we would never come back. Also the service was really slow and the server was paying attention to the bigger tables way more. I tried to pay her and she kept going to other tables so instead I threw cash on the table and we left. I hope for a Birthday celebration others have better experiences cause this trip was a huge let down!

    Food was great and portion size is perfect! Unfortunately out waitress was not the best. She was slow and seemed put out when she was asked to get our table items. She seemed bothered and forgot to get me a sweet tea twice and I ended up having to ask someone else. Not sure if she was having a bad day or if that is her personality

    The grilled Cesar with blackened shrimp was amazing, as usual the grilled Brie was our appetizer of choice. We also enjoyed the seared tuna and the filet pasta. All solid choices.

    We were seated in the wing off of the great room There was a table of six nearby that were so loud and rowdy ruined  any chance of a peaceful meal. Our waitress was in inattentive, but was friendly when she was there. The great room area was beautiful. Our goat cheese appetizer was really nice. My seafood linguine was very good. My wife had a brunch item with an egg over medium and the egg whites were extremely rubbery.  The whole experience was not what I was expecting based upon my excellent dining at the other Carson‘s location. I cannot recommend Carson‘s at Andover.

    Went for brunch some at the table enjoyed their choice and were pleased. Some choices not as good. So very loud you cannot enjoy visiting with each other. Service was good but slow.
