Carson's is among the very top restaurants in all of Southern Oregon. You will probably have to get a reservation days ahead because they almost always booked up. We dined with friends and I had the Brisket. It was incredible. Lean and fork-cut tender. The mushroom starter was a big hit among our group. Their beer and wine selection is from the best breweries and vineyards of Southern Oregon. I topped my meal off with the scrumptious cheesecake. With their outstanding offerings every bite was a delight!
Food was amazing!! Since we don't go to Twisted Cork anymore, this is definitely going to be our new go to for delicious meals! We ordered the Tamari Beef Tenderloins, ( every bite was tantalizing ) appetizer, the Sous vide Chicken Breast, and the Steelhead. What a delightful meal, every bit was just delightful! Great job Carson's Bistro!
If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Let's start with the service. Absolutely amazing. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Owner Carson and Jolie actually walk around and talk to people. As for the ambiance, you could tell how much care they put into every detail. It's a very warm and inviting space. Even the restroom is beautifully decorated. The table had marbles with questions on them as conversation starters. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed getting to know each other. So much effort was put into this place. Last and certainly NOT least, the food. I'm originally from NYC. I have had amazing food. Let me tell you, this is up there as some of the best food I've ever had. Everything seasoned and cooked to perfection. Even the soup and salad were amazing. Then came dessert. Jolie makes those. THE best crème brûlée I've ever had in my life. And I've had a lot. It was so good I forgot to take a photo. I wish I didn't live 7 hours away. Otherwise I'd be a frequent customer.
The food was AMAZING! Such a quaint atmosphere with amazing staff. Our dinner was amazing and we will be back.. presentation of the food was beautiful!
Amazing service and some of the best food I've ever had!!! They have a fun game you can play too!! Highly recommend!! My husband and I come here every year on our anniversary
First time visit. The wait staff was super. The food was the best. The desserts were amazing. We will be back. This is THE dining place in Grants Pass. Make sure to get a reservation days in advance. The decorations and ambiance is something you would never expect from the outside. It is so cute inside. And the tables for the most part are partitioned by soft hanging material. The Moscato was from Italy. Very nice. 16 oz ribeye special was cooked perfectly to medium rare. The 2 brisket dinners were totally fork tender and juicy. The chicken 'jambalaya'-like special was very tasty. Cooked to perfection. Desserts we consumed were the peanut butter pie, decadence chocolate torte, flourless chocolate soufflé with ice cream, and the NY cheesecake. All were excellent finishers. We can't wait to go back to Carson's!
Best dinner house in town. Great menu, all pasta house made. Fish cooked perfectly. Quiet( no kids) reservation only,friendly, competent, knowledgeable service. Great wine selection. Carson is very knowledgeable about wines and will gladly make recommendations if asked. No other dinner house in grants pass even comes close.
We booked a celebration with friends for a party of eight. I forgot to count myself and my husband! Carson was gracious enough to let us wedge in two more chairs and as usual, the food and service were impeccable! Now I'll add that it's taken me a while to write this review, because after causing an uproar by crowding the dining room my husband experienced a medical emergency during dinner. Our server remained calm, and brought us a cold towel to assist my husband during this episode. We tried to be as unobtrusive as possible during this event, but I do want to apologize to the other diners and to Carson's staff. My other regret is that we weren't able to finish our meals! Many thanks to all involved. We love this restaurant and will dine here again and again...but we'll wait until we're over our embarrassment!
Cute restaurant, nice location. Customer service was great and food was delicious! Definitely will be back.
We went there for a private food and wine pairing event. It was a wonderful experience, the Food and service was excellent and the ambiance was amazing.
