I went here for the first time last Friday! The ambience and food were delicious. The Caesar salad was crisp, dressing was perfect. I got the ribeye cooked medium rare, it was slightly more rare than I preferred, but I could deal with it. The truffle butter on the steak was really good. I also got the smoked Gouda Mac and cheese with pork belly- it was amazing! Probably my favorite part of the meal. Oh wait, no that was hands down the Bourbon Banana Bread pudding, best dessert I’ve ever had! My friend got the filet and shrimp. The good presentations were fabulous. Overall, great experience. I will say the service was the most overwhelming part. Server, didn’t engage much, especially because she asked and was told it was my first time there.
We had a great dinner! Everything was delicious. We got the goat cheese appetizer. It was perfect and so was the bread it came with. Entrees pictured are: the creole chicken and shrimp, seafood linguine, and Salmon Oscar’s style. Everyone loved their meal! I would definitely come back the menu had so many things we wanted to try.
Everything was absolutely perfect. The food was absolutely amazing, my wife had the Salmon Oscar style with Pork Belly Mac n Cheese ( which I ate because she was too full). I had the Sweet and Spicy Ribs with the Parmesan Garlic Potato Chips both were amazing. Our server was top notch no detail went unnoticed our glasses were always full and any need or requests were taken care of immediately.
Second time visit. Recommend making reservations. We had the cheese pretzels as an appetizer to kick things off followed by chicken parmesan with pesto and the Bourbon steak. Everything was prepared and presented perfectly. Service started out well, but as the evening moved along we saw less of our server. 30 minutes to get desert, and then 20 more for the check. We ordered several gift certificates for gifts but ended up leaving after another 15 min wait. Aug 2025 Back in town and was really looking forward to a Carson, sour and nachos. Or visit today was awesome and I would like to thank Meg for some awesome service. The roasted red pepper soup was delicious.
From the service to the atmosphere to the food, Carson’s at Andover is a MUST try. We had such a great experience here that we booked a second visit a few days later before we had to fly home. Every single thing we ate was delicious and well prepared, and the service was top notch. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend that everyone needs to stop by - you won’t be disappointed that you did! If I was a local I would be a regular here it was that good.
