Carson's American Bistro: A Culinary Delight in Ann Arbor

First time here. OMG! Food was outstanding. Had a side of asparagus. I mean, who orders asparagus? I mostly just tolerate it but was trying to balance, in my mind, my order of Nashville mac/cheese and chicken. I have never had such wonderful asparagus. Just roasted in butter, garlic, salt and pepper. Tasty, fender and mild! Plus, the wonderful Mac and Cheese. Quiet enough to have conversations. Our server, Jonathon was attentive but nonobtrusive. Great place!

My lady and I stopped in last night for a quiet diner date, and we had a perfectly lovely dinner. It was a bit quieter than normal according to our server, perhaps because of it being Memorial Day weekend. Regardless, the Spinach/Artichoke starter was really good, different than anything you get at the major chain restaurants and honestly one of the best that we have had, freshly cooked tortilla chips too, yummmm. Lady had the Sesame Chili Tuna, it was fantastic, I had the 12 oz Prime Rib which was perfectly cooked. Was hoping for a dessert but alas the appetizer coupled with main course made that a non-option as I really wanted to try the Chocolate Mousse Cake I saw another table enjoying, next time for sure. Special shout out to our server Morgan, you made our evening with your knowledge of the dishes and pleasant conversation, may your future be filled with success, you have earned it.

Wow! What a pleasant surprise! They run a scratch kitchen and it makes a world of difference. The food was amazing. Our server was knowledgeable and made a great recommendation. She knew the dishes well. I will definitely be back if I’m ever in the area again!

Kenneth did a fantastic job with the service. The Bourbon Glazed Cedar Salmon was delicious and the restaurant atmosphere was great for an afternoon meal.

Great place to meet friends. We had calamari, tator tots, brussels sprouts for appetizers and they were very good. The main dishes (beef tenderlion, whitefish, and beef stroganoff) were good but not great. For dessert we shared the cheesecake which was excellent. Service was excellent.

I had the filet mignon and it rivaled the best I have ever eaten. My compliments to the chef!

We celebrated my Daughter’s 30th birthday here and couldn’t be more pleased. The food, Service and Atmosphere are top tier. I highly recommend, the team made our event perfect. Special thanks to Manager Cathrine.

I almost didn't want to make this review because I want to keep Carson's all to myself, but that wouldn't be very fair so here I am. My husband and I love Carson's. We have gone several times and every item has always exceeded expectations and the price point is great for the quality you are receiving. Their customer service is also top tier and I cannot wait to go back! If that's not enough, I am attaching some photos from our latest visit to really seal the deal.
