Chicago
Reseñas
This was the most fantastic meal me and my spouse have ever had. The atmosphere was intimate and classy with candles lit on every table. The drinks were superb! I can’t say good enough things about the Cedar Plank Salmon covered in soy-garlic glaze! Best salmon of my life. My spouse had the NY Strip and it melted in your mouth. This is a MUST GO when in Chicago!
I think I found my new favorite place! I was greeted warmly at the host stand, and not having been here before they invited me to take a look around. I settled at the bar in the back room overlooking the water and tour boats. I started with a perfect Manhattan and the delicious corn bread, large enough for two and so good I took another home for a friend. Then came the prime rib sandwich, tender and juicy...the best I've ever had! Excellent service, and just lovely decor and setting. Can't wait to take my kids here when they come at Christmas.
I can't say enough about Carson's. The staff, location, and food was all top notched. My steak was cooked to perfection at medium. The char on the top outside and just the right amount of pink in the inside. The portion size was large enough to have leftovers. Their is one improvement - signage. I walked from the Navy Pier to the restaurant and was standing right in front of it but did not know it because the sign was above my head on the building. There was no signage on the door or windows that I saw. I will visit again.
After an amazing ride on the Chicago Architecture Boat Tour, we walked just around the corner to Carson's Prime Steaks & Famous Barbecue. The food was delicious, the service was good, and our server had a great sense of humor. It was nice to find excellent barbecue beef options, and the brisket was incredibly tender. The restaurant has the atmosphere of a sports bar with a touch of class, blended with Chicago history. The walls are filled with photos of famous people who have visited over the years, making it feel like you're dining in a place that's been part of countless Chicago memories. The portions are generous, the food is full of flavor, and the location is perfect—within walking distance of the Chicago River and Navy Pier. Be sure to check out my photos to see the impressive portions and delicious menu items. One thing diners should know is that gratuity is automatically added to the bill. The restaurant says it's clearly posted, printed on the menu, and explained before ordering. However, after reading other reviews, it seems many guests may not realize it until they receive the check. The service style is also a little different from a traditional family restaurant. Your server takes your order, delivers your food, checks in once, and then brings the bill. If that's how the restaurant has chosen to operate, then the automatic gratuity makes sense. If the service is exceptional, you can always leave a little extra. If it isn't perfect, remember that everyone has an off day and the gratuity has already been included. Overall, I would absolutely recommend Carson's. The food is well prepared, the portions are generous, the atmosphere is beautiful, and it's a great stop while exploring downtown Chicago.If you'd like, I can also make it a little more humorous or more "Google review" style to help it get more likes and be marked as helpful.
Had a business party here and it turned out to be such a great experience. The service was genuinely friendly and attentive, which made everyone feel comfortable right away. Every meat portion was generous and cooked really well , everything tasted amazing. Highly recommend the prime ribeye, it was definitely the highlight of the night , juicy, flavorful, and perfectly done. The restaurant itself also has a really nice atmosphere, clean, well-designed, and great for both business gatherings and casual dinners. Overall, a very satisfying experience and I would definitely come back again.
