    My boyfriend and I went here for a steak dinner. I did the blackened ribeye and he did the cowboy cut. We ordered too many sides, and they were all so good, the Brussels sprouts in particular. The food was amazing and the service was wonderful.

    We have visited Carson's many times. In fact we only live about half a mile from the new location at Andover, and although it's very nice we still prefer the downtown location. It just seems more intimate. The service was great and our server Hanna couldn't have been nicer and or have been any more helpful.

    The new menu items were fantastic. We were not in a steak mood tonight. My wife had the chicken, which was phenomenal. I had the Strozzapreti Pesto, which was excellent. Can’t wait to go back.

    We love OBC kitchen and always try to eat here when we're in Lexington. The food is always fantastic, the service phenomenal, and their selection of bourbon and wines is outstanding. We both had the fried chicken this time, and it did not disappoint! Crispy, tender, with a bit of a bite. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and can't be beat.
