Carson's American Bistro - American restaurant in Ann Arbor - 2000 Commonwealth Blvd, USA

First time to Carsons for an after work dinner. When you first walk in, the smells were fantastic. The service was perfect. Polite and attentive. The beef stroganoff with hime made noodles was the best I've tried. And the whitefish was the crispiest non battered fish ever. Perfectly cooked. Finally, the deserts were so tasty and sweet. It's definitely worth a try!

You would think the prime rib would be the star of the show but it wasn't. You can absolutely tell the ingredients are locally sourced, and the brussels stole the show with the house salad and shrimpies coming in close second. The food is absolutely amazing. If you love olives, the olive butter was to die for. We walked here as it was close to our hotel and our server was amazing. The whole experience was absolutely just special. Monday night date was successful

Nice restaurant. I just had this sweet potato salad and I had the modified which they did a wonderful job of doing exactly what I asked. My only complaint is that the sweet potatoes were slightly undercooked, just a little hard and spots when they should have been completely soft. But other than that everything was fresh and delicious. The service was really nice and the atmosphere was nice

The family decided to try Carson’s to celebrate a birthday with a party of 8. Overall it was a great experience. The service was spot on. No complaints here. We started with the calamari and tuna tostada which were both great. A few of the dinners included the shrimp gnocchi that was overcooked and boring. However, the cedar plank salmon, the ribeye and the parmesan crusted whitefish were all fantastic. Gotta say its solid food overall.

Absolutely love their happy hour at the bar! The food is really good and priced reasonably for the quality. I would choose Carson's over some of the other high end restaurants in town based on that fact alone.

The restaurant was very noisy when we arrived. There was a table of 8 - 10 people that were very loud. We were sat within one booth of them. Made it hard for us to converse with each other and the waitress. The glasses on our table were crusty when we were seated. The waitress did bring us clean ones when my husband asked. I had the roasted sweet potato salad. It was good. The only downside was too long of stems on the kale. My husband had the beef stroganoff. He said it was OK, but there were more mushrooms than beef. He was disappointed it only came with dinner rolls, no side salad, vegetables, or soup. Yes, he could have added those on, but for the price, he opted against it. There were only 3 dessert options. Not the variety from our prior visits. Definitely different than past visits. We don't plan on returning.

Food is solid although a bit uninspired. Would give 5 stars if it wasn't for the 3% "service fee" they started applying.

This restaurant is definitely a four star if not a five-star but the server whose name was Coleman I believe did an outstanding job and should be noted as an asset to the company. We're not from the area so I don't know if we'll be visiting this place frequently, but if we are in the Ann arbor area, we will definitely come and dine again and request Coleman. Atmosphere is great. Food was excellent and the staff who greeted us did a great job as well. All around a great place. Hope other people see this review and visit
