This would easily be five stars if the prices were a little lower or the servings were a little larger. The food and service were faultless. Decor is modern industrial stark yet appealing. \n\nNote, the Carson Kitchen is on the Carson Street side of the building on the corner of 6th and Carson. The restaurant is not well marked, so it helps to know this. \n\nWe went here on the strength of Yelp reviews and did love the food. My son now says forbidden black rice is THE thing for risotto. I had the Wellington empanadas. We shared bites and were impressed with both dishes. We wisely saved room to share the bourbon brownie with brown butter bacon ice cream; the flavors blended exquisitely. \n\nA bit expensive for lunch, but well worth it.
