    Steelhead and asparagus both cooked to perfection

    If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Let's start with the service. Absolutely amazing. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Owner Carson and Jolie actually walk around and talk to people. As for the ambiance, you could tell how much care they put into every detail. It's a very warm and inviting space. Even the restroom is beautifully decorated. The table had marbles with questions on them as conversation starters. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed getting to know each other. So much effort was put into this place. Last and certainly NOT least, the food. I'm originally from NYC. I have had amazing food. Let me tell you, this is up there as some of the best food I've ever had. Everything seasoned and cooked to perfection. Even the soup and salad were amazing. Then came dessert. Jolie makes those. THE best crème brûlée I've ever had in my life. And I've had a lot. It was so good I forgot to take a photo. I wish I didn't live 7 hours away. Otherwise I'd be a frequent customer.

    Food was amazing!! Since we don't go to Twisted Cork anymore, this is definitely going to be our new go to for delicious meals! We ordered the Tamari Beef Tenderloins, ( every bite was tantalizing ) appetizer, the Sous vide Chicken Breast, and the Steelhead. What a delightful meal, every bit was just delightful! Great job Carson's Bistro!

    Did a quick trip to Grants pass just to get out of nor cal for my bday. I usually like a birthday…read moreribeye and The Twisted Cork did not disappoint. I've lived in many major cities and have been cooking for almost 40 years. I didn't arrive with high expectations but the steak was perfect as was our app (The Kahlua Shrimp.) The husband enjoyed his polenta lasagna as well. He's extremely picky so I was surprised to hear it hahaha. The server was super friendly and fun and the chef also checked in on us and was equally as cool. A lot of Yelp reviews seem to just be people with unrealistic expectations so I take it with a grain of salt. I don't typically leave reviews on account of that but I like to give credit where credit is due. I definitely plan to come back next time we are in town! Thanks to everyone for a great 43rd bday!! :)

Very personable and engaging and also give us enough time to visit with each other. The menu is really nice lots of depending on your appetite And of course it goes without saying they have a terrific wine selection. I was very pleased with my food. I had the Cod sandwich with poblano soup. The soup was delicious, the sandwiches very good too. We had a flatbread as an appetizer and everyone seems to really enjoy that. One person at our table wasn't real thrilled with their selection, but they never said anything to the server I looked at the other foods as they were being served, and they all looked really tasty I would come back 4.26

The cashier was nice and had good energy. I ordered a burger and my husband got the spicy chicken sandwich. The burger was pretty good, just a standard smash patty with a potato bun. The fries were pretty good as well. I will say the house made ranch was a little bland. The chicken sandwich was good as well. Nice crisp to the patty and good spice.

There's a cool wood-fired oven for pizza, which was a fun process to watch. I ordered the patty melt, which is something I never order, but I was in a rush to decide & did one of those, "I'll have what he's having" things when my husband ordered his patty melt. We're big seltzer water people, so when we went to order a seltzer and the lady told us it was free and self-serve, I was elated. The food didn't take very long & it was tasty looking! The sandwich was cut in half with smashed burger meat overflowing past the bread. It was glorious. The part of the plate that wasn't dominated by melty goodness was filled with with well-seasoned and crisp homemade fries. I could smell how delicious everything was the moment the moment the plate was set down in front of me. Flavor & texture of all the things exceeded expectations. The patty melt had layers of crispy fried onions that made for a lovely and tasty first-bite surprise, & continued to bring joy with each subsequent bite. Every there was incredibly nice and friendly. Dining there was so easy and lovely. Would love to come back the next time we pass through!
