Review of G.W. Carson's Burger Bar

Careful with the salad! We arrived late, 15 minutes before the kitchen closed. We were not the last to arrive for dinner and the bar was full. We ordered quickly, my husband a beer and burger, myself a beer and salad. Beer came out immediately and food quickly followed. I ordered the Arugula Roasted Beet salad and was really looking forward to it. Sadly the chef or salad prep staff gave no consideration to the wilted slimy status of the arugula. I sat in the dimly lit dining room picking out the wilted leaves wiping the slime from my finders hoping it was just a few. Well, it was more that a few and I just kept picking them out until the waiter returned and asked how everything was. At this point I was coming to the realization my entire salad was in bad shape except for the fresh leaves on the top. So maybe the staff gave considerable attention and choose to try to hide the wilted food. Either way, I sent it back and because of the late hour did not opt for a fix. I've ordered many salads from a variety of local restaurants and this experience was appalling. I would never serve wilted greens and I'm bummed GW Carson has staff that does. My husband enjoyed his burger.
