In case you only read the beginnings of reviews, 24 Carrot Bistro is the best overall restaurant experience I've had. Simply put, the interior is clean and inviting. The food and service are exceptional. The servings are perfectly proportioned and well plated. 24 Carrot is not inexpensive but in terms of the quality and experience it is a great value.
OK some details. We ordered the: ARUGULA & MANCHEGO salad, PEI Muscles, SEARED SEA SCALLOPS, HUDSON VALLEY DUCK BREAST, Carrot Cake, two martinis, and a Stem Cider. That was too much food. We could have ordered half that amount and been full. But it was my birthday, and we sort of went for it.
Of that total order the real stars were the PEI Muscles, Seared Sea Scallops, and the martini. These were simply some of the best foods I have ever experienced. All of the dishes were outstanding. But these three were in a different world. All the meals were perfectly balanced in terms of seasoning and flavors. Nothing was noticeably too salty although we were a bit thirsty afterwards. The plating was beautiful, and everything came out hot and was timed well.
One thing to note (for us old-ish folks) is that the restaurant was not noisy. Nearly everywhere we go out to eat these days has a very uncomfortable noise level making it hard to communicate. For me this noise destroys the joy of a restaurant experience. 24 Carrot Bistro was not like this. It did have a background noise level, but we were able to communicate across the table easily. The interior and ambience were fantastic.
As mentioned, this isn't a cheap restaurant. This meal was about $125 per person with a generous tip. However, we ordered more food than we really needed. I would think you could eat there easily for $50 - $100 per person with drinks. And I highly recommend that you check this place out.
