I had the pleasure of lounging at Carson Beach. As the evening approached, the atmosphere became even more delightful with the sound of beach volleyball games in the background. The view of the old harbor was breathtaking and it was fascinating to observe the numerous airplanes preparing to land at Logan International Airport.

The location looked great, and the majority of the staff were pleasant. However, the food was terrible. I wouldn't eat there again even if someone paid me to. The Penny alvodka with mixed vegetables and sausage and peppers were particularly disappointing. I might consider going back, but only if I could bring my own food.
