“We had a party of 10 for a birthday celebration for our 19 year old grandson and granddaughter. First of all, it was raining and we were pleasantly surprised they had complimentary valet service. The restaurant decor was beautiful and it added to the celebration. The choices of sides to go with the steak we ordered were very good and serving a complimentary salad with the steak was appreciated. Our server Matthew and the assistant Michele were exceptional and made the celebration very special. We will go here again.”

“Kailyn was our server. She was very friendly and had a beautiful smile. She made some good suggestions as well! The million dollar potatoes were slightly undercooked for me, but my friend said she preferred them that way lol It was a little chilly inside.”

“Tried the CocoLoco bowl and honestly was one of the best bowls I’ve ever had. The overnight oats addition to the bowl was genius.

The staff were so friendly and helpful and the business was very clean.
I will be back!”

“Petos is a family owned, authentic Greek restaurant with amazing food, and fabulous & enthusiastic service. They always make you feel special every time! 10/10”

“This place is great! Very authentic! I highly recommend it.”

“We love to try new places & tonight was a FANTASTIC MEAL! We were celebrating a birthday. Wonderful parking in crazy tight Carmel, IN. The atmosphere rich, but not intimidating. The seating tables are nicely spaced out. Not over crowded. Our server Oloft ( forgot how to spell his name ) was SPECTACULAR! The menu is very well laid out and the portions are not disappointing! The staff is very friendly and quick to serve & pre bus the table. Our drinks were delicious AND the dessert drinks you have to try! ALL, the food was fresh and just simply delicious. We will visit here again and not just for special occasions! Thank you for a memorable dining experience! Definitely better than Prime 47, better than H! We still love Nylas in Westfield and the Salt in Carmel. Parking was definitely better at Anthony's! See you again soon!”

“Love Monterey in Carmel! Beautiful restaurant, great service, and even better food!”

“We had a great experience here! Despite putting in a large order with no advance notice, the baristas were cheerful and incredibly fast getting it filled! I love the theme of the coffee shop! There were lots of tables and though we didn't try the food, it looked delicious. The food did look pretty pricey for what it was. The drinks were good - just could've been a little sweeter for our tastes. They definitely had fun flavor options and a wide variety of options.”

“When I tell you I love this place. You have no idea I live about 2 hours away and will make a trip JUST to go here and eat. The burgers are fun unique and so appetizing. My mouth waters just looking at the pics. The fries are to DIE FOR! And if you like Garlic Aoli its only like .50 cents if I remember right to add it”

“Truly amazing food with an exec chef in house! Staff is awesome! Beautiful decor in their cozy dining room/bar feels like your eating amongst your friends with their patio offered as well.”

“We had a table of 8 for my grandsons birthday. I had the cheese burger, medium well. Great taste. Cooked to perfection. Someone had the catfish and liked it. This person is very particular about their food and gave it high praise. No complaints from anyone and my son is a chef in his own rights.”

“Our staff at Carmel Eyecare decided to try Nara today for lunch. We have nothing but great things to say! Our take out was fresh and hot. The staff was so friendly and helpful! I'm picky with Habatchi, and this exceeded my expectations. Thank you Nara!!”

“Josephine in Carmel — Vive la French Revolution (of Flavor)! 🇫🇷🥩🍷 We double-dated with my sister and brother-in-law last night at Josephine, where Executive Chef Andrew Popp (of Ambrosia Hospitality Group, owned by Dan and Anna Cage) continues to rewrite the book on French cuisine in Indianapolis—one perfect plate at a time. Let’s start with the steak frites. I’ve had them everywhere from Chicago to Paris, and I’ll say it: these are the best. Crispy, salty perfection paired with a steak so tender it practically whispered, merci. I came for the frites (my favorite), but I’ll be back for the boeuf bourguignon, which appeared as last night’s special. We ordered one for the table “just to taste” — and then promptly considered ordering four more. Julia Child would have wept tears of butter-scented joy. Service? Polished but friendly — like a Parisian waiter who’s actually glad you’re there. Drinks? Excellent. Company? Lovely. Evening? Perfect. Chef Popp, if you’re reading this: consider this my official campaign to make that boeuf bourguignon a permanent resident on your menu. Vive Josephine! #JosephineCarmel #AmbrosiaHospitalityGroup #FrenchCuisine #SteakFrites #BoeufBourguignon #IndyEats #FoodieFinds #BonAppétit”

“Excellent food! Awesome staff! Wonderful atmosphere!”

“Visiting my daughter, I found this JEWEL while searching on Google Maps. With a 4.8 rating, I had to give it a try — and YES, it was absolutely worth the visit!

First, the staff is outstanding. They are friendly, welcoming, and genuinely willing to help you understand the menu and recommend dishes based on what you enjoy.

Second, the food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Every bite tasted like it was made with care and quality ingredients.

Third, the portions and quality make it well worth the price you pay.

In summary, this is a MUST-VISIT place if you are in Carmel. Great atmosphere, amazing food, and excellent customer service. I will definitely be back!”

“The food was very rich, apart from that the attention was great, I asked for a preparation of a rice without onion and it was spectacular, apart from everything they serve in the buffet is delicious, I would only place it Ripe banana”

Christine created a masterpiece with her attention to detail, and her professionalism was extraordinary.”

“Great place to visit any time of day. Every time I come home to Carmel from Colorado I make an effort to stop in. Great place to stop by for remote work during the day during summer months. Great selection of beers and the service is always on point. My most recent visit, Ian went above and beyond to get water for my dog and had great recommendations on top of being attentive.”

“These calzones are HUGE and packed with so much flavor! 12/10 👍🏻”

“Delicious food. I had the barbecoa tacos and the meat was so tender.”

“Great food and great service! 5/5 would highly recommend”

“Looked online to find an authentic French baguette. Sent my husband on a 20 minute drive to buy a loaf. The lady on the phone said that their baker had learned to make the baguettes in France so they were indeed authentic. Husband returned with a $5.00 loaf and when I cut into the very small loaf, it looked like a whole grain piece of bread fom Kroger or Fresh Market. It did not taste like a French loaf nor did it have the texture of a French baguette. So disappointed in the whole experience and will definitely not return for bread!”

“Great atmosphere & food was awesome! 🔥🧡”

“Malcolm was very attentive. I had the ribs they were huge and very tender my wife had the half chicken and it too was tasty highly recommend Top notch sides as well.”

“It was a reasonable price. The philly steak and cheese was good.”

“Love this chicken. Stop here every time I come to visit my sister-in-law and nephew.”

“Traveling from Michigan and came across Upland Brewing. Stopped in for a beer and a quick snack. The Juiced in Time Haze IPA and Two of Tarts sour were both amazing. The staff were great! And the food was tasty, we will definitely be back and highly recommend if you’re in the area.”

“We were in Carmel for the day and decided to check it out. I could eat here every day! The poke bowl was fresh and the perfect portion. The coffee and strawberry mocktail were full of flavor and you can customize the sweetness level. Great customer service. Overall, we can’t wait to go back!”

“I purchased cakes from classic cakes for many many many years when my children were smaller and then into adulthood for birthdays, graduations, and other events. The cakes were always delicious and beautiful however, there is one designer that does not listen to what you ask for. When you tell her, the team colors are red, she made the cake green. When I told her I needed a sculpture of a specific dog and even sent a picture she made it anything but that dog. I realize that a certain amount of artistic license goes into this, but there were at least 10 times when the cakes were not what was ordered, and I didn’t say anything because I needed to pick them up and take them to the event the day that I picked them up and what do you do when the cake is wrong and you need it that day? Everybody said the cakes tasted good so we were fine, but it is disappointing to not get what you ordered.”

“Great Ruben. Loved it. I was in carmel for my son's high-school graduation from Indiana ag an tech. Wife an I had time to kill while waiting on start time. We Came here an really enjoyed it. Amanda was a great server. We are from Columbus Indiana. So it will be a while before we can get back up.”

“I worked directly with Mark to schedule for a swim team Fall celebration. We ran into weather issues and needed to reschedule. Mark went above and beyond to ensure they could be there, and then adapted the menu to account for the cooler weather. His staff is truly amazing! Everything was a hit! We will certainly be contacting them for future events! Thank you for an exceptional experience!”

“Good pour over Good hot cocoa”

“I love this family-owned local restaurant, they have the best cooks and servers around!”

“Great service and the food is consistently excellent”

“The Snickerdoodle coffee was great, broken egg sandwich was perfect! I stopped in on Black Friday and was pleasantly surprised that they were open, a young lady behind the counter even made me a handmade Christmas card! what more could you ask for?”

“Yummy Elk Burgers and sloppy fries!”

“The owners are wonderful caring people. I have dealt with thousands of companies throughout the United States with my business, and they are by far the most dedicated to customer service I have experienced. Although a little bit of a drive, this location is well worth the service you will receive. We have now moved our business to them and will use them only for all future orders and company orders. We will miss them for a couple of months; they will be closed for winter, but we can always buy a couple of gallons to get us through...LOL If you get a chance and are in the Carmel area, stop by and see what I mean when I say, "Rita's Carmel location is all about CUSTOMER SERVICE done right."”

“Really enjoy going to Wild Eggs! Food is awesome. Service was great”

“Yummy lunch drove a little out of my way in route home to Michigan.”

“The food is so good also the desserts and the employees are nice and the decorations are beautiful, if you are looking for a place to eat asian food this is the place”

“The food was very good, healthy, and filling. You get so much food for such a great price! Everything was fresh, I just wish they gave salt and pepper packets. The classic Carol didn’t have much flavor but Sassy Scotty blew me away and rocked my world!”

“Easily one of my favorite pizza places in the Indianapolis area. It’s the dough that really stands out to me, but the toppings and cheese are also fantastic. The employees are always friendly. It’s so nice having a little pizza place so close to my home and heart. My family and I love coming here and I hope people support Tony’s not just because the pizza is delicious, but because it’s important to support the little guy in a sea of chain pizzas restaurants.”

“Cookies are great & very large. I loved all the different varieties of cookies available!”

“The food here is so delicious! Hot and fresh with just the right amount of spice. The yellow curry was so good I might have a difficult time ordering anything else! Wonderful service as well.”

“We have been frequently going to Sunrise for over 25 years! We love it!”

“Can’t say enough about how good the cooking is at this restaurant! I really enjoyed the Shrimp and Grits risotto! And the Pork special was absolutely wonderful. It came with collard greens and a southern style gravy that I don’t know could be so good! Don’t forget to try their wedge salad. It’s a winner. Overall I’m super happy to have this restaurant in Carmel.”

“Vivante Restaurant & Bar was incredible from start to finish.

I had the scallops with risotto, Parmesan, asparagus, mushroom, delicata squash, and apple juniper mostarda, and it was absolutely excellent. The presentation was beautiful, and the flavors worked together perfectly. I also had a great salad and a drink called Marshmallow World. It was strong, unique, and really well done.

The service was top-notch, the atmosphere felt upscale and relaxed, and the whole experience matched the quality of Hotel Carmichael. After dinner, I stepped outside and there was live music on the patio, which made the evening even better.

Highly recommended. I’ll absolutely be going back.”

“Good pizza place, love noble roman’s”

“Came in with a group, we had the upstairs room then told we had to be gone by 7pm We reserved the room at 515. So with that said, servers ok. Food came at 645. Manager told the group that we need to be out by then. 7pm because it was reserved for another group at 7. He told us that the staff didn’t inform him about it. Really kinda not our problem at that time. We were 30+ strong. Kids and all. I walked out at 715. Doesn’t seem right. Not mad but a concern with staff and communication. Food good, service ok, slow at times , restaurant was not totally full. I could see open tables. Yes I would come back, but come on. The manager should have known of the situation and made a plan B the weather was in the 70’s they could have used the courtyard. Ok sorry done.”

“Kara did an awesome job at making my tacos! They were delicious! I will be back.”

“Taylor and Chase are wonderful!!!! They both let me know about the vegan options and talked about real life situations while making my pizza, both had real companion to be so young!!! Both are very sweet and will ho very far in life with whatever thay choose to do. May Hod bless both of them, their families, friends, and loved ones.”

“The food is always excellent! This is the only place that makes my soft scrambled eggs to perfection every single time! The breakfast potatoes are the best as well! Service is over the top exceptional here. The staff are always on top of it.”

“These guys are awesome! We just opened up a few doors down and they have been super friendly and helpful! Food is amazing, coffee is amazing and the service is even better! Thank you guys for being such awesome neighbors! Keep up the hardwork. One day it will pay off!”

“Love them so much because the matcha lattes are so darn good here! Most likely the best matcha in Indiana in my opinion. I live downtown Indianapolis but make it a point to visit every time I’m in Carmel. Please trust me on this because I am from Los Angeles and I love Community Goods and this is the most comparable to the matcha lattes I’ve had in LA AND Miami. The Tiramisu Matcha Latte was so so good! I also tried strawberry and it was delicious. 🍓 🍵”

“I love trying the different flavors. Some of my favorites are the Key lime Cookie, the S’mores cookie, and recently the thin Thursday chocolate chip cookies. I could eat 6 of those!”

“It’s exactly the way I’ve always dreamed of a local place. Traci, the owner, comes by and recommends a drink. She tells you the story of the musician that is playing tonight. Her husband, Brian, is behind the bar and pouring himself another wine. He doesn’t want to chat like Traci does, but he is fussing over the food menu. Making sure it is perfect. Helping the musician make sure the sound is right. People keep bustling in and out from the neighborhood. You recognize them, clasp their hand and act like you remember their name. You will get it next time. The musician is amazing. This time it’s a guy with an epic mustache, a keyboard and he has 1032 songs that he can sing. Last time you came it was a woman with a guitar with an amazing voice. Before that it was a jazz duo with a saxophone. They are playing your requests between original songs. You can’t believe this place is real. It’s like you’ve always imagined. Like you always wanted. The food is good. The bartenders are friendly and know their craft. Your friends show up and Traci asks the people next to you at the bar if they can move over one seat to let them sit next to you. They join in the conversation and you recognize them the next time you come in. It’s simply amazing. Live music every Friday and Saturday and other days for events. Love this place. Can’t recommend it enough.”

“What a perfect evening at 1933 Lounge in Carmel for our anniversary! Vanessa was our server and an absolute delight! Professional but very friendly and personable. Extremely attentive! The tuna poke on the seafood tower was INCREDIBLE! It brought us back to our honeymoon in Hawaii :) It was so good we asked for another side of just that. Should be it's own appetizer ❤️ The artichokes were SO good! Sad to hear it's coming off the menu. The Heirloom tomato and buratta salad was out of this world - truly next level dish. Originally from New England I appreciated the lobster bisque so much. I'd put it up against a New England lobster bisque any time - multiple actual chunks of lobster 🤤 And the bourbon and butter dessert was in a class by itself - it was rich but light at the same time... different textures, salty and sweet, cold and warm - just an excellent dessert - Vanessa knew what she was doing in recommending it! I wish I had gotten more pictures- we just started digging in as dishes arrived! My only criticism I can offer were the oysters were very gritty :( Couldn't eat them all and the seafood tower was so esthetically pleasing but the lobster tail was just unceremoniously placed on the ice lol Tasty! Just not placed in an elegant way like the rest. Would highly recommend - we're definitely returning (and asking for Vanessa 💗)”

“Love going to this store! Who knew there were so many options to go alcohol-free? They have a wide selection, they are friendly, and they are always ready to give a suggestion for your occasion or taste preferences.”

“Delicious food, friendly service! Definitely worth the trip. Will be back!”

“The Kitchen at Pickle on Penn is an absolute gem - every meal I’ve had has been delicious, and the service is always quick and friendly. The upbeat atmosphere and welcoming staff make it a place you’ll want to come back to again. Highly recommend!”

“The food here is absolutely decadent. We’ve eaten here a couple different times and they never fail to impress. The hospitality is top-tier, and the atmosphere is unmatched. 10/10.”

“Best wings in Indianapolis!”

“love the food and the prices are reasonable”

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings”

“This is quite a gem. The atmosphere is lovely and calm. Great music which adds to the calm atmosphere. Service is impeccable. There is an excellent selection of wine. The food is EXCELLENT! New chef is cooking great things!”

“We were hungry and it was a long day so we stopped here because it was easy. I was shocked. The food was delicious we had burgers and a ribeye sandwich. I have zero complaints. Quality beef. Flavorful. And for the price it was even more amazing. We will come back for sure. It’s also a great grocery store if you haven’t been.”

“Pleasantly the two young counter servers/register employees were very polite, courteous, efficient and proper word selection / enunciation so hope this is the norm not an anomaly. Set a high standard for future visits and exceeded experiences with longstanding competitors.

Ben and Jerry product quality and flavor variety are premium, had the Cherry Garcia in waffle cone and mango in a cup. Wooden spoons-who does that anymore? Nice touch.

Would visit again based on this positive experience particularly the best customer service of any recently visited ice cream retailer and product quality/differentiation.”
