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

“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!”

“This is the best Thai place ever! It is not like all of the others around the area serving identical dishes, there are amazing chef creations/family heirloom recipes that will save your SOUL on your worst behavior day as a parent. Promise.”
“Christine made the most incredible Italian Millefoglie dessert for 180 guests at my daughter’s wedding. It was a beautiful attraction set on on its own table at the reception. Guests raved about its freshness and taste. I highly recommend Stacco House if you are searching for something unique as well as delicious. Christine created a masterpiece with her attention to detail, and her professionalism was extraordinary.”

“5 stars all around. Wish I could shout to the world how awesome this place is. Not only is their food amazing but what’s most impactful for me is the customer service. They are super friendly and 1000% care about their customers, which you don’t find very often now! Always my go to spot. I LOVE BOWLIFY!!!”
“We were dining last week (Oct, 2026) Some items have a high amount of salt added ie.. Fries, Catfish. Also out of glazed carrots? Never in the past 8 years have you been out of carrots. In the south part of the restaurant the A/C is too cold. Overall, its a 4 star review out of 5.”
“Had the best tasting with Lee at Peace Water Carmel today! It's always a great experience and fantastic wine, but Lee went above and beyond to share information about the wine! Highly recommend 👌”

“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”
“I had an out patient procedure this morning in Carmel. We left the hospital hungry and craving some coffee. My wife found Just Love and we were both delighted. The coffee is delicious. The atmosphere peaceful. The food is WOW!!! And the barista is fun and just the right amount of snarky.”
“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!”

“This was our first time visiting this amazing family-owned restaurant. Being from New York City we often miss the quality of sushi we had available to us out there now that we are in the Indy area. But the place changed that! Will definitely be our go-to for sushi from now on and our conversation with co-owners Faith and Kevin made our meal that much more incredible when we had added context of their vision for Okonori as we dined.”
“I've been wanting to go here for awhile! on an early Saturday afternoon, we finally went. everyone was very pleasant and patient with our family (toddler and infant.) although we didn't have to use the changing table in the bathroom, it was appreciated that they had one. the service was prompt and the food was absolutely delicious. we had the pulled pork sandwich, salmon salad, and kids Mac and cheese with beans/rice. no complaints! our waitress Sue was fantastic. we will be back!”
“We took my boyfriend’s mother and her friend here to celebrate their birthdays last month. The food was great, the atmosphere and decor were dazzling, and the customer service was top notch. We especially loved the cake, chicken piccata, and the soup. We will definitely be back.”
“Great place to hang out and play golf! Everyone here is super friendly and helpful!”
“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.”

“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.”
“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!”
“This is absolutely one of my most favorite places to get an amazing meal. First of all they all are perfectly decorated inside. It’s a fun environment with great music playing. I pretty much stick with the full plate of Drunken Chicken and of course EXTRA bread (the bread is the best and you must order more!). You can get a plate with 2 dishes if you want to try more than one yummy dish or you can I have a full plate of the one you love the most! I have had pretty much every thing on their menu and they are all phenomenal. I love having a place to get real Cajun food.”
“Visited Sun King Carmel on a Sunday early evening. First visit at the ‘food court’ so a bit wandering and chaotic. There should be a court monitor stationed at a desk 1st floor middle of seating area right outside fenced area entrance from food court to access Sun King mostly to screen / prevent minors from entering the restricted area but didn’t know you could sit at a table in the general seating food court area and a Sun King server would visit to take your order as I just walked up to the Sun King bar counter and ordered myself unwittingly. Problem would be is likely a bit of a wait if I hadn’t self-ordered as it took about 10-15 minutes after I was seated for a server to check on my status after I sat at a table. But, the tab runs and the bartender tracks/forwards your order to the server and they finally track you down ultimately to pay the bill before you depart.
In the meantime, can partake the food court vendors for specialty cuisines yourself. Order and pick up food yourself and take to your table. If you can find a clean table top, as even though the food court wasn’t bysy, the tables weren’t all clean.
So Sun King has a limited variety on tap. The Osiris Pale Ale is mild not bitter so good and drinkable. But the Orange Vanilla Cream Ale is flavored similar to children’s orange aspirin icky I would not order it again.
Counter bar tender accommodating and server polite and courteous. Did check on me frequently after finding me seated.
Anyways if your first visit might be confusing the order delivery seating process. But go get it yourself or sit at a table and wait a bit and hope a server tends to you in a reasonable amount of time.”
“The food is absolutely AMAZING! The service is second to none. A great place to spend some time with your family!”

“My husband and I came in on a Friday night for drinks and loved the atmosphere so much we came back the next night for dinner too. Quiet music, intimate setting, elevated and romantic restuarant while I also being very laid back. Prices were very reasonable, food was absolutely delicious we ordered apps, main course and desserts, all fabulous! We will definitely be back next time we are in town.”

“It was absolutely perfect! I spent a little over $30 and got a huge serving of BBQ, a salad, fries, and dessert. 😋 Everything was delicious, and honestly, I had no idea when I was getting enough BBQ to easily feed two people for that price. This was my first time here, and it completely exceeded my expectations!”

“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.”
“Excellent service, fresh ingredients, different choices, very good highly recommend!!”
“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.”
“Luke Morgan was a great server. He was fast, accurate and personable. He arrived smiling and was able to answer any question and had a lot of knowledge about the menu. We would love to come back simply for our service with Luke and secondly for the food and quality of the restaurant itself.”

“Talk about the best snow cones I've ever had! I visited today with my boyfriend for the first time and we just loved it. The kids working, Grace and Evan, were so sweet and professional. They made our experience so nice.
The snow cones were wonderful. They're light and fluffy with lots of flavor and they're so pretty. I had the Buttered Beer and the Unicorn Princess, and my boyfriend had the Polynesian (forgot the other part), they were delicious. See you soon!”
“I had a really good experience at Uptown Cafe in Carmel. The grape salad was definitely one of my favorites—it was creamy, sweet, and had a nice crunch from the pecans. The breakfast burrito was also really good. I ordered mine with turkey and mushrooms, and the combination was flavorful and filling. The pancakes were not bad either—pretty classic and a good choice if you’re looking for something simple.
I also think you really can’t go wrong with their traditional breakfast. Sometimes a classic breakfast with eggs, meat, potatoes, and toast is exactly what you want, and this place does a good job with it. The portions are satisfying, and everything was presented nicely. Overall, it’s a solid breakfast spot with a good variety of choices, especially if you’re looking for something beyond the typical breakfast menu. I’d definitely come back and try more dishes next time.”
“Authentic Chinese cuisine. Excellent tender beef with onions, delicious Singapore style stir fried rice noodles. Their delicate sesame balls were the best we’ve had in US. Their Beef Chew Fen was good, the only other places you may find are probably China town in large cities. A true hidden gem in east Carmel!”
“Great place to grab a bubble tea and a fresh lunch! The poke bowl can have cooked chicken or fish if you like. You can have rice or simply a salad as your base (as well as other options). The variety of choices can suit all tastes! I enjoyed their easy jazz music and the seating is comfortable. Service was friendly. Looking forward to eating there again! I’m a foodie and there are few restaurants about which I say this!”
“I am a very picky diner when it comes to Asian food. This place is outstanding! Very reasonably priced meals and beautifully cooked; never greesy or oily. I have never had an over cooked meal here. Now I only ever get Chinese food here so I cannot speak to the fusion or Japanese food. But my 'test' is wonton soup. Most places it is rubbery, tasteless. Here it is made to perfection, even better than nearby Tian Fu which is generally a bit more upscale. This is where I go on my own to get in a meal when my family is out of town. Great service too, especially when you realize it is being done by one person. I tip my hat off to this restaurant. Highly recommended.”
“We eat here regularly. This is the first time we had a problem. Placed a carry out order, but half the food was not included. We didn't notice until I got home (I checked the receipt to make sure everything that we ordered was listed on the receipt but I did not open the bags in the restauarant since they were stapled shut). No answer on their telephone initlaly but did did reach someone after multiple attempts. They refunded everything that was missing and even the items that had minor things missing which was very nice of them.”
“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 💗)”
“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.”

“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.”

“We had a delightful time at Vivante. The cocktails, service, and entrees were all superb. Lisa was an amazing server and would recommend her to anyone and everyone.
I had the puttanesca, Caesar salad, and the Revival No. 2 cocktail. Highly recommend all three and am eager to go back and explore the menu further.”
“Came in for carryout to use gift cards from a friend while we are moving in. Order was not correct the first time which was disappointing. But I called back and Madison made it right. The order was made how it should have been and it was so good! Definitely coming back once we get settled in.”
“First time - brought my sister for her birthday- 10 out 10 in all aspects. The restaurant itself is very beautifully decorated classical and cozy. Great menu options - I recommend the 3 course dining option-it was perfection-very generous portions so be prepared to take some home. The food was delicious and elegantly served. The staff were very knowledgeable and so kind and welcoming. 👏 Great dining experience and we will make the hour and half drive soon as it was well worth the trip!”
“My favorite hobby is trying local joints from places I travel too. This adventure led me to this joint. I had the Spicy Bee & Bazbeaux Special (half & half). Both were good, but would totally get the Bezbeaux Special again…so tasty! If you enjoy light beers, I recommend Daredevil from a local brewery. My only con is the bottom crust wasn’t as done for me, but that is a personal preference (I typically ask for well done pizza). Would completely recommend to anyone looking for a pizza joint with a vibe!”

“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. 🍓 🍵”
