“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.”
“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!!!”

“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!”
“Best Italian food in Carmel. Everything is made from scratch and the service was amazing. Very friendly staff. Will visit again before heading back to Phoenix. Thank you for a wonderful experience and evening.”
“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.”

“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”
“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!”
“I love this place! The food was fantastic, the staff were friendly and the price very reasonable. My son and I were in Carmel from out of town as he is taking a class in the area. We had spring rolls , Chicken Satay, Thai Fried rice, Thai ice coffee and hot ginger tea. A+ would defiantly recommend and when in town we will eat there again.”
“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!”
“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.”

“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.”
“This brewery has such a great food! You can grab a beer inside and take it outside with your food from any of the vendors, which makes for a nice, relaxed setup.
One tip: check the menus posted on the door, then follow the signs to find the food vendors. It can be a little confusing to navigate at first, so just give yourself a minute to figure out the flow.
Overall, a solid spot with good variety and a laid-back vibe!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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 💗)”
“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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

“We always e joy our food at Cafe Patachou. We do not typically go to this location so it was a nice change if pace.
Our server was very friendly and seemed to know everyone. She was so friendly that she spent too much time talking to other tables and did not notice we had been seated.
I was disappointed because we were there at 1:00 on a Friday and they did not have the tomato soup available. They only had one soup available amd it is not one that I like. They were not getting ready to close so I do not understand why they did not have a popular soup available.
It was not very busy so I was not very loud. We had a nice co c
Versatile amd could hear each other nicely.”
“We had the best dinner at Verde last night! Super delicious food, wonderful service and the flowers and plants are so beautiful- a wonderful atmosphere! 5 stars!”

“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“This place does not look like much, but it is seriously legit good. We are from the NYC area and this place could hold its own there. Best Chinese food we have had in Indiana. Lomein and general tsos are really great. Sushi was very good too. General tso was slightly crisp on the outside, soft and juicy, on the inside. Slightly sweet, slightly spicy. No one else in Indy even knows that’s how it should be. We have had other things like pepper beef, also very nice. It’s a family business not a chain. Very nice people. Expect great food. Do not expect expensive decor. Prices are reasonable for the quantity and quality.”
“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."”
“First time here. Definitely won’t be the last. Fantastic food. Friendly staff. Found my new go to place. Highly recommend!!”
“The food here is absolutely FANTASTIC, scratch kitchen perfection. Great service and atmosphere! You cannot go wrong here.”
“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!”
“Excellent service, fresh ingredients, different choices, very good highly recommend!!”

“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 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.”
“Blaze Pizza is a fine establishment, indeed, and one which I found most agreeable during my visit. The pizza was fresh and well-prepared, with a pleasant crust and a satisfactory selection of toppings from which one might choose according to his preference. I found the ability to have the pizza prepared to my own liking particularly convenient.
The staff were courteous and conducted themselves with proper manners, and I was not kept waiting for an unreasonable length of time. The establishment itself was pleasant enough, and the meal was served in good order. I found neither the food nor the service wanting in any significant regard.
All in all, my visit to Blaze Pizza was a most satisfactory affair. The meal was enjoyable, the service was respectable, and the price seemed fair for what was provided. Should I find myself in need of a meal of this nature again, I would have little hesitation in returning. Five stars are well deserved.”
“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!”

“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. 🍓 🍵”

“Kristin and the entire Orangily staff are professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Orangily provides an excellent selection of AF beverages to help you be a better host and keep your social activities aligned with your whatever personal goals and needs you may have. I just the love warm and welcoming environment.”
“What an incredible and wonderful place! Wow! We happened upon it walking in Village of West Clay. It was a very serendipitous discovery and was a goldmine! Q bar is beautiful inside and has outdoor too- the server Sara was beyond kind, friendly and knowledgeable- she is also a vocalist and is do talented to be in musicals plus do such an awesome job helping customers in the Q bar! The conception and machines were phenomenal - such choices! And it's fun too, the food is exquisite. The power bowl with added chicken or without- we had one of each- is truly gorgeous as a dish and extremely flavorful and healthy too! We were able to talk with the owner Quynh Nguyen is extremely kind and so knowledgeable and so friendly too- she has created a place to be extremely proud of - as it's fabulous in every way. We were so impressed with the food, wine, atmosphere as well as Sara and Quynh- this place is so unique plus 5 star incredible!!!”
“love the food and the prices are reasonable”
“So, there isn't much to say about the taste. Its ben and Jerry's, you know what to expect. That being said, the physical location compared to super market pints offers toppings and a variety of various forms of ice scream like shakes and such that its a fun experience. But the price is what kills this place. For the cost, you could oractocally just go to the grocery store and buy the toppings you want and still gain more than you would in person here at the location. (This the star review).
Comparative to the more local ice scream shops, this place is really just a name with the ice cream readily available.
Stand was great and hospitable, very engaging. Nothing wrong with them. Just the cost per Oz for the ice cream.”
“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.”
“I ate Sweetgreens two days in a row and both options were really good. I decided to go the custom build your own salad and a side of Brussels sprouts. I felt like it was fresh and they offer a large selection of choices. I will definitely be going back.”
“Amazing food in an elegant atmosphere. Highly recommend for a fancy night out . Great wine selection , the menu is outstanding”
