“We celebrated a dear friend’s birthday there tonight and the experience was amazing! The energy, the atmosphere, the food; everything was remarkable. Absolutely the most memorable dinner. A must in the Indy/Carmel area!”
“Very good appetizers, the crab artichoke dip is officially one of my favorites now. But sadly after spending so much on the twin lobster tails I was severely disappointed. I could barely cut the meat, let alone chew it… had to spit out two bites because it wasn't chewable…. I had to get a steak knife to even attempt to cut it and even then had to tug and rip just to get bite sized pieces. All the effort to be chewing what felt like pure connective tissue and no meat with every bite. I was so excited as it was my birthday dinner as well, live and learn. If I come back again I’ll stick to appetizers and maybe a burger or something for my entree./update. They personally reached out to me to apologize for my experience and refunded my mother, who paid for my birthday dinner, in full for the lobster tails. I truly believe it was just an unfortunate one off. I should have sent them back when I first had the problem. But I’m too polite and non-confrontational for my own good.”
“If you are north of Indy, you need to eat here! The food is amazing, worth the price! Chef Chad is incredible and super nice. He came out to talk to us and all and our server very friendly too.”
“What a pleasant surprise! This place made my day the food was very nutritious and yummy ? and the bag was very thoughtful. It’s nice to see a business that cares and goes the extra mile for their customers.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐The fish and chips at Charleston’s Restaurant were absolutely delicious! Crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. However, the service was a bit slow, which was the only downside to an otherwise enjoyable dining experience. Would definitely recommend for the tasty food, just be prepared for a leisurely meal.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“My recent dining experience, today, leaves me to believe this is one of the best dining options in the state. Our server, AJ, was absolutely amazing, reminds us of a young Fred Sirieix with his friendliness and quality of service. The food is flawless in every dish, especially the PIADAKIA (lamb chops). There isn’t much else to say, it’s just an amazing dining experience.”
“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.”

“They have a keto pizza that is small but very filling and tasty. We attended their Valenwines event. It was great and very educational. I did not know that they offered such a wide variety of wines and can perfectly pair them with pizza.”
“If you are north of Indy, you need to eat here! The food is amazing, worth the price! Chef Chad is incredible and super nice. He came out to talk to us and all and our server very friendly too.”
“Place is amazing. Not only is the food perfect every time but the people are as well. I frequent the place at least once a week and everybody working here keeps the vibes perfect.”
“Love this place for lunch. The food is always high quality ingredients and so delicious. Really enjoy the spring mix base option and the marinated tuna and salmon proteins.”
“Great menu offering delicious, fresh food.Portions are generous.Service is quick and friendly.Restaurant is brightly decorated - inviting, and very clean.Highly recommend.”
“It's my first time trying Quesa Tacos, and it's delicious. I tried the steak, chicken and quesabirria tacos, queso and salsa. They even have a salsa bar with pickled carrots. Highly recommend. It's also very cute decorations and clean. My 4 year old liked his steak taco and queso.”
“What a pleasant surprise! This place made my day the food was very nutritious and yummy ? and the bag was very thoughtful. It’s nice to see a business that cares and goes the extra mile for their customers.”
“If you crave the unique spice blend only found in middle eastern food, this is your place! Even down to the rice, the flavor is exactly what you would get only over there. If you want the legit flavors of the Middle East, this is it!!!”
“I drive by this food truck literally multiple times each day as my office is nearby. I keep intending to try it and have not made the time….until now. I ordered carry out via the website (which was a great experience by the way) and omg it was absolutely delicious! I am half Assyrian, so I’ve enjoyed a lot of Middle Eastern food throughout my life. Davani Armenian BBQ is the real deal! Everything tasted as authentic as if a relative or family friend prepared and grilled it from scratch. The beef lulu kabob wrap was incredible…the meat was moist and flavorful, the lavosh wrap was still warm from the grill, and the owner (who was so friendly and kind) was able to provide me the sauce, cilantro & onion, and tomato toppings on the side as I requested. All of it was **so good**! I also ordered the hummus & pita —both of which were quite tasty as well. I highly recommend this food truck to everyone who appreciates authentic, freshly prepared food! And I look forward to placing another order soon, this time as carry out for dinner for my family. Thank you Davani Armenian BBQ!”
“Their Coco Loco is the best latte! I also love the egg, cheese, sausage biscuit. The staff is so nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend for food, drinks, and human interaction.”
“Outstanding experience! Food was wonderful and service was OUTSTANDING! Our server Cailin was very knowledgeable and professional! Cailin gave us great suggestions and has an amazing personality. My daughter from Orlando was visiting and enjoyed her first visit to The Cake Bake before they open in Disney Springs later this year. How fortunate we are in Carmel to have this dining experience.”
“The cutest restaurant on Main! The day I visited the staff was behind and they were up front about being behind. They asked if we could wait 15 mins. so that the staff could catch up. I did not mind and they also were very thankful in return.The menu presented refreshing options for this Carmel resident. It’s one of a kind and the food was delicious. I tried the blackened tilapia sandwich and my husband had the short rib and pimento grilled cheese. We both found our choices satisfactory. I also had the side of coconut rice and black beans which was slightly sweet as expected and still great. As for our appetizer the crab and artichoke dip was delightful.This is a must try for everyone!”

“PHENOMENAL!!!I was skeptical at first as I am from out of town but boy did this place hit every level of absolutely amazing!!!I wish I lived closer so I could come back more often.Again, PHENOMENAL”

“Despite the innocuous name, this restaurant ended up being delicious and far above the average bar. The atmosphere was lovely, it's February and they served the rice in heart shapes with lots of decorations as well.The waitresses were very nice!”
“Great place they offer delicious halal burgers like wagyu and wings. You just need to tell them you want the halal option. This is my favorite burger place because i would never find halal burger selection like this anywhere else.”
“I visited Upland for the first time 3 weeks ago and have came back several times. The number one reason I continuously come back is for Sarah. She is the bartender and is absolutely stellar. Her personality is absolutely amazing and her service is just as good. I also love the food and atmosphere. If you haven’t tried Upland, you’re in for a great time!”
“Has the BEST queso I’ve ever had. Try to go at least twice a month. Great food, incredible margaritas, and an even better staff. Miguel runs a great establishment and I will continue to go as long as I’m in the area!”
“Absolutely wonderful! The restaurant itself is both elegant and contemporary. The staff is exceptional! The open kitchen with woodfire grill makes the whole place smell amazing. My wife's scallops risotto was delicious and my filet made my top 10 steaks ever. Can not recommend this place enough!”
“Most times I visit I go for the lamb burger - it's that good. However, I have probably had most things on the at this point after dining at BRU Burgers for many years now. The Bru Board (charcuterie and cheese) always makes for a great starter, but the Garlic Three Cheese and Melt Your Face burgers are the standouts that really differentiate BRU from your typical burger joint. Not a fan of their fries, but I am a fan of their black pepper mayo that steals the show. If you're looking for lighter fare, the sriracha Caesar salad (add salmon!) is my favorite and has just enough kick to elevate it beyond traditional. I'd probably skip the wings (only offered in one flavor) but this is a burger place and they do them all very well. Service has always been consistently good with only some minor hiccups which are quickly resolved. It's unabashedly a burger restaurant and, if that's what you're in the mood for, add BRU to your short list of places to go.Parking: During peak times it can be difficult to find close parking near the front, main entrance. However, there is additional parking available in the back.”
“The server we had almost ruined our meal. He would not leave us to enjoy our meal. Very pushy. Over recommended menu items after we already had chosen our entrees.”
“Recommended by a fellow Mexican. The food was good. I stuck with classic Enchiladas ( Mexicana Enchiladas one shredded chicken, one cheese and one ground beef). It was topped with different sauces emulating the colors of the Mexican Flag. There were many other selections that I would call fusion as it went beyond what you would get at more traditional Mexican Restaurants. I am confident you can find a dish that suits your mood that evening and something different a delicious for your next visit. Give them a try.”
“This place has an incredible range of food and is a great place to get quick service on the way home and actually get a meal that isn't loaded with saturated fat (for those that aren't worried about that they have plenty of options that aren't healthy too). I recommend the bowls as they are the most well rounded. The Cuban in particular has plantain, yuca, rice, beans, and pork.Dietary restrictions: Options for the gluten intolerant. I also avoid soy and dairy as well which there are options for here also.”
“What a lovely Sunday brunch with my fiancé and youngest son before his surgery on Monday. Jack had a little bit of a rough time getting all of his impacted wisdom teeth extracted this morning, but hopefully he is on the mend. This was his last meal before his surgery. They have a scratch kitchen. They are open for lunch, brunch and dinner. They have a wide variety of menu items with add on proteins and delicious specialty foodie items. The candy bacon was delicious and crispy and the right mix of sweet and savory, the burger and sauces are juicy and delicious. The crab cakes were wonderful the Parmesan risotto, the gnocchi, the Benedict and hollandaise sauce were perfect and the yolks were runny. I give it a 10 out of 10.”
“Wanted to do a quick shout out to my Favorite little winery in central Indiana. I have always loved the atmosphere and wine! But this season Scott and his crew went above and beyond to help me! I so appreciate you thoughtfulness and I will be forever grateful for the"find"! Your the best! Your loyal posse member! Carol Hamer Willoughby”
“We’ve lived in the area for several years and finally visited this hidden treasure. This place has such a wonderful family feel. The service is impeccable and the food definitely tastes homemade. We are fans ams will certainly be back.”
“Phoebe was our server/bartender. She went out of her way to accommodate our special request for a variation of a mocktail. Even though it felt like we were getting royal treatment, I got the impression she treats everyone that way. It's hard to find people who really put their heart into their work but she is clearly one of them. We felt very welcome and will definitely be back and will look for Phoebe.”

“This studio is so welcoming and inclusive! I was very impressed with the cleanliness and friendliness! The schedule seems to offer many classes and sign up was easy! Anna M is a great instructor and she made me feel welcome even though it had been a long time since I had been on my mat and probably looked crazy. :)”
“As always, Baking For Uganda exceeds expectations with their delicious treats! The peanut butter cookies I recently enjoyed were an absolute delight - perfectly baked and wonderfully flavorful. I cannot recommend Baking For Uganda enough and I strongly encourage others to try their sweet treats.”

Takeout Restaurants
“Highly recommend. Outstanding quality ingredients. Not only delicious and authentic, but easy on the stomach as they use high quality ingredients. Thank you. My husband and I enjoyed Chicken Parm sandwiches, Canoli, and took home for later: Amaretti, Sfogliatelle, pasta, and tomatoes . We will definitely be back. Thank you for providing superior quality.”
“Social in Carmel, Indiana is the best!! Taylor always gives us the best service every week! My wife and I go to enjoy the Social Nachos with the house margaritas….this place is a must visit!”
“They are open for business! Door dash is scamming them. They have never signed up for door dash. Have never had an agreement with door dash. They have contacted door dash several times and door dash refuses to remove the information. Their food is amazing! Large portions and worth the price. The owners are really kind and the restaurant is always clean. I'm so glad they were able to open after the building was affected by a fire.”
“We were In town for a baseball tournament trying to find a place to have dinner for our sons bday that’s tomorrow and randomly found this place and let me say best place I’ve ever been the owner came out welcomed us and made our son feel so special on his bday thank you so much again highly recommend best calzone and soda I’ve ever had !!”
“Best burritos on the island. Made to order, fresh, full of flavor, and huge!!! We have to stop at least once every trip! Jaime and his wife, the cooks and owners, are very kind. Danny, the server is courteous and friendly. Absolutely love CKB!!!”

“Can’t even exaggerate how good this ice cream is. Handel’s ice cream is 7 out of 5 stars. The line can get long but it always goes fast thanks to the great service. A trip to Westfield ALWAYS includes a trip to Handel’s, no matter the time of year!”
“I ordered the diy sugar cookies for Christmas and they were amazing. My little sisters were recently diagnosed with celiacs (they are twins with Down syndrome). Since their diagnosis they’ve been pretty picky on what they like. They devoured the cookies! They enjoyed them so much. I highly recommend No label at the table!”
“Chris made a delicious Pecan pie for my dad's 80th bday. My dad said it was the best he ever had. I thought Chris outdid himself by using the freshest/best ingredients... maple syrup from Vermont, pecans from Georgia, etc. Come to find out that is 'just the way he runs his business's. He is excellent and I can't wait to order from him again.”
“I really love this place! The food is always hot and fresh, almost everyone is so sweet. The biscuits and gravy is THE BEST! But specially Isaac is amazing! I love his service, he has a way of making you feel like you’re just a couple of friends having a good time. I would love to see Isaac in a manager position, he would absolutely excel!”
“This was my 2nd time coming to this place and I was expecting the same great BBQ rib tips with sweet sauce but when I received the rib tips..it tasted almost like they were boiled, tough, and very gummy..maybe it was just a early batch and they needed to sell immediately or maybe it was just one of those days but I plan coming back because I am still looking to have that same experience the first time. Also I wonder if such request for getting rib tips with more bark is possible because that’s what got me coming back again lol. But overall this place is great!”
“We love the convenience of checking the app and seeing if my favorite cookies are available and then ordering through the app and just coming to pick up when it’s convenient. My favorite is the chocolate chip cookies which thankfully they have pretty much every day. So good!”
“My husband and I have lived in Japan for 6 years (8 for him) and Kizuki has the most authentic flavors I have found yet stateside. Their ramen, chicken kaarage, their gyoza....it's all there. Top to bottom flavor that I have serious cravings for. I could only give four stars for atmosphere because it does become quite crowded and kind of noisy. I love Kizuki and hope they never leave!”

“Went on a busy Saturday morning. Loved their bright, open interior and seating options. We were still able to get a seat even though there were a lot of people. We are serious coffee drinkers and like strong, darker roasts. We got one cortado and one nitro. Presentation was great! And I love that they served the coffee in actual dishes, not single serve cups. The sour flavor of the coffee was a bit overpowering for us (personal preference). We would have given the coffee 5/5 if it had been less sour. We ordered a cinnamon roll. It was pretty standard (maybe store bought?). A bit pricey for the quality. Next time we would just come for coffee and would probably try other options than the ones we ordered yesterday. They have lovely outdoor seating that will be nice when it gets a bit warmer. Lots of bright windows throughout the place.”

“We had hibachi for a team work lunch at 11:30am. Service was quick, and the food was solid. Interior decor was classy, but the hibachi chef seemed a bit green.I say that because I've been to my fair share of hibachi places, and there were a few hiccups this time: the onion volcano was messy with oil leakage, so the fire didn't shoot up so much as spread around the onion; and his aim was bad so most everyone ended up with fried rice hitting them in the face ?Also, FYI, if you choose soup for your entree, it's a clear soup or like a broth --not miso.”

“What a great little coffee shop. I've been here twice. The service is quick, the quality is high, and the friendliness of the service is high and authentic.I've tried the cappuccino and a latte during my visits. Both were good. The kids both loved their drinks and they are very inviting to families...including a small play area for little ones.Check it out and you won't be disappointed!”
“Excellent experience all around. Extremely friendly staff, fast service, and food that is hot and made exactly as we asked for. You can't go wrong with eating at Chick-Fil-A because there in the business of serving and they do it well.”
“We only got drinks, so I don't know how the food was, but the hot gingerbread oat latte and medicine bomb were delicious. The staff was helpful, knowledgeable, quick, and friendly even though they were busy. The parking lot is challenging but well worth it.”
“They were absolutely slammed today at lunch and the three workers were hard at it the entire time. They got out the orders as quickly as they could, kept great attitudes, and the food was awesome as well!”
“A group of us had dinner on 3/17 in Carmel and the entire staff went above and beyond with fast, friendly services. The food was excellent and the service was phenomenal. Kudos to the entire Sunday afternoon team.Parking: Parking was accessible and enough for our team of around 15.Kid-friendliness: The kids were catered to in a friendly atmosphere.”
“Customer service was very friendly, Jackie and Chris are the best ? very efficient and very welcoming! The food was great and everything was just like we ordered, and everything was great.”
“Lots of employees cranking out the pizzas! Took less than 10 minutes to fulfill my walk-in order. Great value if you like to cook at home. Also their salad is a terrific value!”
“Excellent Food Truck Experience!!! Delicious food and wonderful service. They were there early and made everything simple and stress free. Took care of everyone and lots of smiling faces. Successful event and will definitely look to hire them again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Great food. Delivery service was a little confused. The driver told me my address was incorrect because he came to the wrong side of the building. I tried to explain the building is the same address no matter which side you look at it and to just follow the pin on the app, but I don’t think he was getting it. Still a great spot. I think I’ll just go in from now on.”
“Good food!! I really like their turkey bacon club that’s no longer on the menu but they always fix it for me anyway!! Disappointed they got rid of my potato cakes, but that made me try their jalapeño poppers which I really like….especially with the bronco sauce!! Plus they have the best cherry turnovers!! I was not disappointed!”
“Absolutely love the smoothie bowls the PB Delight is my go too. However, I wasn’t satisfied by the appearance of my bowl. The team member could have drizzled the peanut butter on top better then he did, you know like how it looks on the pictures. He probably wasn’t in a good mood or maybe he needs more practice on how to drizzled the peanut butter on top cause why the peanut butter look like scribbles…”
“I hate dentists and I found myself with a painfull tooth and a very bad infection. Called 5 dentists to no avail A friend from RCI recommended the practice under its old name I called and They got me in that afternoon So I don’t hate this dentist or her staff. I cannot say enough about them and their care. They are the best They gave me a prescription. Took it to my pharmacy and the pharmacist looked at it and said I hate dentists. I told her she would love this one. She said she would call them So while I started with hate I will end this with I love this dentist and her staff”
“I was wondering why my mobile ordering wasn’t going through, and I realized I made the mistake of selecting the wrong restaurant to pick up from (accidentally selected the 146th St. location). The manager at this location (King) was behind gracious to take my order and put a rush on the prep. Exemplary customer service and definitely will be back many more times in the future!”
“This restaurant is amazing! We loved the delicious and authentic mexican food and Larissa (general manager) gave the best customer experience with great energy and very professional! We tried the cocktails and the Maria’s Enchiladas! I hope back again”
“This a lovely hidden gem located within walking distance of Hotel Carmichael and the Carmel Farmers' Market (which is where we came from)! Aesthetically, it's really charming with an eclectic mix of vintage decor and plants, mix-and-matched tables and chairs, with dim lighting. We were greeted promptly by a friendly employee. They were very helpful with our questions about the menu, as well. We ended up ordering the red rooibos cappuccino and a vanilla latte, both with oat milk. If you like your drinks sweet, I would definitely recommend asking for additional sweetener because they were on the bitter side but still delicious. As for meals, we both ordered the shakshuka with two eggs, and extra bread for dipping. It was phenomenal! The flavor was incredible. The tomato sauce was vibrant and full-bodied, but the addition of an herbaceous accompaniment really helped to brighten it. The eggs were runny and the yolk added a creamy element, too. We were both left feeling very content with our impromptu brunch and are glad we gave it a try! We'll definitely be back. There are several vegetarian options and the shakshuka can be made vegan. Their menu also states that they decline alterations to the entree items just fyi!”
“This is a really great bar. It has a speakeasy vibe, with low lighting and soft music. It is on the small side, which I enjoyed. The drinks are great and at a higher price point than the surrounding area. This is the second time I've been here and there has only been one bartender. So, the service was slow. I do recommend this as a pre-date spot.”
Cheap Eats
“Coffee was Perfect - flavoring not too sweet, just right! Super clean & profession service at the counter : ) Playing Nat King Cole softly in the background, what more can you ask for?!”
“My wife and I hired Jacquie's to cater and provide dinner for our wedding reception on 2/24/24 at The Mill Top in Noblesville IN. From the initial planning/quote, to our tasting, to day-of - all went fantastic! The quality of our meal was top-notch; and the carvers, dinner assistants, and onsite team was friendly, professional, and hard-working. Special thanks to Kris Bereman for being great to work with throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Jacquie's for any and all catering needs!”
“I ordered the mild chicken pad Thai for dinner and the portion was plenty! The flavor was phenomenal with the weren't amount of sauce. I was very impressed. The inside is very clean and our waitress was efficient and friendly. Great price for great portions!”
“Decent Thai food if you're in the area. It's fairly small inside so accommodating larger groups might be difficult or impossible. They do offer "Extra Thai Hot" which is actually spicy enough for me as it seems so many other places play it pretty safe.Parking: Can't enter from the rear so if you park in back, where most of the available parking is, you have to walk all the way around to the front to get inside.”
“A Carmel mainstay, what more could you want than fantastic ice cream and frozen treats! I take my kids here all the time and we always enjoy it. From the fun outdoor counter service in the summer with easy access off the Monon to slipping inside in cooler months for a sweet treat. The staff here are young, but always friendly and well trained. And the treats can't be beat!”
“Visited this place almost a year later. Love the food and selection of beers n wine.love their potato skin pie. Jus so yummy, and they have good salads as well. The server was good and loved the casual atmosphere. Will definitely go back. It's my comfort food kinda place.”
“I cannot recommend this place enough. Doordash messed up an order and the owners were absolutely insistent on making it right, going so far as to drop off the order themselves at my home. Such heart!!”
“I have been here at least 10 times in the last 3 months and ordered something different each time and YET to find something I didn't like. The service is great, the food is great, the beer selection is on point.”
“It was my first time at Condado Tacos! The atmosphere is fun and inviting. The house margarita had good taste and offered the relaxation I was looking for. The tacos were tasty and filling. My waitress Hailey was informative, attentive and quite friendly! I would highly recommend Condado Tacos. It is likely I will become a regular.”
“If you like First Watch, this place is similar but with an Italian cuisine influence. That is a good thing for me with a menu a little more adventurous with options and flavors. Food was fresh and service attentive. Gets a little loud when it’s crowded.”
“Every time I come here to get kolaches it’s wonderful. The employees are all efficient, friendly, and personable. During my visit today, I had a pleasant conversation with Maria, and excellent service. It’s one of many, but I figured I’d finally write a review. In short, highly recommended.”
“Great coffee & sandwiches, and even better people. Always friendly and quick service, perfect for a to-go order or to sit and relax outdoors on a nice day. Always appreciate small businesses who truly care about the community, and Michelle & team are second to none.”
“It was great. Will eat there again. My Mom and I got lost on our way to my doctor's appointment at IU Health and happened upon Brunchies. It was great. The service was out of this world great. We decided that we will eat there again in the future. Very pleased with everything there.”
“I love the concept and the atmosphere of the restaurant. The quality of the food is amazing, especially for the price. The last couple times I've been there, the meat has been lukewarm. I think that management needs to really take a serious look at that issue if they want to remain in business long term. I am not sure I will be back anytime soon unless I get coupons, but they seemed busy enough, and I hope they don't ignore concerns about keeping their food at a good temperature.”
“We’ve been here quite a few times, and we love it! It’s hidden in an unassuming shopping mall strip, but you walk inside to such a beautiful space! The food is superb. They run on a lean staff but you never know it, because the service is fantastic and they are always happy to see you. You know it’s a great place when the take out table always seems packed!”
“Good food. Like the concept, but a few more options like olIves or tomatoes would be nice. It's in a strip mall, but a little personality and pop would go a long way in wanting to stay and eat...Vegetarian options: Leave the meat off and fill with hummus, baba ghanoush, cakes, etc.”
“The original evening plan was for the Mrs. & I to play laser tag, but there was an hour wait until the next game.. what to do? Easy..eat of course! Tucci's was right around the corner & since we hadn't been in awhile.. why not? We hadn't been because even though they're pretty good, they had limited seafood selections, & we're pescatarian. Much to our surprise, they'd made some tasty additions to their menu since we were there last. The staff was friendly & actually remembered us from the last time we were there.. after playing laser tag..?With the cool atmosphere, & more for us to choose from on the menu now, we'll probably be back again sooner than later.. my best guess is.. it'll probably be the next time we go play laser tag..???Dietary restrictions: My wife has a few dietary restrictions, but they've always been more than willing to modify her dish to make sure it was to her liking.Parking: I've never had a problem finding free parking on the street or directly across the street in a big free lot.”

“I by accident left my credit card. Christopher and Jason were working and put it in the cash register drawer. It was good character and honesty for the two young men. Makes me think highly of the employees Subway is hiring at this location. Again thanks for your honesty.”
“Jose the manager there is amazing and gets your order done quickly so there is never a big wait time. Even when he is the only one there , he makes sure you are well taken care of and your order is perfect .”
“I got the garlic burger and it's soooooo good, the service and ambiance is really nice and the area we were seated was beautiful. For a drink I recommend the blueberry basil cocktail, it's so good!”

“I often stay at this hotel when visiting family. This bar is very good. Seating is ample, and servers know their stuff. Prices are extremely fair. Food was good at dinner. Breakfast was not very good...lukewarm sides and acrid pancakes. For $18 I expect more quality.”
Latest Reviews
“We asked the staff to give us well done fries and, even short staffed, they put down a batch of fries a minute longer for our request. It's a bit out of the way from work but I'd return for service like that.”
“Great breakfast place. My wife and I flew into indy and stayed the night. Before leaving to see family, we saw a breakfast place near the hotel. Wild Eggs was our choice and it did not disappoint. I had the mad platter it was the best. My wife ordered The Carolina, she loved it. We'll definitely eat here again next time we are in town.”
“I started going here about 12 years ago strictly for wine. Now I shop here for wine and bourbon. GREAT store with a very friendly staff. The selection is always great and you can definitely find something unique here.”

“It was my first time at Condado Tacos! The atmosphere is fun and inviting. The house margarita had good taste and offered the relaxation I was looking for. The tacos were tasty and filling. My waitress Hailey was informative, attentive and quite friendly! I would highly recommend Condado Tacos. It is likely I will become a regular.”
“What a lovely Sunday brunch with my fiancé and youngest son before his surgery on Monday. Jack had a little bit of a rough time getting all of his impacted wisdom teeth extracted this morning, but hopefully he is on the mend. This was his last meal before his surgery. They have a scratch kitchen. They are open for lunch, brunch and dinner. They have a wide variety of menu items with add on proteins and delicious specialty foodie items. The candy bacon was delicious and crispy and the right mix of sweet and savory, the burger and sauces are juicy and delicious. The crab cakes were wonderful the Parmesan risotto, the gnocchi, the Benedict and hollandaise sauce were perfect and the yolks were runny. I give it a 10 out of 10.”

“Tommy, Makenzie and Kelli were all absolutely fabulous! Hands down Tommy was the best server we have had in a VERY long time!! He was extremely personable and knew the menu well. He was also able to give recommendations and took great care of us.”
“Went to Osteria for a Birthday dinner. I ordered the special Ribeye that was offered that evening and it came not cooked as requested. We could not be more pleased with what Osteria did in the name of service recovery. Our server Kiley was unbelievable, she made sure the mistake was more than fixed as did the General Manager Laurie Cambell. Everyone makes mistakes its what you do to fix them that leaves a lasting impression. A great experience.”
“If you want awesome pizza, wings and breadsticks this is your place! Erica is the best bartender! They have awesome servers also, Sebastián, and John are great. Javi is at the front of the house making sure it runs smoothly. Highly recommend giving them a try.”
“My sister and I had an awesome birthday dinner for her last week at Vivante. The service, the food, and the birthday cake were all 5 star. And a special shout out to Megan the Gen. Mgr. who was SO nice and pays such great attention to detail! Highly recommend!”
“Most times I visit I go for the lamb burger - it's that good. However, I have probably had most things on the at this point after dining at BRU Burgers for many years now. The Bru Board (charcuterie and cheese) always makes for a great starter, but the Garlic Three Cheese and Melt Your Face burgers are the standouts that really differentiate BRU from your typical burger joint. Not a fan of their fries, but I am a fan of their black pepper mayo that steals the show. If you're looking for lighter fare, the sriracha Caesar salad (add salmon!) is my favorite and has just enough kick to elevate it beyond traditional. I'd probably skip the wings (only offered in one flavor) but this is a burger place and they do them all very well. Service has always been consistently good with only some minor hiccups which are quickly resolved. It's unabashedly a burger restaurant and, if that's what you're in the mood for, add BRU to your short list of places to go.Parking: During peak times it can be difficult to find close parking near the front, main entrance. However, there is additional parking available in the back.”
“Social in Carmel, Indiana is the best!! Taylor always gives us the best service every week! My wife and I go to enjoy the Social Nachos with the house margaritas….this place is a must visit!”
“They have a keto pizza that is small but very filling and tasty. We attended their Valenwines event. It was great and very educational. I did not know that they offered such a wide variety of wines and can perfectly pair them with pizza.”
“Love the atmosphere and different from some of the other Mexican Restaurants I go to. Very friendly staff and food came out quick. Definitely will be coming back.”
“I cannot recommend this place enough. Doordash messed up an order and the owners were absolutely insistent on making it right, going so far as to drop off the order themselves at my home. Such heart!!”
“Busy most evenings but if you get in early like before 6PM there's usually no wait or not much of one, menu remains limited from what it used to be except for drinks but food is good and hot and salad and breadsticks were good as usual.”
“Their Coco Loco is the best latte! I also love the egg, cheese, sausage biscuit. The staff is so nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend for food, drinks, and human interaction.”
“On either side of the coast it’s become a staple for ethnic food places to stop including beans and rice/rice and bread/ whatever the case is. It’s infuriating. This food was amazing, modestly price and came with rice and bread. Generous, awesome restaurant.”
“It was my first time at Condado Tacos! The atmosphere is fun and inviting. The house margarita had good taste and offered the relaxation I was looking for. The tacos were tasty and filling. My waitress Hailey was informative, attentive and quite friendly! I would highly recommend Condado Tacos. It is likely I will become a regular.”
“We decided to try this place since we were in the area, and Kotoyama Ramen in Noblesville is one of our favorites. Same delicious food with some new options! The mocktail fruit cocktails are absolutely delicious, and sushi was a nice option. Service was fast and everyone was very friendly!However, the bathrooms could have used a thorough clean and the atmosphere was a little lacking compared to Noblesville.Great food though!”
“Great menu offering delicious, fresh food.Portions are generous.Service is quick and friendly.Restaurant is brightly decorated - inviting, and very clean.Highly recommend.”

“Didn't realize this has opened. Stopped in to get some wings to take home. The bartender was great, welcoming. Then met the owner who gave me the eye roll (lol) when I said I was taking them to go, so got a beer (need better variety- no stouts or porters!). So I decided to try my 4 medium wings. I like hot. Not sure I could go much past medium but I am going to try! They were piping hot and delicious. Flavorful without being salty. The greens he said were "sweet and spicy." Accurate description. Very good. Coleslaw was ok. Giving 5 stars because I like his energy and want him to be successful in HC! I'll be back for sure.”
“Delicious southern Indian cuisine, with kind and thoughtful service. This is a must try! We stopped in and the gentleman taking our order helped guide us through the menu, and even brought out a sample of one of the curries so that we could test the spice level. The mutton curry has amazing spice and depth of flavor, plus the meat is as tender as can be.”
“Great shared space with a pastry shop. Cozy seating area. Parking in front on street and behind the building as well. Service is always great. By far the best Chai Latte I’ve had. We’ve been back several times and will continue to make our way there.”
“My first time visiting and I’m in love. The food is great and the service is amazing. You get your food in a timely manner and they are so friendly. Definitely recommend and I will be going back soon!”
