“The best Thai food I have ever had. Consistently excellent. Pad Thai is outstanding!!!“

“Excellent food - delicious and beautifully served. Great service. Nice ambiance and music. Definitely will be back.“

“This restaurant has the best vibe. We live in Key West, and were in town, and our favorite musician from Key West happened to be playing here, so we had to come see him. The bar staff were very friendly and attentive. We sat at the bar and split two appetizers. We got the pork empanadas and crispy chicken sliders. The sliders came with fries, and I can’t say enough about these fries. They were similar in shape to steak fries, but super thin, almost translucent thin. The best fries I’ve ever had!! I’d go back just for them! The empanadas and sliders were both also delicious. After eating we went behind restaurant to parking lot to watch Cliff. The lot had food and alcohol for purchase as well. Overall a great experience. It really made me feel like I was back home in Key West.“

“Their food is amazing - changes with seasons the service is spot on the owners are very nice - always going back ☺️“

“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 💗)“

“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“

“I was in from out of town several days before Xmas, and was in the vicinity so from Googling, we ended up here for a quick and basic breakfast. We got basic croissant with egg and cheese buy still, I was impressed! Croissants tasted fresh. There were only a few other people there so I hope it makes more business because its a charming spot and is WOMAN OWNED! The atmosphere is that of a lounge, with several pretty red sofas.. and they've got a few of those popular lit up phrase-signs. It definitely has a different, more unique vibe than most places in Indy. Oh, and make sure you use the restroom, because the decor in there made me giggle out loud to myself!! There you'll find the cat photos that I attached here!“

“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.“

“Just had a late lunch as a solo diner. Was treated very kindly by the staff (server Arthur was absolutely delightful), food was delicious, and I think the banana cream tart was possibly the best dessert I’ve ever had. Thanks, Arthur!“

“Easily the best sushi we’ve had in the U.S. Very authentic and delicious, and the service is wonderful.“

“Great food and large portions. If you leave hungry, it’s your fault. 😀“

“We recently attended the ESQUE Burlesque Holiday Edition show at Feinstein’s, and what an incredible experience it was! The venue itself is quaint, gorgeous, and inviting, the perfect setting for an intimate performance. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home.
The show was absolutely outstanding, with talented performers, captivating energy, and such a fun, festive vibe throughout the entire event. The cocktails were fantastic as well, beautifully made and perfectly fitting the event’s flair. A special shoutout to Ben, the manager, who stopped by our table a few times to check in and make sure everything was perfect. Such a thoughtful touch that did not go unnoticed.
If there’s one area that fell short, it was the food. This was a brunch event, and unfortunately, the dishes were quite bland. With a bit more attention to flavor and seasoning, the kitchen could really elevate the experience to match the excellence of the rest of the venue.
Despite that one drawback, we absolutely loved our time at Feinstein’s and will definitely be returning soon. It’s a truly special place and we can’t wait to come back for another unforgettable show!“

“The ordering process was quick and easy. The menu was varied. We ordered a Smashburger which had 2 patties and was so well-made. The Onion Rings are fresh to order and have that homemade quality and taste that is hard to find with other restaurants! We're very pleased with our experience. The atmosphere in the dining room was great as well. Thank you, Tyger Adams for your friendly service! Our family highly recommends Walt's!“

“Zach was cool and attentive!“

“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.“

“Wanted a Mexican lunch stop that had tacos. Social cantina delivered. You should have hard shells added to your menu and fries for the kids menu. Otherwise no complaints. Burrito was excellent as were the tacos. Service was superb and prices were reasonable. Highly recommend.“

“Wonderful lunch and waiter Rick. Thank you“

“Everything is made fresh, service is very attentive keeping you posted on the progress of the food, not a place that you come in a hurry. The food was amazing I had the Queen Lobster Pasta and there is nothing else you could imagine in this dish just perfect! My wife had the fried snapper and it was spot on! Enjoyable place will be back soon trying something else!“

“This was our first time going to this establishment under new management. We arrived fairly early and were able to enjoy the music, a Cigar, and some drinks before it got crowded. The ambiance was great and the décor was appealing. The ventilation was very good. Even if you weren't a smoker, the cigar smoke was never an issue! I appreciate the clean restrooms and the comfortable seating. We were able to purchase cigars. However, I recommend you bring your own. They are on the pricey side. The young ladies were very friendly and attentive, and the bartender was able to make me a drink that I did not think they would be able to make, and it was on point! And on top of all of that, the best part was the DJ! Dj MJ was THE best DJ I've heard in a very long time. I didn't stop singing, moving, and dancing all night. He was so good that we felt compelled to tip him. Overall, we had a great experience and plan to revisit next weekend!“

“Good quality food. Nice bar.“

The staff members exhibit a commendable level of professionalism, ensuring that patrons feel comfortable and attended to throughout their visit. This commitment to customer satisfaction is evident in the attentiveness and friendliness displayed by the team, which significantly enhances the overall dining experience.

The culinary offerings, particularly the Eggs Benedict and French toast, exemplify a high standard of preparation and presentation. The Eggs Benedict is crafted with precision, featuring perfectly poached eggs atop a toasted English muffin, accompanied by Canadian bacon and a velvety hollandaise sauce that complements the dish exquisitely. Similarly, the French toast is executed flawlessly, showcasing a golden-brown exterior and a soft, custard-like interior, enhanced by a dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup. Both dishes reflect a commitment to quality ingredients and skilled culinary techniques.

It is advisable for patrons to prioritize these menu items when visiting. The combination of attentive service and expertly prepared dishes creates a compelling reason to return. To fully appreciate the offerings, one should consider making a reservation during peak hours to ensure a timely and enjoyable dining experience.
