“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.”
“We came in from out of town with family and I have to admit, this place was amazing! Miki did a wonderful job serving us and the food quality was perfect. We brought our 6 yo daughter and they did a wonderful job by keeping her happy throughout to prevent any unhappy child moments. Thank you all for a wonderful dining experience and btw the Miyazaki Wagyu was perfection!”

“Had a hot caramel macchiato with an extra shot of espresso, temp was just right to start drinking right away. It wasn’t too sweet but if you like a bold flavor I highly suggest the extra shot because I always get an extra shot and it was a little weak for me but it still tasted good I just like BOLD.”
“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 👌”
“We had dinner here for a friend's birthday and everything exceeded expectations! From Frankie's service, to the complimentary appetizer, the rest of the food, and the custom dessert drink they whipped up for us after we asked for Fireball whiskey shots to end the night. Thank you for a great experience and can't wait to be back!”

“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”

“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.”
“Awesome food and great service!!! Go for the Shrimp Tacos you won’t be disappointed!!”
“This food was absolutely amazing! We shared 4 of the appetizers and all of them were delicious. The main course and dessert were fantastic. Also cannot say enough good things about the espresso martini. The atmosphere is so welcoming and the staff was all quick and kind. I don’t have a single complaint! 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.”
“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!”
“We have been to most of Indiana restaurants and this was most authentic, freshly made, Hygienic, quantity&quality and top service.. I have my own catering business.. so I know Quality and service.. I would recommend Bheemas all.. thank you Bheemas.. we will definitely be back”
“First time at Rackz. When we entered, we were greeted by the very friendly staff. She made sure we new how the ordering worked and what was good. Service was fast and we got our food quickly. I had the pulled pork sandwich. The pork was very tender and delicious. The sweet BBQ sauce went great with the meat and had a good flavor. We left fully satisfied and was happy we chose Rackz BBQ.”
“A consistent YATS - the drunken chicken and red beans with sausage were very good along with the slab of delicious bread.\n\nStaff here were quick and efficient - I think I had my Togo order in my hands in less than five minutes from order to out the door.\n\nGood location, easy in-and out. Parking around the back, on the street, or across the street in the Meijer parking lot.”
“The food here is absolutely FANTASTIC, scratch kitchen perfection. Great service and atmosphere! You cannot go wrong here.”
“Divvy is one of my favorite places to go for an evening out! I always have a wonderful time. The food is delicious, the service is exceptional and the atmosphere is wonderful. I look forward to the next time I get to go! I can't wait to try the brunch!”

“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."”
“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.”
“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.”
“From the time we walked in the door, ordered our food and ate, the attention to detail and service was outstanding! The food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this place.”

“Been wanting to try Hotboys for a while now and it did not disappoint. I ordered the guap fries (without the chives) and they were very good. However not sure I would get them again because they left me wanting for more of the amazing chicken which is the real star of the show. I ran out of bites of chicken way before the fries. The cheese and money sauce were both amazing, fries could’ve been a little more done. The money sauce reminded me of Jaggers sauce from Jaggers, which I also love. The chicken seasoning and crispness were great. I went with a mild + level of heat but next time I’ll definitely increase to medium or medium +. My bf got the Sando chicken sandwich medium heat and he really enjoyed his as well. Will definitely return to try a chicken tender meal and that breakfast burrito looks pretty good too. ? also liked the vibe inside and ease of parking at this location. Bathrooms were also nice. Service was excellent and very friendly/ welcoming.”
“We scheduled Tropical Sno for our son’s birthday party and it was a fantastic experience. Everyone loved having a sno cone on such a hot day. Any time we drive by their spot on 116th, we have to stop… so what better way to celebrate than bring them to our home! They were professional, communicative, and did a great job. Thank you Mark, Beth, and team! We’ll be calling again! 🍧”
“Great Jain-friendly poke, with options for sauces that don’t contain onion, garlic or egg: Spicy ginger and creamy sesame dressing.
Bubble teas were great as well:
1) Mango pomelo sago
2) Drizzled brown sugar milk tea (brown sugar jelly instead of tapioca)
Both drinks safe to order at 100% sweetness.”
“We love Pizzology! Good food and drink. The staff are friendly and keep you updated on your meal. Pizzology is our neighborhood go-to.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Aroma. We were seated promptly and the service was amazing! Our food came out so quick and it smelled wonderful. We got the Aroma Tandoori Malai Broccoli, it was the best broccoli I’ve ever had. The interior was so clean and stylish and I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are stopping in Carmel for a bite to eat.”
“Had girls night on a Friday night. It was slower than normal but Peggy took excellent care of myself and two friends. She had an awesome attitude the second we walked into the door. She made us feel right at home and automatically started helping make suggestions. Cocktails, local bourbon flights and good food. What else could we ask for? Low-light setting makes it feel like a relaxed speak easy. It was a great time and I would highly encourage anyone to go and say hi to Peggy, she'll treat ya right!”

“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.”

“Our first dining experience here and certainly won't be our last. Food... outstanding! Service... sat at the bar and the bartender was wonderful. Wish I could recall her name but she was so fun, energetic and knowledgeable. Thank you for a wonderful dinner prior to our concert next door.”

“I eat at the blaze a lot when I’m in town probably too much. Quality and choices to build your own pizza at the price point is great service is usually quick and friendly unless they are slammed during lunch on the weekday. Prepare to wait 30 minutes with all the online and go orders as well as the walk-ins.
My only complaint is that the Caprese side salad was a fraction barely enough to pick up with a fork. Which is OK I guess if you got a little bit of pizza to go with it
The guy who was running the oven today with the glasses and curly hair at lunchtime, deserves a raise!”

It wasn’t too sweet but if you like a bold flavor I highly suggest the extra shot because I always get an extra shot and it was a little weak for me but it still tasted good I just like BOLD.”
“Here from VA! Hands down best spot to dine! My friend and I received the BEST customer service from Spencer! I tried ELK for the first time and the marshmallow sauce with the sweet potato waffle fries were SPOT ON, delicious!!! An experience I’ll never forget! So good, I came back a second time during my 2 week work stay, Chase was just as phenomenal! Bring bubs to VA!!! - xo, The Gals from VIRGINIA!”

“One of my favorite place in Carmel!
Pastries 🥐 are REALLY good and super fresh baked! Not too sweet and with a real European taste.
Also the cappuccino is very good, hot enough and a delicious coffee.
I had for the first time the Tiramisu Latte and WOW it was a dream!!! It remembered me home holidays in Italy 🇮🇹
Ps. I only wished the white chairs were cleaner. But I sit on the brown leather ones 😅”

“I had a last minute change in Thanksgiving plans and needed a bread for my Celiac girls. I found Lydia and placed a last minute order. Let me tell you the croissants were fantastic! I sent the few we didn’t eat with our meal on the 6 hr drive back to TN and she called to say thy made the perfect snack on her drive! We will definitely be ordering more and trying new things!”
“A solid new spot in downtown Carmel! It's a pretty small restaurant, so it can get crowded pretty quickly—plan accordingly. They maximize seating space with booths, bar tops, and bar seating, plus a nice covered patio in the back which is a great perk. The atmosphere is loud and fun (tons of TVs and memorabilia!), and the food was good as was the service.”
“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 go to the Kroger deli for lunch at least 1 time per week. I usually get the Tenders meal. You get 2 giant tenders, and choice of 2 sides and a roll or biscuit. I had mashed potatoes and green beans as my sides. Today I realized I never reviewed one of the best lunch spots in the downtown Carmel area. For $5 you get this really big meal that in most cases is too large to finish. Great quality on the chicken and the sides. They also have pizza and burgers, ribs, brisket, and a slew of other things. In addition to the good food, the employees in the deli are always friendly and the place is clean. I usually take the lunch back to my office, but they also have an eating area that is once again open after the Covid-19 mess. It is also quick. In and Out. There's a separate entrance to the Deli area so you can park and go straight to the deli. There's also a self checkout near the deli entrance/exit so you do not have to get into line in the regular part of the store. Highly recommend!!”
“My husband and I came here today and this guy over here is just amazing. So informative and lots of patience with all our questions and options. Might not be a very good choice of taking a picture of him but forgot to ask his name so yeah.
To the manager: please praise him for handling the floor alone (he was the only taking and making the order at that time everyone else was at the back)
The food itself was nice. We heard a good review about this place from a friend and didn’t regret coming here. The options were just healthy and doesn’t make you feel guilty for eating a lot 😬 I got myself hot honey chicken and my husband crispy rice bowl.”
“Food was great! Gooey butter cake is insanely good. Our server, Sophia, was fantastic!”
