    Had a 5:30 reservation with my 92yr old mother and husband. Put us directly under a speaker which was loud . Asked for a new table and was told no. Offered a makeshift table that looked like a 2ft by 8 ft skinny arts and crafts table. Manager rudely told me”you have an Open Table reservation and that’s the table you got”. If you don’t like Open Table then why do you offer reservations through them? She was rude Asked the waiter if he couldn’t least lower the music. Did not. Tables remained empty That manager (female Blonde hair pulled back with glasses on top of her head)needs some customer service training

    Service and food always excellent! The space itself is a bit crowded and gets VERY loud. But can’t be beat for quality of experience in Indy.

    A fantastic culinary experience like none other I’ve had anywhere near Carmel. Food flavor explosion, and experience (service and ambiance) is great. All around - Perfection! P.S. I don’t like to write reviews.

    Our favorite restaurant with Donny, the best server! We drive over an hour to eat here at least 4-5 times a year. Chef creates the most beautifully delicious meals, oftentimes with ingredients we have to google because we’ve never heard of them. Valentine’s dinner was GREAT! Thank you.
