I did see they allow you to make reservations on Open Table, so I booked it for a weekday to try it out. It wasn't nearly as busy as the parking lot looked, there was plenty of seating. It was a nice day so they had the windows open and they also had someone playing live music so it was a tad loud but, not overly loud where you can't hear your conversation. The menu is not your typical menu, it's very crafty if that's a word. The service was very good, and she explained the menu well and we took her up on her recommendations. Turkey pastrami which I had never had before. It tastes really fresh and felt healthy. The salad comes in a little small bowl but full of goodness. It's a really nice place for a girls night out, or a family dinner. Wouldn't consider it a good place for date night as it is pretty loud.

I have been a fan of Jacquie's since she opened her first cafe on Michigan Road. I was anxious to…read moretry her newest cafe that features healthier and organic options. The small cafe tucked into a strip mall near Daddy Jack's. Three small tables and a counter are available for dining-in. You order and pay at the counter and a clerk brings your food to your table after a short wait. The menu offers breakfast bowls, lunch panini sandwiches and bowls, salads and smoothies. Prices are on the high side. I ordered a Tuna-Lime Salad, but received a Chicken Salad, that I returned and they replaced with a Tuna Salad. The generous portion of vegetables were chopped uniformly and perfectly small. The lime dressing was very good. The tuna was ok, perhaps a tad dry. My husband had the Organic Peanut Butter Panini. He loved everything about his sandwich. The bread from Amelia's bakery was good and chewy, the bananas were sweet and the jam was notably delicious. The side of fruit was refreshing. The clerk was friendly and service was quick. Close parking is limited as were accessible spaces during the lunch hour.

Summer is officially here, and so are the best vibes on the patio at Big Lug! As we know, this is…read moreone of my favorite neighborhood spots for several reasons. One being how they consistently roll out new monthly specials - they're always creative, and the names and descriptions are so much fun. Plus, their specials tie into whatever's locally happening at the time, whether it's Pride Month, Oktoberfest, or anything in between. I tried the summer za' which is a pizza with tomato, corn, zucchini, sausage, red onion, and cheese. Super tasty! And for my mocktail lovers, try the watermelon mint refresher. I'm obsessed!

Big Lug Canteen delivers a memorable meal from start to finish -- friendly, unpretentious service,…read morea warm neighborhood vibe, and two standout dishes that I'll be ordering again. The Brussels sprouts are an absolute triumph: perfectly blistered with a caramelized exterior and tender interior, dressed in a harmonious balance of bright acidity and savory depth. Little crunchy bits and a subtle smoky char add texture, while a finishing sprinkle (and a hint of something sweet-salty) elevates them from simple side to a show-stealer. The Korean salmon is equally impressive. The fish arrives flaky and moist with a richly glazed crust that carries sweet, spicy, and umami notes in perfect proportion. Layers of flavor -- gochujang-forward heat, sesame brightness, and a touch of citrus -- play against the salmon's natural richness without overpowering it. It's plated thoughtfully, with complementary sides that keep each bite balanced. If you're at Big Lug Canteen, don't pass up those two dishes -- they demonstrate skilled technique, bold yet nuanced seasoning, and a real sense of care in the kitchen. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, solid value. Highly recommended.

Vibes are pretty modern and simple (we were seated in the side room, the outside looked like they…read morehad a bit more fun furniture going on) Service felt elevated. Appetizers - pretty yummy WTF roll - 9/10 had dried Wagyu which made it more savory, rice is chewy (in between sushi rice and sticky rice) could be a little less rice; the potato threads were crispy and yum Wagyu Perogi - 7.5/10 was good, but not as meat focused as I was hoping, filling was very soft but I like the pasta dough (had some chew) Entrees were cooked well, I think the flavors were straightforward and not too complex. Chicken Wellington - the pastry dough was as buttery as biscuits. Sauce had dates and the dish was on the sweeter side (I prefer more savory entrees so this was not my taste) My partner ordered this and he loved it Miso Black Cod Fish was done well and not dry. Broth was a bit one dimensional to me. I thought my soba noodles were gonna be the brown ones but they were thicker like ramen white noodles The herbs really captured the pho broth well. I've noticed the effort put into the menu was done really well. I feel like with food fusion, I noticed a lot of things do end up getting misspelled but I noticed the accent and spelling were all correct on the menu. Liz was our server and she was very knowledgeable on the menu also!

I was invited to attend a birthday party. I asked about the place and location. I never heard of…read morethis restaurant and the name didn't impress me but I should have known from past experience to keep an open mind. Turns out one of the best surprises of the year. The restaurant is located on the second floor. The first floor has Pickleball courts. Upon walking in the restaurant it is quaint with as full view of the courts. No one seated me since it was a group gathering. I looked over the menu and identified what I wanted to order. I started with a fresh shrimp salad that turned out to be super good and fresh. It was more than enough for two people to eat. I was in the mood for wings and fries and they did not disappoint. The wings were seasoned and fried just without the burnt taste. The fries were equally good and had a unique seasoning that was pleasing to taste. One of the best kept secrets as this restaurant has not been opened long. This is great gathering for family and friends especially if you want to try pickleball and eat. I will definitely add this restaurant to my list. Sorta located in a strange area due to construction but can easily be found just be patient.

The French onion soup was good.. different Wedge salad was a wedge salad. Burger was ok. Only way I'd go back is if I were playing pickle ball on one of the courts in the complex. Outside of that there's no reason to go there

I personally thought it was more of a healthy food store so I was a little bit reluctant to go inside but a friend and I met up and went for dinner. I arrived and was greeted by Da'Shawn who was behind the counter and he had great energy (along with his fellow coworkers) and was very helpful when choosing my ingredients for my build-your-own-bowl. I ended up doing a mixture of rice/spring mix lettuce for the base, chicken, tomato's, sweet potatoes, broccoli and a hint of blue cheese. I topped it off with a drizzle of their Thai vinaigrette. I also had to get a banana & strawberry smoothie which was so good and not watery. 10/10.

I went with the Shroomami: It's packed with organic wild rice, shredded kale, raw beets, cucumbers, and basil. The warm portobello mix and roasted sesame tofu provide such a satisfying, meaty texture. What really ties it all together is the miso sesame ginger dressing. The spicy sunflower seeds give it the perfect crunch in every bite. I ordered an extra dressing because the kale is so dense. This is a great spot for something healthy that doesn't leave you feeling weighed down afterwards.

We had the crab cakes and crab & artichoke dip for apps and our lunch entrees were the fried catfish sandwich with fries and the filet with mashed potatoes and collard greens. For bevvies, we tried their rosé and red zeppelin English ale. All of it, every bit and bite, was 10/10. Food breakdown: - Crab cakes: succulent lump crap meat within a lightly battered and flash fried coating. They come on a bed of arugula with a light dressing and dipping sauce for the cakes. Super yummy! - Crab & artichoke dip: ooey gooey deliciousness, perfect balance of cheese sauce too. You don't have to search for the crab or artichokes. And the fried naan chips were sliced long and thin, and could've been called naan fries actually. Perfect companion for the dip. - Fried catfish sammich: the piece of fish was huge and the batter was good. It came on Texas toast with fixins and tartar sauce. Won't lie, the only thing I wanted for was some hot sauce. That's a me problem... just gotta have hot sauce when I eat fried fish but I didn't ask for any while I was there (they may offer it) and still very much enjoyed the sandwich. - Filet: it was great... hubby got it medium and it arrived perfectly cooked. The Demi glaze sauce was so good and so were the sides. Their collard greens are seasoned up! I said does my auntie work here?! This cuisine is so comfortingly southern and didn't disappoint. Shoutout to our friendly and helpful server, Dan... our food and drinks came out quickly and so did our to-go box. His service was truly top notch. We have been living in Carmel for 5 years and this is one of the best restaurants here. If you're on the fence about trying this place, jump off and make a reservation. You won't regret it.

Our server was attentive and friendly. We ordered the pimento dip and crab cake to start. The dip was not quite as good as we expected based on prior reviews. It was good not great. We enjoyed the crab cakes more which were full of crab. The entrees were the stars though - I had the peach glazed salmon which was cooked perfectly and the glaze was super flavorful. The collard greens were tender and had a tasty smoke flavor. A couple folks had short rib entrees and one had one of the shrimp and grits options. The servings were very hearty especially for the prices. All in our party agreed they would definitely return and happily order the same dish although there are many items on the menu we all want to try. We had seats inside and it was fresh and clean and not too loud despite being busy. Great place!

While picking up an order recently, I had the most amazing conversation with one of the associates. You know how sometimes a quick interaction can completely shift your day? This was one of those moments. She was wearing a shirt with an open heart design that revealed the most beautifully spirited tattoo -- and as someone who loves hearts, it immediately made me smile. It felt like such a small but meaningful connection. As we finalized the order exchange, she generously handed me one of their healthy juices! Completely unexpected and absolutely what I needed in that moment. It brought genuine joy to my day. Their food is always beautifully prepared and thoughtfully packaged, but what truly sets The Garden Table apart is the authentic kindness of their team. The associates don't just serve food .... they serve warmth, presence, and heart. Highly recommend -- whether you're dining in or just picking up.

However the last three visits I have had three different dishes (including ones I had order previously) and all three have tasted like cooking oil. Today I had the caprese toast. I decided to add salmon for added protein. Ya'll, when you see the word 'caprese', you think fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, right? Not cooked, right? Well every item except some mint was cooked. Mushy apples, mushy tomatoes.... coated in a fowl smelling oil. The mushy-ness of it all got to the bread underneath. Then the salmon on top.... it was salmon but it was very, very smoky and it was shredded to appear like.... hate to say it.... cat food. Cat food instantly popped in my mind when I saw my plate. The item I used to love the sweet potato hash but it now has the same problem as the caprese toast. No flavor except that of cooking oil. I also ordered a kids plate with scrambled eggs. Eggs arrived with obvious signs of being over cooked with brown burn marks. Fine for a fried rice at a Chinese restaurant, maybe. But really? This is a brunch place that is supposedly 'health minded'. Eggs shouldn't be dry. I'm sure they also tasted like cooking oil but I didn't try them. I agree with another reviewer that the descriptions of dishes could be better. A cooked caprese??? I wouldn't have ordered it. Two stars are only beause the service here is decent.
