    Mushroom stroganoff
    Pat G.

    Finally made it. Everything I thought it was. Service fantastic. The tuna appetizer is a blend of textures. I really came for the mushroom stroganoff and it did not disappoint. Salmon was crispy but perfectly medium. Oh and the doughnut and coffee ice cream..Can't wait to return.

    Treated ourselves to an upscale experience. Food, drinks, and service didn't disappoint. In fact this was one of the best service I've had in a long time. They made it look effortless, though I know it's anything but. Bravo! If you like trying new ways of experiencing foods this is a good place to try. My only complaint is the noise level inside; I'm not sure how they could mitigate that, though. I did notice there's outdoor seating, which would be lovely in the warmer seasons. The experience comes at a pretty penny, but I'd look forward to returning for another special occasion.

    Pork Belly

    Went to dinner with the dinner club I started. We had the carrots and Brussels sprouts for starters. Devoured. I had the pork belly entree and it was fabulous. The atmosphere and service at Freeland's is top notch to match the food and cocktails.

    Duck in a pomegranate molasses au jus
    Patricia M.

    Update: This time I ordered the lobster bisque as a starter and it had a pleasant kick which the server had warned me about. The bisque was delicious and had some actual lobster in it which is always good but the hit was the tarragon marshmallow. Omg- wow. The two other starters ordered were the beets and the carrots. The beet presentation was a masterpiece of color and they were delicious. The carrots stole the show. They were in a Szechuan sauce and had such a meaty texture. Wonderful. I joked that next time I might just order a bunch of starters. I love they give you a small glass champagne as a starter. I ordered the duck again and it was delicious. The au jus was perfect. I do wish again that there were a few more vegetables or that at least the ones I received were cut a bit larger. Others ordered the sablefish in parchment and the pork belly. Both were pronounced quite good. I do wish that they provided bread instead of you having to pay for it especially given the prices. Service was excellent. The place is still very noisy. My one big gripe is to receive an email a few hours before our reservation informing me that Freelands was allocating me two hours for my meal and if I had 3 or 4 people in the party they would graciously allow an additional 15 minutes! I understand they need to plan and turn tables but we spent about $400 on this meal so I didn't appreciate I having to worry about how much time I was spending there. If Freelands is going to keep that policy then that information should be provided when making the reservation- not a few hours before dinner.

    I absolutely loved my experience at Freeland's. The food was so delicious. I also have allergies and they were able to accommodate those allergies so well. The staff is very attentive and it seems like they had a reasonable number of tables so they were always checking in making sure everything was good. The sommelier was very knowledgeable picked out a bottle for us to have with our dinner. I love that they greet you with a little bit of bubbly. The restaurant can get a little noisy, but I think it comes with the ambience of being in a repurposed home. It's very cozy very homey. I will say because this is situated in a neighborhood area. Parking is a little slim, but with that said there is a complex a few blocks up where you can park with no problem. Just plan ahead give yourself some extra time to find parking if you have a reservation, which I definitely recommend a reservation. The menu does change so i'll be back again to try some additional dishes.

    We celebrated our anniversary in May with an incredible dinner at this new establishment in Carmel, Indiana, from the owner's of Tinker Street. The menu is influenced by Eastern European cuisine, giving a nod to the previous home's owner of Hungarian descent. The original structure is an 18th century home that has been largely gutted while preserving elements like exposed brick . I loved every detail, like the chef-driven menu, mismatched china from estate sales. Wonderful craft cocktails. Knowledgeable servers. And who doesn't love to start their night with the little glass of complementary bubbly? And just 7 minutes from our house. We will be back really soon.

    This was a delightful surprise! I've driven by this multiple times and had no idea this was located where it is! Rich with history and a cozy and welcoming interior, Freeland's was the best place to have dinner with my friend. We were greeted by the sommelier with a tasting of a Spanish cava and that just set the tone for the evening. Our server, Mitch, was beyond knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions and lead us down the right path. We started with the alpine nachos and the carrots. I love both potatoes and carrots, but these dishes were special. The alpine nachos had some bacon and raclette cheese, which as far as I'm concerned, makes everything better. I chose the parsnip soup while my friend had the lobster bisque which came with a tarragon marshmallow!! What?!? The bisque did have a kick, but both were great! For my entree, I went with the miso salmon and ordered medium well. It was melt in your mouth delicious! We had no room, but ordered dessert anyway. Ricotta donuts with Nutella ice cream because the coffee ice cream didn't set and the plum flan. Both unique and amazing! I also had the tequila banana liqueur drink and while strong, very smooth! This place is so perfect! Everyone was so friendly! A kind of hidden gem that I'm so glad I tried!

    It looks like 3 people get 2 hours and 15 min to clarify. Maybe give us a timer or something so I could say we still have 15-20

    Getting kicked out for spending too much time here for my wife's birthday. Food took way too long and was over seasoned and overdone. My mother hosted us and is pretty mad as well, she wanted me to say that. Just make it into an apartment building just like the rest of this block......... on my way out, sorry I just got informed that our limit is 2 hours. Well how about kick us out at 2 hours not 1 hour and 45 min. Two different people tried to force us out before 1 hour and 50 min... Now at the time of this post I am required to leave. Goodbye

    Service was excellent, food presentation and flavor outstanding and ambiance inviting and comfortable not white table cloth stuffy. This place has a southern charm that makes you forget you're in Carmel. We'lll be back!

    Buratta with Brussels. Really nice.
    rod m.

    We had a nice meal. Privately managed and well executed dishes. The Burrata is good, with brussels and sourdough toast that was solid appetizer. Really nice to share. The Korean Pork Belly was full flavored dish and well executed dish. Sweet and spicey with black rice. The old fashioned has a cinnamon kick with Angle Envy.

    OMG! Support this delicious restaurant!!!! We tossed around the idea to come here or somewhere else and our party who has visited before, preferred Freelands! I've never been and my husband was concerned it was too limited??? He was wrong wrong wrong!!!!! We had a late reservation and they let me know they had earlier times. We had a great table near the kitchen, chefs table is what they called it and greeted with rose prosecco toast! Everything we ordered was delicious!!!! And the roast chicken was everyone's favorite! Recommend the Skeleton Key if you're looking for a bevvie! The flavors were spot on! Not too sweet! Bethany took very good care of us and we will be back! See the pics for drooling!

    the governess cocktail
    Josie M.

    I wish I could give a 4.5, but 4 it is. I just don't think they've ironed out the wrinkles yet. It's a pretty minimalistic restaurant decor wise. Nothing about the ambiance is all that jaw dropping, but it's clean and nice with a big window into the kitchen, which I always enjoy. I got the governess cocktail, which had pear, early gray and grey goose. It was so unique and fantastic. I'd absolutely get it again. As for the food, we started with the varenyky. I'm Ukrainian, so to hear them absolutely butcher the pronunciation of the dish was really sad. The wait staff should really know how to pronounce the dishes they are serving no matter the ethnicity. They tasted delicious though. They were pan fried, with some cabbage, carrots, and parsley served over a tasty puree. This was my favorite dish of the night. We then had the Brussels sprouts. Overall, they were very much not cooked through. The flavors were fantastic though - hazelnuts, parsley, a garlicky creamy sauce on top and some grapefruit to balance out the dish. Lastly, we had the moussaka. I can't say I've had moussaka all that often, but it tasted good. The aligot really completed the entree. The desserts, when read on the menu, were a bit too much a risk to order? I wanted something to really send me over the edge with its flavor profile and interesting twist, but each option either had apricot, orange, lemon or raisins which I wasn't in the mood for. I'll definitely go again to see how they improve with time, but there are definitely big shoes to fill being tinker street's sister restaurant.

    Truly outstanding and exceptionally elevated dining experience at Freeland's in Carmel, Indiana, the other night while celebrating with colleagues post a training. From start to finish, everything felt thoughtfully curated and special. We were welcomed with a complimentary blush champagne tasting to kick off the evening, and we toasted to friendship and time together. Our server was tremendously fun and engaging, keeping the energy high all night and making the experience feel even more celebratory. Their cocktails were creative and beautifully balanced. I went with the seasonal tomato basil martini, which completely won me over. I'm a fan of savory, dirty-martini drinks, and this one delivered beyond expectation. My friends ordered the Dew Drops and the Fig & Walnut Negroni, and we all agreed they were fantastic (and of course, we sampled each other's). For starters, we shared three appetizers. The roasted carrots were our collective favorite, bursting with flavor and perfectly executed. The apple salad followed closely behind, bright and refreshing. The tandoori cauliflower was tasty, though the only dish that could have been slightly more elevated in flavor or presentation. For my entrée, I ordered the pumpkin gnocchi with chicken sage meatballs, which was absolutely incredible and full of cozy fall vibes. My friends chose the Tuna Tataki and the Sakura Farm Pork Belly, both of which were beautifully plated and met with equally loved reviews by them. Overall, Freeland's impressed us on every level - the ambiance, service, presentation, and taste. A perfect spot for a special evening out in Carmel. I was very enamored with the aesthetic of the modern meets vintage farmhouse and took a bunch of pics that I will share! Highly recommend and hope to return whenever in the area again!

    What is the $$$ signs for this restaurant?

    I believe it means that we are considered a more upscale restaurant :) and therefore our starting price point might be a little higher than a more relaxed restaurant environment.

    Went tonight after a production at the Booth Tarkington and was really looking forward to relaxing…read morewith an apertif in a cozy setting. We went for a 3:00 show on a Sunday such that by the time we got out, it was 6:00-still early. It was in the 30's outside and already dark (thanks DLS time). Yet as we reached the top of the stairs to the lobby I was immediately disappointed that there was no fire lit in the fireplace. There were only three parties in the place. One was around the corner in the adjoining sitting area and may or may not have been drinking. There were two couples at the bar, where we considered also sitting. But the only empty spot for two had two dirty drink glasses from a previous patron still sitting. So we opted for the leather couch and chair in the main area just across from the bar. And that's where we waited, and waited, for almost 30 minutes, before giving up on getting served (or acknowledged). There was only one bartender, so we were fine with going up to order but communication would have been helpful. We stood at the bar while she chatted with the two couples, who'd all been served. We couldn't really figure out what she was doing as she seemed busy-ish yet wasn't serving, or clearing, or washing, and we were chatting between ourselves and didn't really give it much thought. Then she said she was out of something and was leaving the bar to go fetch it. We asked her to let us know when she was ready to serve us, and we took our seats to resume our conversation. The bartender returned after a while, and she served one of the original couples ... for another 10 minutes at least. Again we were talking so, while an irritation, it was in the background. About 50 minutes into our visit, she came over and took our drink order. This was my third or fourth visit, and I'd ordered my drink, an old fashioned, before and knew what to expect: bourbon of choice, Luxardo cherry, and a dehydrated orange slice. Ten minutes later we got our drinks. Now mind you, my friend ordered a glass of wine. Nothing time consuming about that. She noted that her pour was smaller than the other times she'd been there. Mine came with the whisky cube already on its way to melted, a broken (a.k.a. piece of) cherry and a twist. What? Where's my glorious little crunchy orange wheel of goodness? I had spied them on the bar earlier. No soup for me! Also, and I can't be sure 100% sure of this, but I tasted neither bitters nor syrup. Was this really just a bourbon rocks? It took a minute but we realized this gal cannot tend and talk at the same time. My friend commented that she had no idea what will happen when the place gets busy, as it has been every other time I've been there. We left after 8:00, after one drink, and for me, $21 lighter. Yeah, it's pricey. And the Carmichael crowd is a discriminating one. So we expected better. Much, much better.
