I still think their Mac and cheese is one of the best if not the best around. We got their ice cream, cheese board, Mac and cheese, and stone fruit salad. Definitely very filling and very delicious. The salad was surprisingly tasty even though I usually don't like salads. Service is friendly and prompt. Would recommend reserving.

I love that the menu rotates seasonally. They have an amazing cheese collection so I always started with the cheese board. Last time I got the French toast and Rhubarb pie. Leave space for the ice cream because it's incredible! The staff is so kind and have always treated me and my friends well. I can't wait to be back and eat here again.

It's probably not surprising that Coxhall Mansion is within the Coxhall Gardens location in Carmel…read more Both are event venues exclusive to Ritz Charles, though they fall under the Hamilton County Parks leadership. I stumbled across it today while out driving around and waiting for an event I was attending. The mansion is a historic mansion that was inspired by the Governor's Mansion in Williamsburg, VA. It has multiple options for several events and has been updated by Hamilton County Parks. From the looks of things, those updates continue to be implemented. As a historic mansion, accessibility isn't perfect. Things have been made as accessible as possible - Hamilton County, in general, tries to do that. Event space on the main floor has space for 80 people for a sit-down event. If the patio is included, you could have 100 sit-down or 120 standing. There's also a third-floor music room that has space for 40 sit-down. If you need a larger space, Coxhall Gardens has several other options including an amphitheatre. It's super weird to think that this was a home. The land started with the John Williams family (No, not the Star Wars composer). They were early Hamilton County settlers and moved here in 1855. 10 years later, they built the Victorian home that still stands. Bricks were even made on-site. In 1958, a 40-year-old Jesse Cox and his wife would make a bid on the property - it was initially denied, however, a year later the property was still for sale. Finally, they were able to acquire it. In 1999, they donated it to Hamilton County Parks. Due to its historic nature, the mansion is often viewed separately from the rest of the gardens. This entire complex is pretty mesmerizing, however, Carmel has a long history of weaving together luxury, history, and practicality and this mansion is a great example.

I had the chance to attend a wedding reception at Ginger Event Center, a Northwest side of Indy…read moreevent center near St. Vincent Hospital that offers a fairly straightforward set-up in terms of modest-sized events. Ginger Event Center is honestly what I'd call a more "working class" event center. It's nice, though I'd hesitate to call it anything resembling luxurious. For a young couple starting out, it was a solid option for a simple yet meaningful wedding reception that offered enough room to have fun, socialize, and also honor the current climate of social distancing. The good news is that a Ginger Event Center rental is a full-day rental. These days, it seems like most venues are doing rentals for a few hours or a 1/2 day or whatever. With Ginger, you get the day. The venue is wheelchair friendly including an accessible restroom stall. As a wheelchair user, you'd be amazed how often this is not the case even in high-end event centers. They offer linen rental. You can bring in your own food, own beverages, and alcohol (though they do have bar packages and a cool bar area). They have ample free parking. Ginger provides tables and chairs and everything was set up nicely upon arrival. The owner will recommend vendors if you need help. From what my friends noted, the owner was quite helpful. Ginger also includes an audio-visual system (somewhat low-to-mid range in my estimation), a dressing room, a patio area (admittedly, not the most attractive area for a patio), a food prep area, and a bar area. Seating square footage is around 3,500 square feet. Typical capacity is around 200 with a dance floor (which was used in the event I attended). I would say Ginger is a solid option for the area. It's certainly not a destination event center. If you're seeking high-end, look elsewhere. However, this is an attractive and functional event center for small to moderate-sized weddings, special events, religious celebrations, etc. I'm not aware that they have a non-profit rate and I doubt I'd do much in the way of "performance" type events here. However, it served nicely for this very special evening and, most importantly, the newly married couple was happy to gather with family and friends.

If you are looking for a venue where you can bring in your own food, beverages and alcohol plus…read morefree parking this might be your place. The 4,000 sq. ft. venue rents for $1,500 and provides tables and chairs and everything else is the renters responsibility including tableware and clean up. The owner has vendors he can recommend if you do not have your own. This is an unusual concept compared to most other venues we've worked with. The dining tables were set up and dressed when we were there. There isn't a lobby so you walk directly into the room. The room is basically split into two large areas for dining tables and a versatile open floor (think dance floor or silent auction tables), a nice bar area, a very small kitchen, a nice men and women's restroom and a tiny open area in front of the restrooms which I didn't think should be congested. All unloading/loading of supplies has to go through the front door as their large storage unit sits at the back door. You can enter here but you can't pull up close to the door. Not a problem unless you're unloading trucks of silent auction items plus much more in our case. The owner was pleasant and working with several of us during my appointment. He answered all of our questions and had setup ideas trying to help me resolve the issues I saw due to space restraints. With all of our space requirements, it was determined the venue was just to small for our annual auction. In addition, we'd need a ton more volunteers for catering, bussers, servers and bartenders or increase our budget. Great concept for those who prefer to take control of the catering, bar, and manage every aspect of your event.

They did tell us that for Children under 10, the guardian has to do the hooks - so they put the kids in their harnesses and then gave us a lesson. Your fee includes required shoes that they provide for you to climb. There are cubbies where you can leave your things. I did notice they had a decent Fitness center for members - cardio, weights etc. They also had an area with a Couch, Foosball and some board games You can bring your own snacks, they did have a couple of picnic tables and has water and Gatorade for sale. They've got lockers (assuming for members and their gear) and so many different climbing opportunities. This particular setting seemed way more formal than some of the other climb centers we've been to. There were a lot of adults using different techniques and pulley systems to climb- I'm not familiar enough with all of the technology, but if you're a serious climber, this may be a better place for you to train and prepare for a real climb. They also appear to offer training classes as well as summer camps for the kids, it looks like they have quite the community here
