We loved our visit to 101 Craft Kitchen. We stopped in for Happy Hour (4-6 pm) before going to a sporting event. The restaurant is upscale, lovely and romantic. We sat at a high top table in the bar. Our server, Bailey (the bartender), was friendly and super attentive. She made recommendations and kept glasses filled. The craft beer selection is excellent with about 16 local options on tap. My husband had a Fall City "Hipster Repellent". The name alone is interesting, but he loved his beer. I had the Espresso Martini which came with roasted coffee beans floating on top. My cocktail went down easy. I also had a glass of the Berringer Chardonnay. The pour is generous. We shared a plate of Loaded Tots, which was wonderful. The tots are made from scratch in-house and covered with roasted bits of pork belly, cheese, a sauce and green onions. We LOVED the tots, which came out super hot. We also shared a plate of the Loaded Hummus. The plate is beautiful and colorful. The hummus is fresh made and loaded with bits of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and is delicious on a balsamic reduction. The hummus is served with a generous portion of fresh in-house made focaccia bread which tasted amazing. The Loaded Hummus is a winner in my book. Bailey our server was fabulous. She worked the entire bar and was an ambassador of the chef and menu. I wish we had time to stay for dinner because the food is outstanding. Each dish that we saw pass by looked delicious and artistic. I highly recommend. We will be returning for dinner soon. Easy 5 stars! We found street parking, but parking was limited. read more

We've ordered from here quite a few times for delivery. I really enjoyed the lemon chicken dinner. What we mostly order is their kids meals. We watch our calories and so kids meals work best. You get a protein and choice of two sides. We get green beans and fruit. And it also comes with a cookie. The food is pretty good. It does not always come the same and what I mean by that is sometimes the green beans will have no seasoning at all and then sometimes they will. Of course I prefer the seasoning but if none, I just quickly season them myself. I do hope to visit soon and eat inside the restaurant and will leave another review. read more

Service continues to be excellent and the happy hour is still a great value. While I realize their identity is that they change their menu seasonally, we're simply disappointed that many of the things we have loved to order are not currently on the menu. We always enjoyed the blue cheese potatoes, gnocchi, and perogies, but in particular we very much miss the crab and roasted artichoke toast, which was unlike anything we have had anywhere else and may have been my favorite dish going anywhere. We are grateful at least that they haven't eliminated the pretzels, which are also unique from any other (although we miss the cheese ball it used to be served with). Will return the 5th star when they release my menu items that have been taken hostage. read more

Celebrated Mother's Day here with an early dinner and I'm glad we did because it started to fill up. I've shamelessly had 101 from delivery a few times and was excited to take my family here. The menu switches seasonally and I currently preferred the winter/fall menu, but that's just my flavor palate! Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. Definitely will continue to dine in and to go ;) read more

Great staff, great food and great decor. First time at 101 as it was recommended to me since they have a lot of GF options and so happy we tried it. Food was delicious with a very nice presentation and a great price. Ingredients were fresh. Brunch until 3pm so we did that but will definitely be back for lunch or dinner. Large tap of diverse range of beer and a full bar for other beverages. Also Diet coke! read more

101 Craft Kitchen - Breakfast burrito without the flour tortilla. - New American Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

Cozy restaurant/bar with a rustic feel. Friendly staff greeted us and seated us quickly. We were here early so no crowd yet. They do take reservations as well. They offer gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Makes it friendly for many diets. Husband got the Fish & Chips. Beer battered cod served with a side of Parmesan fries. Fish batter was crispy and fries were tasty. He recommends not putting the fish on top of the fries for presentation as it made them greasy. I had Brown Butter Gnocchi. It was nice but could use a little more seasoning or a sauce of some kind. We tried the Sun King Pachanga lager. Very nice beer. Will purchase this one again. Overall a pleasant enough experience. We will be back to try other menu options even though the two we chose were slightly disappointing. We like to try a place a few times before passing final judgement and will update this review in the future. read more

Visited tonight for dinner. First of all our server, Kelly, was great. She made it a great experience right off the bat. The food was so good. Two in our party had the Mediterranean salmon and raved about it. Shrimp and grits was also really solid - shrimp tasted super fresh. Drinks were really good as well. It's been a minute since we've been to this place but it won't be long till we will be back. read more

My girlfriend's and I came here for lunch. First time in this place. It was nice inside of the restaurant and it was fairly quiet. The bartender waited on us and he did an excellent job of explaining the menu and telling us what the top sellers were. This helped to make our decision easier because we were definitely wavering between items because everything sounded so good. I started with a cocktail, the Ginger Hemingway, it was light and refreshing. I ordered their signature Ale and Cheddar soup as well as the small plate Brussels Sprouts. Both of those menu items were delicious, the tanginess of the glaze on the brussel sprouts along with the bacon made this my favorite dish. My friends ordered the Black Garlic Caesar salad and the Toasted Turkey Panini and they both said they enjoyed their meals. We did order dessert as well. We ordered the Apple Butter Cake. This dessert was a big dessert, the butter cake came topped with vanilla bean ice cream and warm apple glaze with bits of apple in it. Definitely get the dessert! We will definitely come back here as there were several other things I wanted to try on the menu as well as another dessert. read more

I met someone here for happy hour before walking the monon. I called ahead to ensure I could bring my dog, and they said I could have her on the patio. We had great server who was friendly and attentive. My cocktail and appetizer were well presented and tasty. I look forward to going again and trying other items on the menu. The patio was comfortable, spacious and clean. Parking in the garage was easy and stress free. read more

Came here for the first time on a random Saturday afternoon for a late lunch early dinner. We did not have reservations, so they only saw us at the bar, even though the rest of the dining room was wide open It is located in a residential building where there's apartments or condos on top and there's ample parking on the main ground and below ground in the garage. The parking is also free luckily We were greeted at the hostess table by five teenagers who were civilized, but looked a little shocked that we didn't have a reservation. Our waitress and service was very nice. She brought over one sample of a cider and I did end up ordering that exact drink. It is a guava cider. When you sit in the bar area, you basically get to pick anywhere you wanna sit because it was empty and there's no reservations and there's a lot of TVs, which is great. The menu for the bar area is the same menu for the rest of the restaurant. We ordered the hot chicken sandwich which I think had pimento cheese on it and then also the chicken gumbo. The fries on and the chicken sandwich itself were incredible. The gumbo was OK, but was more like a chili rather than a gumbo. It was difficult trying to find the sausage the chicken, the okra etc. The appetizers were absolutely incredible. There was the fried green tomato stack which cost more than the regular fried green tomatoes because I think it comes with sauces and the bacon. And it was absolutely fantastic. The loaded tots were also surprisingly amazing because it was not the frozen tater tots, but rather someone would take mashed potatoes put them up into a ball and fried them. These were delicious. I would definitely come back to check them out and try other foods and other beers here. Now I know I should make a reservation. read more

Dinner: fish & chips for Jay. I'm having the wedge salad and the cheddar ale soup. We also splitting an appetizer of blue cheese potatoes which are really good. I've been to their other location in Fischer Indiana. It's a great craft kitchen. You have to try the blue cheese potatoes. They are really good and have a great flavor profile. The ale soup cheese was delicious and J loved his fish and chips. The fresh cod was a nice touch. He didn't care for the coleslaw so much. The weed salad was very unique and full flavor. First time I had a wedge salad using Romaine hearts instead of an iceberg wedge. The homemade blue cheese dressing is a must have on any sound that they offer. The service was great. The waiter was very attentive to our needs. Even on a busy night. The atmosphere was great we got to sit outside and the glass in porch which had plenty of room and lighting and was very warm as well. They must stop if you're in Carmel, Indiana. read more

Very very good food, bar service has no clue how to poor wine. This is 2nd glass after calling out the 1st and they were both very short. There is no excuse for this after we ordered 4 appetizers with 5 people and we all ordered entree's. Please do better 101 Craft!! read more

Finally tried 101 Craft Kitchen when some colleagues were in town and we needed a good meal after a long day of meetings. The beer options are best found on Untapped with the QR code but they also have a cocktail menu and wines. There is happy hour from 4-6 Monday-Friday but we had missed the cutoff when we arrived. We appreciated the variety of the menu and the options for small plates when not quite as hungry. I loved the brown butter gnocchi and absolutely would get it again. One of my colleagues had the Apple & Brie Grilled Cheese that I will likely order next time since it looked and smelled incredible. The grilled cheese comes with butternut squash soup that provides perfect dipping! We sat indoors but I am curious to try out the all season patio on a future visit! read more

I recommend this place to everyone. We have brought friends for dinner, sat in the bar area for lunch, & even brought my sister's family and kids. This is actually a great spot for families, the kids menu is exceptional! They get an entree, 2 sides, a drink, & a dessert I think for $9? The food comes out on a tray for the kids so all the food is separate. My niece and nephews loved it! The staff have been really friendly and knowledgeable every time we have dined here. I love that you can make reservations on open table! My favorite thing on the menu is the Lemon pepper chicken without feta! Delicious! Cooked perfectly, crispy edge, & a nice portion. I love the seating because they have a lot of booths that can fit groups, they also have larger tables for groups in the back room and lots of outdoor seating. I lived up the road and regret never coming last summer, we will definitely request outdoor as soon as it warms up again. Other honorable mentions on the menu include: the roasted beet and apple salad, black garlic salad, my husband loooves the apple and Brie grilled cheese with butternut squash soup. I've only disliked one entree here and that was the pecan chicken it was very soupy almost like the green beans weren't drained well I have no idea but it was not good, however everything else has been great! Lastly, you should finish off your meal with the buckeye pie! You won't regret it. Editing to add: Audrey was an excellent server, very attentive, just super nice and you don't get good service like that everywhere!! & the male bartender during the day was personable, happy guy, knowledgeable of the menu, & I want to say his name started with a J, but I could be totally wrong. read more

Thought we would try this place out as the reviews were pretty consistent. We were NOT disappointed! We had a late lunch/ early dinner. Stevie our bartender/ waitstaff was AWESOME! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience! Stevie was very knowledgeable and educational on the questions we asked her about the food. I had the salmon and my better half had the new York strip. Clean bathrooms and on a Sunday the parking garage was pretty open. Definitely will be back! We've got to try the desserts! Thanks Stevie read more

The selection of food and beverages, twenty beers on tap and full bar along with an extensive menu including several German selections of specific interested provide for offerings for nearly everyone. Service was excellent, timing by our server was excellent keeping our water glasses full, beverages refreshed and empty plates and silverware cleared! The interior of the restaurant is very well done. Comfortable and inviting yet not overdone. This may be the most pleasant bar/restaurant experience in a casual environment in all of Hamilton County! @indydiner read more

Came here with my foodie group to take advantage of the Devour menu which looked very interesting. The hostess were welcoming and acknowledged us right away. This place is much bigger inside than you would think. It is nicely furnished with a very cool bar area. It seems to be quite welcoming for groups, and I really appreciated that. It's rare nowadays. I opted for the field salad as my starter and it was one of the best salads I have ever enjoyed. The dressing was a nice vinaigrette, perfectly balanced and mighty tasty. It was also the perfect amount of dressing. The salad had plenty of greens, small pieces of various other veggies, a few croutons and was topped with crumbles of goat cheese. Yummm. Others at my table enjoyed the crab gazpacho and the tomato bruschetta, both got good reviews. On to the main course. I chose the Asian short ribs. OMG, another perfect dish. The glaze on those ribs was so very tasty. The sheer amount of meat though. I took half of mine home in the end. The accompanying soba salad wasn't my favorite unfortunately. It lacked flavor. I was too busy with my entree and paid no attention to the comments regarding the other mains my guests ordered. But I do remember the side of mac and cheese the guest next to me ordered. I did get a taste of those and even so I don't care much for mac n cheese, these were phenomenal. I even asked for a few more bites. wow. But the highlight was the chocolate creme brule... all of us who had ordered this dessert were in heaven. every single one of us took their first bite, closed our eyes, a huge yummmmm and just had that satisfied look on our faces. We all had 'a moment' with this one. OMG I would bathe in that if I could. The creme was so rich , smooth but not overly sweet. It had the slightest little crunch from the caramelized sugar on top. Whipped creme and fresh strawberry on top... this was the best creme brule of m y life read more

A little strange beginning. Saturday evening and went in for a table for 4, the hostess said, "reservations?" We said no, she kinda looked at us like we were making her work, and said, I'll have to check. As we walked back, there were at least a half a dozen tables unoccupied, so maybe they were short staffed, who knows. The outdoor patio was also open, but the lady didn't even ask if we wanted indoor or outdoor, again it seemed like we were inconveniencing her. Oh well. The staff was pleasant, attentive and polite. Eldin did a fine job, considering he said it was his first Shift. The Champagne Margarita was good, as well as the Nirvana or Bust brew. We needed to use the QR code to retrieve the on tap brews. The burger was cooked perfectly. Full fk flavor and good size. The fries had Parmesan sprinkled on them and at times, it was a little over powering. However, really good meal. The Casado bowl was tasty! The southwest chicken wrap was a five star. The buffalo chicken and Mac and cheese was delicious and a huge portion. Overall, good evening and delicious food! read more

First time trying it and it was a great experience. Has a very chill vibe. Not too loud. Outdoor seating with firepit. Groups of all ages. Menu was good, easy to find something. Got the mahi mahi sandwich. It was pretty good. I liked that it came with plantains but not sure if it paired well with the sandwich. The fries were good. And got to try the couscous bc they accidently brought that out instead of fries but allowed me to keep it. Big drink menu. Lots of beers to choose from, some from a menu and others from a QR code. Got the fatheads crumble berry, which was very good. Recommend coming here! Will be back! read more

I always thoroughly enjoy my meal at this place! I was celebrating a house closing so came here afterwards to have lunch and a celebratory cocktail. The champagne margarita was perfect for the job. I paired it with the blackened grouper sandwich and the bartender recommended the watermelon feta salad as my side. He was not wrong, the watermelon salad took the show of the meal. it was deliciously fresh, inventive, and interesting. The blackened grouper sandwich was perfectly prepared, had a nice blackening on it that was offset by the sweet sauce. Overall, a lovely lunch-their menu never disappoints. read more

Arrived during happy hour and ordered a few appetizers. Expecting smaller portions but both were generous: foccacia with whipped ricotta and crab Artichoke dip. We also ordered the salmon and beet salad. We mentioned to the server we were going to split them and they split them on separate plates for us which was a nice touch. Overall nice vibe and friendly service. read more

Another miss here this time. If I could do half stars I would say 3.5, because we enjoyed the dip. But unfortunately the rest of the food didn't deliver. They were packed so I can understand the very slow service. However the food didn't live up to our expectations. I had the Black and Blue salad with filet medallions ordered medium. They were overcooked and difficult to eat. Our waitress never checked in after receiving our food, so I ate around that add on. Hubs got the Fish and Chips and wasn't impressed. The batter was a lot heavier than expected. He wouldn't order it again. Another person ordered the Canada Bowl and loved it. We did enjoy the Devils on Horseback dip. The atmosphere is nice and trendy and the location is perfect for going to a show at the Palladium. read more

This was my first time at 101 Beer Kitchen. We went during happy hour which is from 4-6pm Monday-Friday in the bar area only. During happy hour you can get half price appetizers and cocktails. We went with the Devil on Horseback dip which was a Ricotta Dip, Applewood Bacon, Date Chutney, Hot Honey & Crostinis. It was so good. I would definitely get it again. It all went together wonderfully. We also go the Blarney nachos, Crispy Parmesan Fries topped w/ Corned Beef Gravy & Swiss Cheese. They were not my favorite. In my opinion the gravy needed something. And the fries got soggy really quickly. For dessert we spilt the Peanut Butter Oreo pie, Oreo Crust, Peanut Butter Mousse, Whipped Cream, Chocolate Sauce & Chopped Peanuts. It was really good. Very creamy pie. Service was good. We had 3 different people checking in on us in the bar. I am looking forward to going back and trying the Fall grilled cheese with the butternut squash soup. read more

We went to 101 Beer Kitchen after visiting the very busy Christkindlmart. I had the pork schnitzel, my family had the Mac and cheese with buffalo chicken, burger, plantain, salad and the chicken Parmesan sandwich. The water that we were given tasted like bleach water. Not the fault of the restaurant but it was tough to drink and our server was no where to be found. We were sat in the very back of the restaurant and it was extremely hot. They sat 8 of us at a table that was meant for about 6. I had to cross my legs to make room for the others at my table. My pork was bland, I felt like it needed a sauce. My son loved his meal and we all enjoyed the desserts. read more

We went back, because the food was good. Once again, the food was excellent. Great service for a late arrival and no rush (our server told us they had plenty to do so we were welcome to relax and finish our drinks). We ate in a smaller, more cozy bar area. This was nice compared to the larger area. They have a covered outdoor area as well as street side tables. These areas will be super nice in the spring and summer (which could happen any time of year here in Indiana). I had the Creole Walleye. It was simply delicious. The polenta was just crispy and the remoulade was creamy. Taste was great and the textures were perfect. My husband had the chicken parmesan (his go to). We will be back. read more

The restaurant is casual and family friendly suburban urban feel, with southern flair that highlights fried green tomatoes and carpaccio options for appetizers which was odd combination. I got a draft beer which the offer in growlers if inclined to carry out. The bar is 3/4 of main dining room. They have nice scallop shaped booths on perimeter of main dining room that share main walkway. There is a northeast facing patio for outdoor dining. Food was crafted well, I had the bone-in porkchop I would order again. Well cooked (little dry) but seasoned and topped with pickled onion and arugula on a bed of corn chutney and mashed potato. My bride got a Pancetta chicken breasts with russet potatoes and subbed asparagus vs green beans. The asparagus was not trimmed well and overcooked. We agreed the sauce should be requested on the side due to volume. We will return and like to try handheld option smashburger. read more
