    We finally had the chance to check out Ash & Elm in Carmel, IN -- and honestly, it was pretty mid. I've always loved their ciders, but the dine-in experience fell short. It felt like we were forgotten about shortly after sitting down, likely because there was an event happening in the back. I ordered the Fish & Chips, keeping things soft since I just had my wisdom teeth out, but for $21 I expected something a bit less greasy and more satisfying. My husband had the Mediterranean Bowl and said it was good, but definitely something we could've made at home. Overall, I'll always be a fan of their cider, but probably won't return to the in-person locations -- the food just doesn't feel worth the price. The space itself is modern, clean, and full of pink and plant accents, and our server was kind, so at least the atmosphere was nice.

    Went to eat at Ash and Elm Cider this afternoon. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside on their patio. I ordered the fish and chips which was really good. It's made with a cornmeal batter which is a nice change of pace. Our server was amazing and patient. Looking forward to going back and trying some of their other menu items.

    If you live on the Northside and have been lamenting the drive to Ash & Elm in Indy, your prayers have been answered! The new location in Carmel is just as wonderful as the original restaurant. All the same cider options, plus wonderful flights not just of ciders but of mimosas and Bellinis. And the food options are varied and delicious. We sampled across the menu, and no one was disappointed. Oh, and just this location and not to be missed: cheese curds! And a shout out, too, to the incredible staff. The server overheard me say I wasn't the biggest fan of ciders, and he colluded with the bartender to bring me 3 cider samples he thought I might like. And he was right! They are delicious! But more so, where .else do you get such attentive service?

    Cider brined chicken
    Stephanie L.

    I'm a little torn on this one. I absolutely love their cider and our server was super nice and helpful, but I just wasn't crazy about the food. I got the cider brined chicken and thought it was just okay. I preferred it drowned in the dipping sauce. We also ordered French toast sticks with pumpkin dip, but the sticks were still a little doughy on the inside. Our server was super apologetic and took the French toast sticks off our bill, which was great. I'm just not sure I'd recommend this place on the food or ambience alone. Will be back for the cider though!

    Cider flight

    My husband and I met my sister and BIL here for lunch a couple weekends ago. The host was funny and personable, but our server... not so much. I'm not sure if he was new to the job or just maybe isn't extroverted enough to be a server, but he was not very friendly and hardly checked on us, despite us being seated right by the bar. He also only served 2/4 drink orders and then left to go assist people that had just walked in with their drinks before coming back nearly 10 minutes later to give the other 2 their drink order. We ordered our food and he did not come back to check on us until halfway through eating. No one cleared any empty plates or cider flights from our table during our visit besides my husband's cider flight, while he was still drinking from it. At the end of our meal we had no drinks and no water and our server came over to see if we wanted anything else after we had sat around for a while. We decided to just leave and go somewhere else because the service sucked so bad. We said we didn't want anything else and he responded "so you guys are just hanging out here?" No?? We need to pay our bill and leave. It was just really odd. Seems like a great space and would have loved to stay for another drink, but our server made the trip to this location unpleasant. The patio outside is beautiful, so I would consider coming back when it's warmer out to drink outside and give it another chance.

    This is a cute little tap house. There's a lot of different seating options, but it is small over all. The service was a bit slow at first, but then it got better and the bartenders were great! The bartenders were bringing drinks to people at tables so that slowed them down a bit. The food looked amazing, but we just got apps. The pretzels were standard, and the cheese curds were so good, but some were overcooked and empty shells and it was a bit of a greasy mess. The ciders were all great! We each had 2 flights which were an awesome deal. The flavors were a nice range and there was something for everyone. I would 100% go back!

    This was really my first cider experience and it did not disappoint. Jordan took care of me and my friends from the moment we stepped in. Greeted us very kindly, quickly got us seated, and gave great recommendations. We ended up trying the flights. The seasonal flight is an absolute must if you love Fall. The separate Chocolate Covered Sunset drink is a perfect dessert in a glass. Was able to sit out on the patio on a comfortable night. Warm string lighting and very attentive service made this a great stop on girls night. Thank you Jordan!

    As a symptomatic celiac, most of the time, my reviews are concerned with the safety of an eatery, and if the fare happens to be pleasing, well that's a bonus (if you've been around GF buns for a while you'll appreciate that!). Well let's forget about the fact that this place is recognized by the National Celiac Assoc'n of America... the food is just plain great! We had GF fish and chips and the Fried Chicken Sandwich. Both were outstanding. I got 2 huge chunks of battered cod with homemade tartar sauce. And the gf toast for the chicken sandwich was wonderfully soft. Our one disappointment was that our fries (gf fryer) came cold. To their credit, the staff apologized and brought out a huge bowl of hot ones! And to say sorry, also brought a most yummy hot GF brownie with vanilla ice cream! Food: stellar. Service: outstanding! Very pleased to recommend this place!!

    The kindness and care of this team is greatly appreciated!! The food is great, the food is safe, and we always have the best meal. Our server, Kelsey, told us it was only her second day waiting tables but you couldn't tell. She was knowledgeable and on time. Friendly but never intrusive. It was a great meal and the new gluten free cheesecake is a must! Extra shout out to Brynn the GM for stopping by and hearing our thoughts and going. Above and beyond to take care of us We will be back!!

    Regular cider flight
    Karyn S.

    It was fun to try several ciders in one seating. 3/6 of us got the seasonal flight, which they all enjoyed. I had the regular, which was very good. One at our table had the blood red cider which was excellent and the last one in our group created a custom flight. I'd go for the cider alone. Food was okay - will not be the draw next time. Braised chicken sandwich was more like pulled pork, I just wasn't expecting that style - 6/10. My husband got the steak sandwich and rated it about a 6/10. Cheese curd appy was beer battered. Maple and bacon brussels sprouts were tasty! Best part of the meal. It's local and I like to support those small businesses and will go just for the cider.

    First time at Ash & Elm Cider and I loved the experience! Our waitress was super friendly and prompt. She was actually the one to seat us so she got us drinks right away. We ordered a Cider flight, cheese curds, Caesar salad with chicken and the southwest bowl. Everything was amazing, but the cheese curds blew me away. Probably some of the best cheese curds I've ever had! Fast service, friendly and super nice atmosphere. Will be back for sure!

    I have been to ash and elm a few years ago downtown and kept meaning to check them out now that they are closer. We came here on a Sunday afternoon and sat immediately (although you can also make reservations for potentially busier times on open table) we sat inside but there is a huge patio that looks like it would be nice and fun to enjoy in warm weather! Henry was our server and he was super friendly and able to provide great recommendations. He told us you are allowed to try 2, 1 oz samples for free so tried the sauv blanc cider (made with Daniel's vineyard wine) and fleeting youth. Both good but sauv blanc wine too try for me- might actually be better as a cidermosa! Fleeting youth was decent but a little too much lemon for me. I ended up making my own flight and liked each one. Sunset (year round flavor) is something I've had before and still enjoyed. Also tried purple pride, blueberry, and a blackberry one. All enjoyable! My favorite ended up being something my husband order, Del Camino. The pineapple notes went perfect with the burger of the month that I ordered- 2 patties with cheese, tomato, jalapeño, grilled pineapple, and side of fries. Fries were basic but extra flavor with the garlic aioli. I would get this whole meal again!! Burger was juicy with good flavor and I liked the combo of sweet and spicy toppings but unfortunately it was only for the month of June. We also did get a side of chips and salsa- very basic and fine, but salsa reminds me of what you can buy at a grocery store so I would opt for a different appetizer next time. Everyone seemed to be ordering the cheese curds around us and those looked fantastic. Overall great experience and will come back!

    GF fried chicken sandwich
    Jared M.

    5/5 for Super nice servers who were very helpful with any question regarding their ciders, which is nice because they have quite the selection. They allow two 1oz samples to help you decide. Ended up getting a flight, which was customized. Enjoyed all the ciders I tried. Good quality. Definitely come here for the cider! Unfortunately the food today was maybe 2/5. The chips and salsa were basic and good. The gluten free fried chicken sandwich was unfortunately a disappointment. When I browsed the menu from home before coming I saw the gf sandwich and knew I wanted it...but it was nothing like I imagined. The sandwich was very very greasy/oily likely from whatever thick/crispy breading they use for gf and maybe the bread with butter? It is an additional $2 for the gf bread which was confusing since the sandwich is marked as (gf). The side of fries were good but nothing too special. With this said though, I'm excited to just try a different entree next time. My wife got the seasonal burger and loved it and would get it again! I will definitely come back for more cider and the friendly staff and atmosphere and highly recommend it.

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.

That's actually why I feel compelled to say something - during my visit, I saw an adult man berate a young hostess over the wait time. No one deserves to be spoken to that way, especially not a teenager doing their job in a high-pressure environment. Unfortunately, I've seen this kind of behavior more than once at restaurants, and it needs to stop. If you're frustrated, taking it out on staff is not ok. A little patience and basic respect go a long way. As someone who used to work as a hostess, I know how stressful those moments can be, and I really appreciated how gracefully the team at Juniper on Main handled everything. They deserve a lot of credit. Highly recommend this place, not just for the great food, but for the hardworking, kind staff who keep things running. If you are someone that can't control your temper and you take it out on unsuspecting people, you should order in. Your frustration doesn't give you the right to behave so awful.

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.

It's always correct, always ready when they say it'll be ready, and I always get utensils. The online order shelf is right by the door, so you can just pop in and grab your bag. For those not familiar with Sweetgreen, it's basically like a Chipotle-style fast-casual salad shop. You can create your own salad, or order from their menu of salads and bowls, then add and subtract ingredients, if you wish. My go-to is usually the Shroomami (a mushroom-forward salad), but today I was feeling like something different, so I got the kale Caesar, which is roasted chicken, tomatoes, parmesan crisps, shaved parmesan, shredded kale, chopped romaine, a quarter of a lime to squeeze over everything, and Caesar dressing on the side. Usually, I balk at a Caesar salad that has the dressing on the side. But in this case, I like controlling my own dressing because there is just so much going on with this salad. It says it's a Caesar, and it is ... but it isn't. But it's a great salad anyway. If you are counting calories, you need to watch it with some of these salads. Some of the salads and bowls climb up to the 900+ calorie range! They are packed with good stuff, but they can be calorie-dense. Luckily, the nutrition information is posted on the Sweetgreen website.

I got to share the grape salad with my husband in the car during a road trip, and he really enjoyed it as well. I was craving something good today, and while I was tempted to place the same order, minus the broccoli salad, I decided to be adventurous and try out some new flavors. After doing some research, I landed on the Jalapeno Holly and Buffalo Barclay. I ordered the Sandwich Meal with two sides. I got the Buffalo Barclay on the croissant with lettuce and bacon. My two sides were a scoop of Jalapeno Holly chicken salad and a cup of Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup. I picked up my order in-store and the dining area is just darling! I never use that word as a descriptor, but it just feels fitting. The store was busy. There were tons of folks coming in and out, picking up to-go orders and several people were seated at the inviting tables and booths in the large, but warm dining area. My meal came with several packs of crackers to accompany my scoop of chicken salad, a pickle (I don't remember receiving one with my previous order), and the individually wrapped cookie. The soup was warm and delicious. It needed a bit of salt and pepper, but it was very creamy and filling. I ate it first. Then, I dove into the Jalapeno Holly with the crackers. Sooo good! At this point, I doubt that I'll find a variety of their chicken salad that I don't like. I'm a fan. The food is delicious and light, but filling. I feel healthy eating it. I don't know that it is, but we'll go with it's healthy! Btw, the cookie is the perfect little sweet treat at the end...beginning or middle of your meal!

The salad was delicious but the soup could have been a little hotter. The soup tasted made from scratch and was good. My husband had a Carole's on a Croissant with a Broccoli Salad side. The sandwich was huge and tasty. The Broccoli salad was fresh with crispy bacon. He lived his lunch. The dining room is cute and clean with lots of seating. They have outdoor seating as well. The staff is friendly and efficient. The restrooms are clean. Parking is close in the little strip mall. I'll be back.
