Seth D.

Modern, spacious two-level layout with a great casual vibe, though parking definitely looks like it could get tight during peak hours. Service was on point from start to finish, and the martinis were fantastic. For food, we tried the Hot Honey Chicken and Kickin' Fried Chicken sandwiches--both had good base flavor, but they came out a bit dry and didn't deliver the heat you'd expect from the names. Worth stopping in for drinks and the atmosphere, but the chicken sandwiches could use some tweaking.

This is such a fun place. Definitely a diverse crowd, which is always fun. The drinks were great, and the food was pretty good. The flatbread had great taste, but the flatbread came with garlic cloves on top instead of the garlic, being chopped or minced in some way. Biting into a huge piece of garlic was definitely not the highlight of my night. Other than that really great place and amazing staff!

I've been to this location multiple times and I'm usually very happy with the service, food and drinks! Stopped in for lunch today and it was pretty quiet which was perfect for us! Had the bbq chicken salad for the first time and it was perfect - love their loaded tots as well!

Grabbed lunch with our dogs. We love that the patio is dog friendly. Great shaded spot if you need to escape from the summer heat. We each enjoyed a martini with our food. I ordered the calamari as my meal (girl lunch) and it was fantastic. It had an Asian kick to it with the sweet chili sauce for dipping.

They have a $9 burger special on Tuesdays, and you can even order it to go which was surprising to hear. We were also shocked to find out that they are open until 1am during the week! I will say, it was a nice late night spot to grab a quick drink and apps. Sit with Jess at the bar! + spinach dip (3/5) + chicken tenders (5/5) + truffle fries (4/5) + spicy marg (5/5) + smoked old fashioned (4/5)

Chicken Nachos. Very filling. I get every time and split with 3 people. Plenty to share or makes a great dinner if you're hungry.

Bar Louie is always a favorite place of mine. I typically stick to the same meal which used to be the voodoo pasta. Unfortunately they got rid of that two or so years ago. I hope they bring it back someday! Since then, Ive had no problem trying something new every time and it's always a success! The flatbread (a little salty) and chicken sandwich (thick) are not items I'd get again but good to try. Everything else has been excellent. Nachos are always loaded. Tots are great. I tried fried pickles for the first time and they didn't let me down. Service is always great. Servers are honest if you ask for opinion on food/drinks. Their checks ins are on point too. Not too frequent, but just enough. Bar service is also top notch and make a strong drink if you want. It's almost always busy but never impacts the wait time or service you receive. Prices are good and reasonable. Prices have risen everywhere, but bar Louie remains consistent with portion sizes and hasn't gotten "conservative" with serving sizes/toppings. Including pictures over the last couple years along with last night (dec. '25) to show consistency. Must try if you're in the Carmel area. You won't regret it!

Bar Louie in Carmel is a solid, easy place to go when you want a good atmosphere, plenty of space, and friendly service. It is a large spot that feels comfortable for groups or just a casual night out, and the staff have been welcoming when I have gone. The burgers are good, not amazing, but the Tuesday night $9 burger deal makes them absolutely worth it and gives the place even more appeal as a relaxed local option. Oh and the outside seating is

Food & service were great. We were helped by the whole staff. Sat at the bar & the chairs were super squeaky but that was the only downside.

4 Side Buffalo Sauce..

I ordered blue cheese TWO times through doordash. The first time I just thought maybe someone read the ticket wrong so i placed a second order just for blue cheese sauce & again they sent me buffalo sauce. I tried calling multiple times and there was no answer.

Bar Louie's-Carmel offers great vibes on a Friday or Saturday night! We went in and sat at the bar. There's TVs available to watch sports and the DJ starts at 10 pm. There's a small dance floor area in front of the DJ area. There was no cover change. After a certain time, they do card to get in. I didn't grab any food this time, but I did grab a wildberry margarita. It was a little too sweet for my liking, but still a tasty drink. I'll definitely be back.

Freeland's Restaurant was such a memorable dining experience! From the moment we arrived, I loved…read morethe charm of the beautiful historic home and the warm, intimate atmosphere. It feels elegant and special without feeling overly formal. The food was truly a work of art. Every plate was beautifully presented, colorful, creative and full of interesting combinations of flavors and textures. Even the presentation itself made you want to stop and admire each dish before taking the first bite! The burrata, beautifully plated entrées and vegetable dishes were all impressive, and I loved the attention to detail throughout the meal. The cocktails were just as creative as the food--beautifully presented and almost too pretty to drink. And t The service made the evening even better. Luke took wonderful care of us and was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and welcoming throughout the entire meal. He gave us just the right amount of attention without ever making us feel rushed, and his service really added to the overall experience.

10-7-26 We had reservations for an early (5:45) dinner, so it was not busy when we arrived,…read morealthough it definitely filled (and got fairly loud) during the night. Patrons were a variety of clientele, defintely no children. We had indicated on the open table reservation that we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. I had done some research for local fine dining and was excited to try Freeland's. (Coincidentally, we went to Tinker Street - a sister company -- for our anniversary last year, and had an absolutely wonderful experience!) We were seated right away. I will admit that I was a little disappointed there was nothing on the table that looked celebratory, and that seemed like a miss, as we have experienced this from other restaurants. Freeland's just opened in Feb 2025, and is in a renovated old (1840s) house, with a lovely bar area set against William Morris wallpaper, table seating for about 50 total, and a view of the kitchen. Although it's neat to see the counter part of the kitchen, my seat was situated where I could see the side shelves of supplies and one work table, and honestly that did take away from the ambiance of everything else. I really think some sort of partition there would be better. The sommelier came quickly and offered us each a small amuse-bouche of champagne and explained that all quests are welcomed this way; it was a nice touch. Our server also came quickly, asked us if we were celebrating anything especial (yes, our 20th), and reviewed some of the evening specials. Hubs had an Old Fashioned ($19) and I had a glass of chardonnay ($12 - that was actually still on a happy hour special). I completely forgot about the sommelier in that moment, because normally I would just have them pair me a glass for the meal, but this was good, too. We got the scallops appetizer ($36) and the beets salad ($17). The three scallops, served in shells, were delicious, as was the beets salad - red and golden beets served over a rainbow of naturally (food) colored sauces. I was also envious watching oysters to other tables - hubs is not a fan and I figured we were getting plenty of food, I'll get some next time. Entrees were the NY strip loin for him ($50) with carrots and fingerling potatoes, and the butternut risotto ($32) for me. Both were beautiful and delicious. For dessert, we each ordered a coffee. Chocolate ice cream was on the house for our anniversary. We also ordered a peanut butter chocolate parfait ($17). Coffee came out first and we were almost done by the time the ice cream came out. It was nothing special compared to the rest of the food - plain store bought chocolate. A little while after, our server informed us the parfait didn't set up, and they were remaking it if we wanted to wait (yes, please). About 15 minutes later, he came out and apologized that the chef said it just wasn't setting up. The packed us up a complimentary piece of their honey cake to go instead. This was a nice little about 7 (more?) layer dessert with honey, lavender, nice fresh flavors. Overall, our dinner for two came to $210 before gratuity. Overall, I know this "should" be a 5-star rating - which I think for a "regular dinner" it certainly would be. Again, everything was beautiful and delicious. But for a celebratory milestone, the work kitchen shelf view, noise level, and the dessert snafu, today was still a solid 4. One thing that is also fun - and you will see in my pics - is that everything is served on a different piece of China. Multiple florals and patterns, it makes for a cute table. #yum #ReviewsByRL

I had the Shrimp and Scallops, and it was easily one of the best-looking dishes ever set down in front of me--it looked straight off a magazine cover. More importantly, it tasted just as good as it looked, with both the shrimp and scallops cooked to perfection and boasting great sear marks. Having never tried okra before, we also ordered a side of Garlic Okra out of curiosity and were pleasantly surprised by how flavorful it was. Our server, Deyan, delivered 6-star service from start to finish. If you're anywhere near the area, Juniper on Main is an absolute must-try

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.

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.

I honestly didn't know what to expect other than I knew it was healthy food options. Parking is tough. I had to park a bit away during lunch time because their little section is pretty small and it was packed, so I parked over by Whole Foods and walked over. Not a big deal just something to be aware of, and if you are lucky enough to find a spot near them, it's tight getting in and out so just a side note.

On the last visit my friend ordered the salmon entrée. It was a very, very, small piece of salmon. I don't know if that is the usual size or not but definitely not what we expected for the price. The only thing I have tried here that I didn't care for was the Mother Earth Bowl. When I ordered it the employee mentioned that it was their most popular item, but I thought the greens were very bitter and the dressing didn't complement the vegetables. But apparently everyone else loves it. The parking lot was congested each time I have been here. Traffic flow is difficult so next time I will park farther away and walk rather than navigate the small lot in front of the restaurant.
