    Lava cake
    Mauricio D.

    I ordered the New York steak and truffled fries. They were both spectacular. The Caesar salad was good too. I didn't love the lava cake but it wasn't bad either. The service was top notch. Our server was available when needed without being overbearing and had great knowledge of the menu. The atmosphere was good too. We felt like we had our own space. If I lived in town I would certainly go back.

    Prime 47 is honestly the place to be! Had a great experience in general, but my waiter Terry was the cherry on top. Great hospitality, environment & service as a whole & would definitely recommend anyone to come by to get the same experience. I ordered the wagyu and lobster tail, 10/10. My boyfriend orders the roasted seafood tower which was also great. We will definitely be back regularly .

    Service was a little off today (sat Nov 1). There was some confusion of who our servers/waitstaff were. Ordered drinks that came after our app and were made tableside. 1 of the drinks came out incomplete and may not have noticed if another wasn't poured right next to it. They waited until we said something about it to then admit they thought it looked light. They replaced the drink free of charge. While taking our orders our waiter seemed preoccupied with what else was going on. My filet was great and super tender. It didn't have a butter sauce like the last time I ordered it (see picture). Also It was seared tableside which was a nice touch but inconsistent. Also the cheddar asked potatoes seemed to be missing the cheddar aspect. They just weren't as delish as I remembered last time. Overall it was fine just seemed like an off night.

    We went to Prime 47 in Carmel located in Clay terrace mall on a Saturday nite. Prime 47 offers valet service which is nice. They were busy so we went to the bar until the table we wanted was ready. The bar tender (mixologist) made us nice drinks. I had to run to the car and get my phone charger and as I ran out there I noticed 4 or 5 employees standing out the door smoking. I'm not sure why that struck me as YUCK. But that was a total turn off for me. In the past we've ordered here before but it was always take out. I will say they have delicious steak and prime rib, and their Mac n cheese is delicious. They also offer Wagyu prime rib that is so tender. After seeing that we paid for our drinks and left. I'm not too sure if Prime 47 has a credit card hold for reservations as we were walk ins. I won't go back I guess we'll stick with Anthony's chophouse.

    This Prime 47 has a different owner than the one in downtown. Yes, I got the gift cards from Costco. Let's start with the staff. I sat at the bar like I did at the one in downtown. The bartender was a lot more friendlier and was pretty cheerful. It really made a big difference from the experience from the downtown one. I sat at the bar in both places. I ordered the blackened scallops as starter and the sea bass with green beans and risotto. The scallops were well seasoned and cooked right. The sea bass was delicious and the sauce with really smashed well together. The risotto was accentuated with the wine and cheese, eccellente! The foods came out in good temperature and overall I was well satisfied. I definitely would drive the extra miles for this Prime 47. I don't even know why people go to the one in downtown. This is the world we live in.

    Food and service was immaculate. This was my wife's first time at prime 47 and my second time. Both our servers (D & Jacob) were awesome. I also liked the darker ambiance of the restaurant coupled with the live music - very classy. Yes, this place is expensive, BUT you get why you pay for and more. Highly recommend, go check it out!

    Celebrated the beginning of summer! Best appetizer was the honey Brie and apples! Definitely recommend! I'd eat that every day if I could! My kids were so happy w their meals but they did order off the adult menu and very much eat like adults! Hence, my son ordering the filet with seafood on top! We very much appreciated the enthusiasm from our server, but I'd like to mention that all the staff spoke to us and engaged w my children! It was a pleasant evening with live music in the bar area. The musician was really good, but I'm glad the dining room was quieter! Loved our meals, the valet and definitely somewhere to go to celebrate!

    Had an amazing bday dinner experience at Prime 47 Carmel. The gothic glam interior was cozy and the service was friendly. Sam and Terry were our fun and kind waiters and the manager Alec made sure to pop by the table to say hello. This is definitely the place to go for a celebration as they pamper you and provide a complimentary dessert. The food itself was delicious and everyone at the table was pleased. I wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend Prime 47 Carmel! See pics to drool

    Picture it ... Carmel, 2026: It's February, and the high is an unseasonably warm 69 degrees. The…read moresun is shining, and you take a seat in a sunbeam on the covered outdoor patio of a local restaurant. You have a glass (OK, two glasses) of a nice Barbera d'Asti, and savor a couple of nibbly things. Everything is sparkly and right in the world on this beautiful Wednesday afternoon. All this and more can be yours when you visit Wine & Rind. At least, all that and more was mine when I visited. This is my ideal restaurant: wine focused, with a succinct menu of beautifully presented and thoughtfully created food. Plus, it's located right off the Monon Trail in Midtown Carmel, so it's a prime space for people-watching. This little restaurant is a great place to get a charcuterie platter, but I was feeling like bruschetta when I visited, so I ordered the Bruschetta Sampler, which is plenty for two people. It comes out like artwork on a wooden platter: five beautiful bruschetta toasts consisting of traditional tomato; fig and bleu cheese; capocollo and a herbed ricotta; blueberry and lemon ricotta with sugar sprinkled on top; and strawberry and cannoli cream with balsamic. The last one (strawberry and balsamic with cannoli cream) was surprising and might have been my favorite, because it tasted like cheesecake. I love being surprised! I also ordered the caprese salad, which was a wonderfully tasty platter of tomato, mozzarella, basil, pesto, olive oil, balsamic glaze and Maldon salt. It was so fresh and light. Another surprise: It was sprinkled with sprouts! I would have never thought to add that to a caprese, but it 100% worked. The service here is top-notch. The server was super nice and attentive, but also disappeared and only reappeared when necessary. Wine & Rind is a Carmel gem! I know I'll be back soon to try more of the menu, and drink more of the wine.

We got a wine recommended by our server and it was also a great pick. I will most definitely be back here!! I imagine it's even better on a beautiful summer day!

We got there are 5:30 on a Saturday and were pleasantly surprised to find that happy hour lasted until 6pm, so the wine was 1/2 price. The Harvey and Harriett red blend was phenomenal. The pig and fig was an amazing appetizer and I could have eaten 5 of those by myself!The seafood special, cordon bleu and burger were definitely all dishes we will crave and return for. If you haven't tried Josephine, I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.

Just not my thing unless steak is tender. This was a little bit tough for me still. 3. Homemade ketchup was too sweet and runny. Didn't have much of a tomato flavor. 4. Duck a l'orange - is the signature dish but it was overcooked. It actually tastes gamier and didn't have a great texture. Proper duck breast is to be medium rare to medium, but I know we're in central Indiana. 5. Steak frites - steak was cooked well but had a burnt crust to it. Made it bitter. It really lacked basic salt and pepper. The sauce was also lacking in flavor. But the frites and aioli were good. 6. Wine- decent selection. The Bordeaux wasn't good but my husband's rose was decent. Service - our server was attentive as he could be was unfortunately spread too thin and was covering both sides of the dining room. Service at times took longer than anticipated. Manager was nice and did check on us. Just not the memorable meal we were hoping for on our anniversary and isn't the type of French cuisine we've had in the past from our travels.

    I can see why Lone Pine is getting recognized by the James Beard Foundation this year. Why? In…read moreshort: The food is dope, the service is attentive, the restaurant is classy but approachable. But mostly it's for Aaron Hansen, the chef at Lone Pine. He's a semifinalist for the Best Chef: Great Lakes (IL, IN, MI, OH) category. What an honor! I'm curious to see if he gets the medal, but even if not, hopefully this recognition will draw people to visit Lone Pine, because people really need to visit. I don't know how Lone Pine would describe its menu, but I would call it elevated comfort food. One of the things my table ordered was chicken piccata. When was the last time you saw chicken piccata on a menu?! It was delicious, and served with mashed potatoes and lettuce leaves that added a nice, fresh crunch to each bite. We also got the roasted salmon, which was served with fingerling potatoes in a pesto sauce, with arugula on the side. This, too, was delicious and rich, yet fresh. I ordered the short ribs, which came with polenta and caramelized pearl onions. The short ribs were just fatty enough, and the sauce that they were surrounded by was unctuous and wonderful to eat with the polenta. I guess I should have started this review by writing about our first course! We got the French onion soup, bloody Mary wedge salad and the Caesar salad. The Caesar salad at Lone Pine is probably the best Caesar salad that I've eaten in Carmel, and maybe in all of the Indianapolis area. The thing that Lone Pine does differently and spectacularly is that they use breadcrumbs and not croutons. That makes all the difference! Granted, it does look a bit like a pile of pencil shavings on a plate, but sometimes the dowdiest foods are the best-tasting foods. The result is a satisfyingly salty, crunchy, creamy, crispy salad that I couldn't stop eating. I know I will be back to Lone Pine for the Caesar salad. We ended our meal by sharing two desserts: the apple pie panna cotta and the Lone Pine chocolate cake. Both desserts were amazing, but the cake won us all over because it looked deceptively heavy, but it was light and airy, and came with slightly sweet whipped cream. The service at Lone Pine is exceptional. They pay attention to detail here, and all of the little things are taken care of. Our server gave us just enough time between courses. Our water was refilled unobtrusively. We didn't get asked whether we've dined there before (because who cares?) and the menu wasn't over-explained (thank goodness, because I can indeed read). One thing we also noticed that we appreciated: The music was just loud enough to hear it, but not loud enough to notice it too much! It's these little things that come together to make a great dining experience.

    Unfortunately, my second visit to Line Pine may have been my last... We attended last night for my…read moremother-in-law's birthday. She wanted to try a new "fancy" place in Carmel. My first experience at the restaurant was decent, so I figured we would give it another shot. I recall my first meal being a bone-in pork chop that was overly salted. I'll make my review brief. The restaurant was not too busy but our service was fairly slow, two separate drink orders that were requested never made it to the table, the environment was noisy/music too loud, etc. I decided to go with something very basic for my food order. My thought was, "I'll see how good they are at doing something simple." I got the black and burger cooked to the chef's preferred temperature (medium). My burger came out dry/crumbly/crispy/well done. Yikes. The server did offer to provide a complimentary drink while he asked the chef to prepare another burger (a nice gesture). However, the second burger came out raw (see photo). I'm a medium rare steak guy but this was inedible. The fries were very good. I'm not typically someone who is overly critical of restaurants but for the amount of money you're paying for these meals, the food and service should be excellent. My two experiences were fair and poor. This is very unfortunate because I've visited the sister restaurants (Beholder and Milktooth) many times and have had nothing but great experiences at both. Probably the last time I'll go.

Even if you don't like cooked carrots (which I don't!) they are sooooo good and there's no other way to describe it. You just have to try it yourself. After the carrots, we thought it would be hard for the rest of the dishes to live up to that but our daily soup (always vegan) was so yummy! It was made with leeks/root vegetables and forbidden rice - absolutely delicious and very earthy! I was so pleased with just those two items, I could've stopped there and had a perfect experience. We both ordered the mapo tofu - and it was not like mapo tofu you'd get at a korean/chinese restaurant. It wasn't a saucy dish at all - in fact, it was intentionally dry - practically charred. It included rice cake which was interesting. I appreciated the charred/crispy texture with the chewy inside. I wouldn't order it again but if you like textured, spicy dishes you might enjoy it. Luke offered to get us something else but we were already full, so we declined. He also gave me a complimentary blueberry sorbet which was delicious and sooo fresh, and wished me a happy birthday! It was very delicious and necessary to rinse the palate. We had a great time and can't wait to come back when the patio opens up - we loved their mission to assist with providing job opportunities for autistic adults, too. It's a great restaurant with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere and phenomenal service.

Whilst I'm no fan of MTM's, and Langton's demise was easy to predict, this review will focus on the folly that is the "new" wine bar. First, patrons are left scratching their heads at why the first floor of the former Langton's space is vacant and the Wine Bar is isolated to its former upstairs? Employees will tell you it's to utilize the first floor as a banquet space. Um, ok, but the space is visible and open to the upstairs wine bar. Conceptually that's odd and what will this actually be like from a guest experience when both the Wine Bar is open and the banquet space is in use? Second, let's talk decor. Nearly all the quasi-Irish decor is still in place despite the obvious conceptual change. Examples: the stained glass work, the artwork on the walls, and the usage of snugs. Third, let's talk televisions. Whilst the abundance of TV's (with sports on most) is a hold-over from Langton's, they have no business as part of a wine bar. In fact, one of Langton's and now the Wine Bar's shortcomings is having TVs in the remaining snugs. I've been to countless pubs in Ireland and countless wine bars throughout this country, none of which have TV's in snugs. It defeats the purpose of a snug. Fourth, let's talk music. Current pop/dance-type music is not congruent with a high-price point wine bar. The music simply doesn't match the concept. Fifth, the wine list is uninspiring. Nothing but well known, upper end labels and they are priced accordingly. Wow, you have Silver Oak, Decoy, etc. . . how imaginative! Listen, I appreciate good wine and will pay for it, but it's much more satisfying to see a well-curated wine list that is geographically diverse and price diverse. It's pedestrian to have a concentrated list of high end Napa/Sonoma offerings. Also, the staff seemed to have very little knowledge of the wine list itself. That's ok at a place that is $7-12 glass. It's not ok at a place that's $22+ a glass. Lastly, the food was a joke. Teresa ordered a cheese plate that looked like it was assembled as an afterthought. I lament not taking a photo. It was a sloppy, disorganized pile of cheese, dried fruit, and crackers that appeared to be remnants from other servings piled haphazardly. There was no description of the cheeses on the menu, nor was one offered by the server. Conclusion: expensive, poor food quality, sports bar atmosphere, uneducated staff, and feels exactly like what it is: a desperate attempt to rebrand a space as something else with no effort.

    It's confusing. Separate entrance = locked. Hostess stand directs us to MTM's for service. It's…read morejust not the atmosphere we were seeking. Plus, it was oddly quiet back there. We left disappointed and ended up at a different wine bar.
