Grille 39

Their corn and crab chowder sounded so good on the menu, but what a disappointment! Imitation crab in a pasty tasting chowder. The corn was fine - fire grilled and from Indiana- but it was seriously the worst chowder I have ever had in my life. The service was fine, but what good is service when the food is awful?

Pregnant girls!  Do not pass go.  Do not collect $200.  Go directly to Grille 39 in Carmel.  My mom's group, Mamas Helping Mamas spend a few Mondays a month having martinis here (none for you PG ladies), and I have to tell you, aside from those, I looooooooooove the apple crisp dessert which comes in a large hot bowl of deliciousness full of crispy delightful flavors that burst in your mouth and then a sweet cool refreshing vanilla bean ice cream to cleanse your pallet.  OMG.  I want one now.  

For starters, the salads are always wonderful and I've had the salmon on multiple occasions and it is sooooo good.  

The service is consistent and the restaurant is quiet, trendy and romantic if you want something a little more intimate.  For medium groups, they have a semi-private room which is great for couples dinners out and they don't charge for the space.

Overall, this is a great meeting place for a nice meal if you want to hear yourselves talk or if you are looking for a fun, hot dessert to make your belly happy.

Great lunch buffet. Healthy salads. Petit sandwiches. Home made potato chips. Desert and drink included. They offered my company a half-off deal in January which made it a deal. Staff very professional. Given the lack of decent lunch choices in the area, worth a try. Also the best hotel in the area.
