    I was celebrating with 5 of my friends last night. We were greeted immediately by Andy, the manager. He was extremely welcoming and kind. Everyone LOVED their entrees as we all tried something different. We also tried many signature drinks as well, they were excellent. I will definitely be coming back multiple times as Andy and the entire staff definitely made us feel like family, I highly recommend this restaurant especially if you're celebrating something special. The bar is a very nice size as well which is very unique for Carmel. I am eager to go back to check out their happy hour soon.
