"Garden Table in Carmel turned out to be a genuinely pleasant surprise — one of those meals where every course hits exactly the way you hoped it would. The space itself sets the tone immediately: clean, bright, and welcoming, with décor that feels thoughtful without trying too hard. It’s the kind of place where you settle in and instantly think, “Yeah, this is going to be good.” I ordered the Benny Burger, and it was spot-on. The patty came out perfectly medium-rare, the egg was cooked exactly right, and the seasoning pulled everything together without overshadowing the ingredients. The fries deserve their own mention: crisp on the outside, tender inside, and seasoned well enough that you don’t need to drown them in anything. My wife went with the smoked salmon and avocado toast, and they did not skimp on the salmon. The poached egg was textbook perfect, and even the gluten-free bread — which is often a gamble — was legitimately good. Our daughter’s croissant French toast may have stolen the show, though. Light, flaky, rich, and absolutely delicious. We finished with the cheesecake, and the kitchen was wonderfully accommodating, adding an off-menu berry compote and chocolate drizzle that elevated the dish without making it overly sweet. Drinks were another high point: my old fashioned was solid for a pre-mix, and my wife’s Bloody Mary was vibrant, layered, and balanced — great heat without being overpowering. Overall: great food, great service, and a genuinely enjoyable experience. Garden Table is absolutely worth a return visit."

"If I could give 10 ⭐, I would do so. Every dish was absolutely delicious. The juice flight was delicious. Thanks to my servers advice, I made all great choices. The street corn dip was seasoned well. The entree was the star of the dinner! Creamy basil pesto penne with chicken & shrimp was the best dish I ate during my entire Indiana visit. I was the last person in the restaurant before closing and not one person rushed me to leave. Service and the atmosphere was top notch!"

"Went here for dinner last Friday with friends. It was delicious! We had a group of 6 and made reservations. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. I got the salmon quinoa bowl, my daughter got chicken wings, friends got pasta and brisket. The salmon and brisket dishes were HUGE! The salmon was perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. I knocked down a star because there weren’t much veggies or pesto and the menu had advertised pesto veggies with quinoa. It was mostly quinoa. Would’ve liked more pesto and veggies!! We also shared the fresh juice sampler. I loved the cashew milk and carrot juice. This place is good and has room for more potential! It’s nice to have delicious, healthier options in Carmel and Indy."

"Quintessential place in downtown Carmel, you soak in the beautiful downtown vibe and street side seating. You can feel you have come to a totally different place, there was a completely different vibe, interior was masterfully designed and light, inviting an open concept of being there. Felt uplifting and unique being here. Staff was super friendly and attentive even when the place was packed with guests, orders didn’t take really long to come, a busy restaurant serving food faster and getting guests to their tables, these are the key signs that the place is doing great and is a favourite of many. My family has vegetarian dietary habits and they loved this place and the food. Loved it and would definitely recommend and visit again."

"One of my favorite places to dine in the area- anytime that paycheck hits I get the urge to spend it at Garden Table! Their hot lattes are so good (id actually recommend avoiding getting them iced) and the avocado toast (i think called garden toast?) and angus cheeseburger are must tries."
