Garden Table

Carmel, IN

Situated along the Monon trail, the restaurant's third location prioritizes outdoor space with generous patios and indoor/outdoor connections. The kitchen emphasizes fresh, healthy menu choices, and interior dining creatively maximizes limited space for unique seating experiences. The south patio features a year-round adaptable design, while a hanger-style window connects the bar to the trail-facing patio. A side entrance near the kitchen facilitates carry-out orders without disturbing dine-in guests. The interior blends natural and industrial elements, with light playing on soft curves. This purpose-built restaurant strengthens the local eatery's identity, embracing new dining trends and community fellowship.
