Made reservations for Sunday at 10 am and even had a phone call with a worker to confirm. Got to the restaurant and it was closed. The website had different hours than google. Need to fix that. Very disappointing.

Hi McKenzie! We do not take reservations on weekends, and never have. Our website has our standard hours on it, but any special holiday hours are posted on Google. We are always closed on race day for the last 12 years in business. Sorry for the inconvenience this morning!
Horrible experience that put our whole experience in Carmel to a shame. Went into restaurant for lunch. There wasn't anyone at the front. When they finally came back, he didn't even ask who was ask who was there first. We tried to tell him we were there first but was told to wait and took the group to table that came in after us. Than tried tot ell us the wait will be at least 15 minutes. Won't recommend wasting your time here. They had so many uncleaned tables.
Our first dinner with Garden Table and it was great. We took an outdoor table, sitting directly at the monon trail.
Will, our server, was friendly and responsive. We took whiskey cream chicken and frutti di mare pasta. Both were excellent and well seasoned. I took a Chardonnay as wine which was decent.
All in all, a very good dining experience. We will return
We brought my mom for her birthday, And enjoyed the wonderfully fresh food.
I had shrimp tacos and they were so good. Everything was so fresh. My tiny nephew was with us and they brought us warm water to make his bottle.
Our waittress was so friendly. We really enjoyed the front porch at lunchtime. My sister in law recommends this place for their healthly fresh options and she was right!
We've been here several times for brunch and it has always been fantastic, but we recently came for dinner for the first time and it was great. We had crab cakes and fried olives for appetizers and both were so good! The fried olives were probably our favorite item of the night. My husband had a cocktail and I had a cold pressed juice. He ordered Whiskey chicken, I had Frutti di Mare pasta, his mom got Roasted chicken thigh, and his dad got Seven hour brisket. We were all blown away with how good our food was. Garden table always has great service and is beautiful on the inside. This is becoming one of our favorites in Carmel!
