Best Restaurants for Foodies in Carmel / Westfield

Today was my birthday. As a gift, my husband and I were treated you dinner. This was 10/10 Service. Audra was wonderful and a wealth of knowledge. The suggestions were spot on and probably hands down best meal we've ever had.

Whether you’re there for a casual evening or a special occasion, Seasons 52 delivers an impeccable dining experience. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy high-quality food and top-notch service.

We initially went to Ocean Prime to celebrate my wife’s birthday with no expectation other than her choice for seafood. Based on past experience I didn’t have this restaurant as one of my favorites. However, our experience today changed my opinion of this restaurant. The hostess set the tone for us with the heart felt greeting. It was sincere and my wife felt it. As we set at the table our waiter “Joe” greeted us enthusiastically which again made us feel that much more welcome. He provided an extensive overview of the menu and specials with great accuracy. Joe showcased his knowledge by allowing us to provide input and then giving recommendations to best suit our taste buds. Since it was cold outside I opted for coffee. I wasn’t prepared for the coffee I tasted. I pride myself on a good cup of coffee but this coffee was amazing! I asked Joe the name of the coffee he stated it was local provider by the name of Hubbard and Cravens. I have never of it but will surely remember and find out the location. This is the closet to one of the top Jamaician coffee I have tasted in years. Next, bread was brought to the table that just as tasty as any bread I have in long time. The pretzel bread was my favorite. I could have eaten a whole plate of it. As an appetizer I ordered the lobster bisque soup. Without question one of the top soups that rivals the lobster bisque soup I tasted often while living in Massachusetts. For the main course I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass that included broccolini, Pearl Onions, Potato Purée, and Truffle Vinaigrette. Sides included Mac n cheese and sautéed spinach. By this time I was full to capacity but paced in anticipation of what was to come for the grand finale. While waiting for the main course I drunk a pot of coffee and asked for another one and more bread. Although I didn’t have much room left I managed to taste the goodness of the Chilean Bass meal. Utterly melting in your mouth.

We have eaten at Good Omen multiple times and it never disappoints. From the quality of the food, to the amazing wine list to the superb service, this restaurant is a 10/10 every single time. What a wonderful hidden gem!!

First time having lunch at Oakleys. Food as fantastic as always. Prices were surprisingly fair for lunch and for the quality especially. Service was quick and efficient, but especially for holiday time, I’d say lacking in warmth and personality. But as I say, he was very efficient so I’m not going to complain, especially with the quality on the plate he was serving. Always a go to, I’ll now be back for more lunches too.
