Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Carmel / Westfield

The hostess was very pleasant and informative. The server was spot on for how often and how much time spent at our table. It was really good

We had a fantastic experience at Eddie Merlot's last night! To be honest, a lot of that was due to our server Evelyn. She was spectacular and made us feel like family. We will be back and we will be requesting her area.

My California salad was the biggest and the best salad I have ever had. It was enough for two people, really colorful and healthy!

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.

It was a great Christmas early dinner for just the two of us. You could order from their regular menu or off their Christmas Day menu. We chose the latter and both had their traditional turkey meal. My husband who is very picky vegetable eater absolutely loved their green beans. For me I loved it all.
