Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Lake Carmel

Always a great experience when I eat at Red Hat!! Whether its sitting outside during the summer or celebrating with friends at our annual holiday dinner - we have had our friends holiday dinner at Red Hat every year...and it is our place. The food is great, it is so very beautiful, and the service is on point!!

Great experience. Service was great. Food was very good! The 3 course meal special was a great value and did not disappoint!

This place continues to be my favorite place. The food, service, and ambiance is always amazing.

It's great. It' s just an expensive meal. That being said, it never disappoints. Our waiter for this visit, Julian, was particularly good.

We started with the quinoa fritters, they were amazing. For Entrees we had the short rib with eggs, you can have your eggs any way you like. My wife had hers poached and mine scrambled. It was served with a side of roasted potatoes. The food came out amazing. Followed by dessert, a slice of cheesecake topped off in caramel sauce. Typically I find caramel overpowering sweet but this sauce met the perfect blend between bitterness and sweetness. Very well done
