Food half good, half bad. Service slow. You have to look for waitress/waiter … stop them or ask for basic things (chips, salsa, drinks, water). Some food arrived slow and cold. And even when you ask for something … might not receive and have to ask again. Menu is awesome. Facility wonderful. Super clean and great appeal. Guacamole is outstanding. Disciplined execution poor.

Nice place but the service was terrible. They brought me and my wifes food out first. We had to wait at least another 10 min for the kids food because per the server "the food is in the window we are just waiting for the runners to bring it out".....umm what? She told us this 3 times. Why the heck couldn't she bring it? The marg was good but not $17 good. If they want to be taken seriously as a high end place they will need to have high end service. It's more like taco bell service right now.

Verde was so good. My friends and I had a blast while enjoying the good flavors we got in our food. There were a lot of people there but that just made the place more energetic. They have authentic flavors that must be tried and shared. We will defintely be coming back.

Really wanted to like this place but the food was disappointing and music was way too loud to have a conversation with even the person right next to you. Our server also didn’t know much about the menu which was unfortunate for our first time visiting. Sadly will not be returning.

The doors were open and it was very cold inside the restaurant. The music was turned up so loud, we had a hard time having a conversation. The food came out to us in shifts with the last person at our table of 5 getting his food more than 5 minutes after the first person. Very disappointed.

Music was so loud the server couldn't hear us though we were practically shouting at him. He didn't know the menu well which didn't help. Then forgot to bring us one of our drinks, we had to have the bus boy get it for us. For high end Mexican food, their alcohol list lacks inspiration and it's clearly a corporate list. Very suburban type place. Food was decent though

Excellent service. Food was exceptional. Must try their Guacamole! Enough for 4 to share as an appetizer. The Red Snapper and plantains were absolutely delicious. Got a little loud when the place filled up and parking can be an issue especially for the handicapped. Would highly recommend.

The food and service is very good at Verde-Carmel. We would without doubt eat there again; but the ambient sound level is far too loud - measuring an average of 82 decibels, with a high of 87 db. To hold a conversation, one must yell. Looking around, occupants at some tables weren’t bothering to speak. Rather than a public review, I chose to contact mgmt directly through the Verde website (leaving my contact information); no response received.

Food was delicious. My husband had the taco salad and I had the carne asada. We enjoyed the margarita trio flight and the Texas margarita. We also had queso. The food was excellent. The ambiance of the restaurant is fun and lively. The two seater booth we were at was small and difficult to maneuver all of the food onto, but it worked. Service was fine - my husband ordered no onions on his salad and it still came with onions, and I was supposed to get corn tortillas that never came. The server took a while to come to our table after the food arrived - my husband was already done - so I just went without. However, in this time of labor shortages I don’t blame the server and simply the world we currently live in.

I ate here on Sept 29th 2021 at 5:30p local. First visit. I arrived at 5:30p and was promptly seated where I asked to be. A gentleman brought chips and salsa (both really good). My date was running a few minutes late so when the waitress asked if I wanted to get something I ordered a texas margarita. Her perfume was so overwhelming that it stuck around at least 2 minutes after she left to get my drink. I am unsure of how any Resturant Manager would not have picked up on this even if just passing by this employee once. The margarita (texas rocks and salt) was good, not great. Texas margaritas should have a pretty deliberate orange flavor that this one lacked. My date arrived and we both ordered entrees, and got a bowl of queso. Meanwhile the music was so loud and reverberated off of every hard surface in the building we could barely speak. The queso was creamy but incredibly bland. Even my gf who is not into spicy food of any kind even in tiny measure was shocked at how little flavor the queso had. It was all roux and no seasoning. And though my tacos (arrachera) were really good, every visit by the waitress made it impossible to enjoy them any time she passed by us, as the scent of her perfume invaded the table for 2 minutes per trip. Towards the end of the meal after learning that I was not going to take a second margarita our waitress ignored us for quite awhile. In her defense she had a large group to take care of as well, but she passed by us multiple times when we were very clearly done eating and just waiting for a box and to pay. I finally flagged her down and she quickly brought back the receipt and to go box. My suggestions: Talk to staff about how much perfume is acceptable (not very much in a restaurant), and tone down the music. I don't know if I will give them another shot. There are better margaritas and as good a mexican food in Carmel and Zionsville.

Had another delicious meal at Verde. Love the outside dining area with the umbrellas. My husband and I both had tacos, all of which were very good (pulpo/octopus, shrimp, pastor/pork and fish). The octopus was cut in larger pieces this visit and a little chewier than in the past, but still good. Service was fast, accurate and friendly.

Visiting Verde in the Olivia, we never thought we’d encounter such a kind and amazing server as Estefania. She was beyond kind to us. She was so knowledgeable about the menu and some food allergies. She was so accommodating, informative and gave us impeccable service. We talked with her about gluten intolerance, the vegan lifestyle and even soccer and the Indy Eleven! The food was gorgeous and delicious. When a server loves their job, it shows. People like Estefania make a place so welcoming as she radiates a positive happy vibe, directs the customer to the best items and takes care of them royally. It was so impressive to dine here and everything was just perfect. Starting with Estefania. Nick Hrisomalos ,

All was good- food, service and atmosphere. Only one thing keeping from 5 stars. We went for Devour Indy. one devour link to Verde it showed dinner price as 2 for $60. On devour menu in restaurant it was in tiny tiny print as $70. When showed server after we got bill- she just shrugged shoulder and said oh well. Not a big deal but should get it right.

I honestly expected more. The food looks so good, but I didnt love the flavors and the veggie side was cold, which was odd. For an upscale mexican place, I think it fell short. I woudlnt go back. You can get the same stuff anywhere for half the price.
