Fine dining

Fine dining restaurants are full service restaurants with specific dedicated meal courses. Décor of such restaurants features higher-quality materials, with establishments having certain rules of dining which visitors are generally expected to follow, sometimes including a dress code.

Fine dining establishments are sometimes called white-tablecloth restaurants, because they traditionally featured table service by servers, at tables covered by white tablecloths. The tablecloths came to symbolize the experience. The use of white tablecloths eventually became less fashionable, but the service and upscale ambience remained.^[4][5]

Carmel

Carmel /ˈkɑːrməl/ is a suburban city in Hamilton County, Indiana, United States located immediately north of Indianapolis. It has been one of the fastest-growing communities in the country. In 2012 Carmel was selected the Best Place to Live in United States by CNN Money magazine,^[5] and received the same designation by Niche.com in 2017.^[6] The population was estimated 85,927 in 2014 by the US Census Bureau,^[7] making it the fifth-largest city in Indiana.

Carmel was originally called Bethlehem and, under the latter name, was laid out and platted in 1837.^[8] The original settlers were predominantly Quakers.^[9] Today, the plot first established in Bethlehem, located at the intersection of Rangeline Road and Main Street, is marked by a clock tower, donated by the local Rotary Club in 2002. A post office was established as Carmel in 1846.^[10]The town of Bethlehem was renamed Carmel in 1874, at which time it was incorporated.^[11]

In 1924, one of the first automatic traffic signals in the U.S. was installed at the intersection of Main Street and Rangeline Road. The signal was the invention of Leslie Haines and is currently in the old train station on the Monon Trail.^[12]

The Carmel Monon Depot, John Kinzer House, and Thornhurst Addition are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.^[13][14]
