Taylor's Restaurant Group is expanding its footprint to Carmel with a new Taylor's Bar & Table location. The restaurant is set to open in early December 2026 within the Carmel City Center development.

Why it matters

The company chose to expand into the area after the space at 885 Monon Green Blvd. became available for lease this summer. This move brings the restaurant's split-dining concept to the heart of Carmel.

The new location will occupy Suite 108, with plans to hire between 30 and 40 staff members. This marks the latest expansion for Taylor's Restaurant Group since it opened its first location in 1995.
