The s’mores dessert literally was the best dessert I have ever had! This coming from a true fat kid. Justin our server was beyond and so kind. Thank you so much ! I cannot wait to come back.“

“Season 52 is the most consistent “chain”restaurant when it comes to service and food quality.
Indianapolis, thank you!
Steph, on my first night I mentioned I’d be dining there for three nights, and she remembered me when I returned the next evening. She even introduced me to Zoe, knowing I'd likely be back again. By the third night, Zoe already knew my drink and remembered details from our previous conversations. She also did a great job of introducing Aiden. bartend who made the evening enjoyable with his friendly conversation and genuine hospitality.
What stood out most was how seamless and personal the experience felt. The team made me feel welcome every night, the meals were cooked to perfection.“

“Noah Grant’s ended up being one of those places that starts as dinner and turns into an experience.

My friend Derek recommended it, and I’m glad I took his advice.

The seafood risotto was outstanding. The East Coast jumbo scallops and lump crab absolutely lived up to the hype. The Oyster Bar Platter was an experience by itself, with each oyster bringing its own flavor and personality to the table.

The Crackin’ Sushi Roll was creative and different, and Noah’s Bibimbap surprised us in the best way.

Beyond the food, the atmosphere felt warm and upscale without being stuffy or pretentious. It felt like the kind of place where you could celebrate something special or simply enjoy a great meal and conversation.

If you’re around Zionsville and enjoy seafood, this place is absolutely worth the drive.

And Derek, if you’re reading this, you were right.“

“The food was excellent. The service was horrible. We had many different wait staff come to our table and things were getting mixed up. Our bill was not correct and the waitress at the end acted as if it was the worst thing in the world to go correct it.“

“Nina, the waitress was very helpful and pleasant Thank you so much for the wonderful experience at juicy seafood.“

“Every time we come here we always ask for Jasmine because her customer service is great‼️ Our glasses are never dry and our order is always correct. She has good conversation and pays great attention to the customer. We have never been disappointed with her service. It’s always a pleasure to go somewhere that has good food and good service.“

“Our waiter Devin was friendly. The only negative thing, is the lighting. Or perhaps making the writing on the menu bolder.“

“This restaurant has the best vibe. We live in Key West, and were in town, and our favorite musician from Key West happened to be playing here, so we had to come see him. The bar staff were very friendly and attentive. We sat at the bar and split two appetizers. We got the pork empanadas and crispy chicken sliders. The sliders came with fries, and I can’t say enough about these fries. They were similar in shape to steak fries, but super thin, almost translucent thin. The best fries I’ve ever had!! I’d go back just for them! The empanadas and sliders were both also delicious. After eating we went behind restaurant to parking lot to watch Cliff. The lot had food and alcohol for purchase as well. Overall a great experience. It really made me feel like I was back home in Key West.“

“This is my favorite Jordan’s location! I’ve never had a bad experience. The food is always fresh and hot, and the service is always good. They have been my go to place for chicken, fish, and gyro forever now! But i have to say, last night they really made a great impression on me. They are fasting for Ramadan as well…when i told him i was too and so excited to break my fast with their food…he included extra drinks, fried okra, and dessert. And even brought the food to my car because i had my daughter with me. You can’t beat that service. It made my day!!
Oh and my nephew loved the chicken so much he refused to eat any other food that was on the table!! 10/10“

“We have eaten there twice recently, and we love the food and the staff. Our servers have been Elaine and Cindy. Absolutely lovely ladies…and fun! Delicious food!!!!!!! ❤️“

“Today is Christmas and one of the busiest days for the restaurant. Although my order took more than 30 minutes, the employee at the front desk did all she could and was very attentive to the waiting customers. She even checked up on each one of us, placing us ahead of the kitchen queue so we would get our orders as soon as possible. You could tell every one of them were trying their best. In the future, it would be helpful to provide more accurate wait times. The food itself was delicious, and I appreciate the effort the team put in during such a busy day. Despite the waiting, this restaurant certainly deserves a good rating.“

“Best Thai on the north side of Indy with friendly service.“

“Details make a huge difference in taste. Bruschetta was the best I’ve had in the US. Crispy bread and flavorful tomato topping is harder to achieve than you might think. Ravioli and pork chop were delightful. We are adding to our list of favorites“

“The food and staff were AWESOME! it was my first visit and I will definitely be back. The music just set the Friday night vibe.“

“A friend of mine was singing, so I made a reservation. The process was very easy and I received a text to confirm my table was ready. The staff was very nice and accommodating-as I gave up my table reservation to others with a larger party to sit on the patio (I was alone). The menu for the event was beautifully tailored and the bar staff was incredibly attentive. The ambiance was lovely, despite the quick rain, and it made for an enjoyable Saturday evening.“

“Just a nice place and good service“

“Athena has excellent customer service skills even under a lot of pressure from the Mother’s Day rush. She made sure that our order was correct, she kept checking on our table to make sure that we were satisfied and our glasses were always full. She continued to apologize for the wait for our food but we totally understood that the restaurant was packed and we were patiently waiting. Thank you for the outstanding service and we look forward to visiting this location again. We hope you have a wonderful evening. Happy Mother’s Day to you and thank you for making our Mother’s Day dinner a success‼️“
