“Great experience! Unstuffy atmosphere, superb food, and really nice server, Eileen, all added up to a phenomenal experience. With a large group-everything was seamless. Appetizers were somewhat familiar but kicked up with a little (delicious) twist or sauce. The wine paired nicely with everything--a Super Sardinian blend (think Super Tuscan) bold but smooth. The Caprese salad was boosted with farrow--comfort food salad. Everyone was very happy with their main course (pasta dishes or the short-rib entree). Excited to go back so we can all try more of the menu.”

The personalized touches throughout our visit, such as calling us by name right off the bat, wine samples when we couldn't decide which to get, and an Amuse-bouche from the chef that was beyond words made it spectacular.

Our food was hot and delicious, cooked to perfection and at a cost we were not at all mad about being in the heart of downtown and ordering almost everything off the menu. We can’t wait to go back!”

“The sushi was incredible! The pieces were smaller, which was a good thing as they were more approachable. I give credit to the size to them not having too much rice, like most places. They had just enough rice to surround them and keep them together. Unfortunately, the service was subpar. I blame the management more than the server, to be honest. There was only one server and one bartender. So it was a little frustrating to have everything take so long from start to finish. Over all, if you want good sushi with a very posh atmosphere, go here... you may just have to wait a while.”

“A friend was in town for the Christmas Gift & Hobby Show, at the fairgrounds, & since he knows that my wife & I are foodies..he asked where would be a good place to go for dinner afterwards? What started out as a recommendation, turned into an invitation, & we went to Capri.. Capri is a local hidden gem that I found out about in a Foodie group that I participate in on Facebook. I mentioned my wife loves Italian food & the recommendations came pouring in. We gave them a shot & it was sooooo gooood. That's why we jumped at the opportunity to go back! Once again, they lived up to, & even exceeded our expectations.. we try something different each time & it seems like they just keep getting better. The food was excellent & service was just as good. If you go, ask for Jason.. he was more like another member of our party than a waiter.. couldn't ask for a better evening filled with good food, fun, & fellowship.. I'm already looking forward to our next trip back.. ?Dietary restrictions: My wife has a few dietary restrictions (tomato allergy.. doesn't like mayo..etc.) but they were always accommodating & made sure her dishes were made to her liking.Parking: They've got their own free parking lot & we've never had a problem finding a space.”

We ordered a bottle of a well priced Willamette Valley pinot noir that was excellent. I liked it so much that I took a picture of the label to be able to purchase it at a local wine shop. We asked the server about the bread pudding as we typically try it everywhere we go. We were torn to try the signature dessert (doughnuts) or the bread pudding and decided we had to try both. The server was so kind and ended up comping our dessert in the idea that we were "taste testing" the menu and it needed to be done for "scientific reasons." We were very appreciative and certainly didn't expect that. Great service, Great food, & Great vibe!”

“We went to Commission Row for our anniversary in February, and the staff went above and beyond to make our day special! Marissa was our waitress, and she remembered our names and our reason for coming in for dinner. Pretty sure we've never been that VIP anywhere before. We had to stay on the main floor because our young kids were with us, but the venue also offers a speakeasy downstairs for ages 21+. Planning to check that out when we secure a sitter someday. Food and drinks were so delicious! The kids (ages 6 and 7) loved the popovers for starters. The kids meal steak frites could pass for an adult meal - generous portion and flavorful. I ordered the scallops, and even though I tell myself not to order the same things over and over, it'll be tough to break away from the scallops! The Paloma drink was beautiful -- would be ideal for summertime because it's light and airy. Bonus: our kids (after they stopped being shy) went with staff to check out the king crabs that were on display. We watched them learning and loving the crash lesson on the food at Commission Row! This venue opened earlier this year and is located downtown by Gainbridge Fieldhouse. There was a Pacers game that night, and we saw plenty of people leaving Commission Row in their gear, heading over to the game. Excellent date night idea for local sports enthusiasts! Commission Row offers valet parking, which we gladly accepted to avoid the winter chill. Valet was so sweet and had our car ready when it was time to leave. We will 100% return, and I hope we can request Marissa again. She was so caring and made a great dinner experience even better!”

The oysters were as fresh as they come with fresh ground horse radish.When I could not decide between the tenderloin and lobster and the double cut lamb chops, I asked our waiter Carter (who by the way was fantastic and I would highly recommend that you ask for him) which of the two dishes I would be the most sad that I missed, he recommended immediately without hesitation the lamb chops. And I’m here to tell you what, they were spectacular! I had mine cooked to order at medium and they were perfect and delicious.I finished my meal off with the coconut cream pie which was truly out of this world excellent!We pretty much rolled out of there in the most delightful food coma I’ve ever been in!Thank you Carter and the Capital Grille for a most wonderful and memorable meal!”

7525 E 96th St, Indianapolis

“We have made a weekly visit to Incredible India for sometime now. There are many Indian dining experiences in the area, however no one competes with Incredible India. Walking in the door you are greeted with the feel of Imperial India. Always welcomed by friendly staff. We have yet eaten off the menu as the lunch buffet has so many tasty offerings which change often. On the drive over I was thinking I might have to order from the menu so I could get some Samosa and some Saag. To my delight it was Sunday and the special weekend buffet was being served, offering both items. As you enter the dining room a fresh appetizer bar greets you. Today we enjoyed Samosa Chat (excellent). Everything on the buffet line was fresh and warm. Each item had unique seasoning and flavor, which in my opinion differentiates Incredible India from other similar establishments. My wife and I like to enjoy some milk sweets and hot Chai after a nice Indian meal and they are both available as part of the buffet.Service is great, the environment and atmosphere transport you to India for this culinary experience and the food will keep us coming back for more and more. I highly recommend this restaurant.”

Gip Got Tips 2073 N Emerson Ave, Indianapolis Barbecue • $$
2073 N Emerson Ave, Indianapolis

“I learned about gips got tips from following the black dolla Indy facebook page. I am Kansas born and raised but relocated to Indiana about 3 years ago and have been searching high and low for good BBQ!! I’ve tried a few places around the city but nothing compares to this!! I drive about 25 minutes from Fishers to Indianapolis but the food is always worth the the trip. Their customer service is ALWAYS on point and I’ve been back every week for the past month. I had my mom and her husband try it today (mom’s a big critic) and she absolutely loved her rip tip dinner! I did a walk in order today and waited in the car for about 10 minutes when a sweet young lady met me at the door to bring it out!! The price is reasonable for the amount and quality of the food. For about $22 I was able to get a rip tip dinner which included sauce on the meat, sauce on the side ($1 charge for the side of sauce) 2 sides (I chose double fries) and a bread slice. We spent $68 total for all 3 dinners with sides of sauce. Good price/quality and absolutely delicious!! The owner’s wife is very pleasant to speak with when I call to make sure they have what I want because they do sell out fast sometimes. I hope this business stays around for a long time. I am definitely a loyal customer now!!”

“First off, let me just say that the bar staff here are so friendly truly made my experience here memorable. I had just left the bar nowhere special before I walked into this establishment, which where I had an awful experience at, and I decided to try The ball & biscuit and I’m so glad that I did. The cocktail menu they have available here was amazing but I’m a pretty picky person when it comes to my taste preferences in craft cocktails. I expressed my preferences to Casey the bartender and her and Ryan both worked together in coming up with a delicious cocktail to fit what I wanted. I was extremely impressed with the cocktail they made for me based off of me just stating that I loved egg whites and gin. My cocktail was delicious, they had created a grapefruit gin fiz for me and the presentation of the cocktail was amazing. The bar staff and Todd also gave me some wonderful suggestions as to other places I could visit as a tourist in this city which was super helpful. I hope to visit this place soon with friends. Thank you for this wonderful experience.”

I did see Miss Debra's comment lol I am sure the Governors commissions loves your comment too for it reflect their employees and their mindsets. And the spelling of individuals is comical. This place is far from racist. I am confused how you can claim a place is racist but fail to see the kitchen, servers, dinning room was/is/always full of different cultures.
