Root & Bone - Indianapolis

Great food, but the staff takes it to the next level. So welcoming. Highly suggest!

They make a lot of chicken and pork dishes, presentation is good and the food is also.
They could use some acoustic help, can be a little noisy.

We were looking for a place to eat after Valentine’s Day, and since reservations were available at Root & Bone, we decided to give it a try. We’re new to Indy and are still looking for our regular go to spots.

The service was excellent and the atmosphere was enjoyable, especially for a Sunday evening. Unfortunately, the food did not match the quality of the service. My meal, the Indiana Schnitzel, was very bland and lacked seasoning and flavor. It felt like very little effort went into the preparation. My fiancé ordered the salmon, which was decent but also lacking flavor.
The guests sitting next to us overheard our conversation and shared that they had been there before and also found the food disappointing. They mentioned their last two visits were unsatisfactory, and that this may be their final time dining there.

Our bill came to $107, and honestly, we felt we could have had a similar.. or better food experience at a basic chain restaurant, aside from the great service and pleasant atmosphere. Perhaps we caught the kitchen on an off night or things were rushed.

At this time, this isn’t a restaurant I would recommend for a foodie or someone who appreciates bold flavors, as we do. Thanks for reading — I hope this helps.

Excellent Food and Service at a price. I am never disappointed with the experience at Root and Bone!

Service and food was outstanding. Only downside was another customer wandering around and interrupting our dinner to ask if wood be leaving soon because she wanted our table. Feel like the staff could have done more to shut that down as we had only been at our table for 45 minutes.

So disappointed it was not a tea room which they have tried to promote. They have tried to give you a experience but are missing parts of it. It's almost like a local restaurant tied up with some things to make it more elegant. It misses the mark. We left 3/4 of the food on the plate

I love Root and Bone, the real hidden treasure is their breakfast. Who knew their breakfast was SO incredibly good? It's updated and the taste is hearty and high end. I get the chicken and waffles, the chicken is southern style breaded which seriously feeds my soul! This is always my go to when I'm in the mid-town area.

We enjoyed a brunch after church. The food was excellent, service was spot on. The atmosphere was very pleasant.

We were seated in the bar. We had the bartender as our waiter. With it being so busy he was extremely stretched. We didn't realize there were specials until I overheard another waiter saying them. We went without additional drinks for a long time during our meal. No fault of the bartender he was doing his best.

We loved this restaurant, and we will definitely be back. Lots of great menu options, and we would love to try other things. Our server was outstanding, and we were especially happy how he paced our experience from cocktails to appetizers to the meal to dessert to bill pay. Excellent!

Best food ive had in Indy so far

Not impressed. The man I spoke to on the phone was a gem. However, the man working the bar is abrasive to interact with. The food is mediocre and overpriced. The Mac n cheese was bland. The mashed potatoes tasted burnt and flavorless. The chicken was, at best, very salty. I guess the salt in the chicken makes up for the lack of seasoning in the sides overall, if you can keep your money and try something else.

The service was great. It wasn't too busy and we were seated in arrival. The food and drinks were delicious. Our waitress was great. Not a lot of parking. Only two restrooms. Otherwise was a cute spot with great food.
