50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Indianapolis

“We recommend Salt on Mass for its incredible consistency. The experience is always welcoming and forever delicious. My husband David treated us to a delightful dining experience for Valentine's Day Eve. (I love dining "off holiday" for a more peaceful pace.) We've dined at Salt on Mass many times and continue to be thrilled with our experience. We reserved through Open Table and were seated immediately with our on-time arrival. I love a table with a view of the room's comings and goings, so #41 was ideal, again. We were welcomed by our server Ryan, who explained he was also our bartender. (Love it - special insights on cocktails and wines.) He served us well, attentive but not too much so, and we loved his creative chocolate martini as our "appetizer." :-) We chose our dinner favorites - Chilean Sea Bass with delectable risotto for David and Salmon with expertly grilled asparagus for me. The portions remain appropriately generous, so we split the Key-Lime Chiffon Cake for dessert. Congratulations Johnny and crew for delivering another memory-making visit. Each one leaves us craving the next! Here's to you all! Sincerely satisfied, Garnet and David 2-13-25“

When we arrived, our table had a cute plaque that said “Happy birthday”. We all commented on how great the food was (and always is), we liked the atmosphere and how lovely it was we could talk and hear each other. Our server was fantastic and when she knew we were their for a birthday, she offered us a champagne toast on the house. Excellent experience and will celebrate all birthday's there. Thank you“

“The food was great just wish they would’ve gave me full clusters but I guess I got those short clusters because of the discount I was given which really wasn’t a discount because both clusters were both missing two legs a piece definitely wasn’t happy about that. Overall, customer service was great ,kind of long wait time but as for the taste, it was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again.“

“We had what may very well have been the most extraordinary dining experience in our 15+ years living in Indianapolis, thanks to the unmatched hospitality of Sean. He is, without question, the best server we have ever had. His attention to detail, warmth, and genuine care elevated an already phenomenal evening into something truly memorable. From the moment we sat down, everything was flawless. We began with oysters and the French onion soup. Do not skip the soup—it is a masterpiece in a bowl. The Chateaubriand arrived perfectly prepared, accompanied by impossibly good fries and glazed carrots that were simply next level. And just when we thought it could not get any better, the chocolate cake arrived. Rich, decadent, and absolutely unforgettable. Geraldine’s is a gem. But it was Sean who turned our night into something we will be talking about for years. We cannot wait to return, and we will be asking for Sean by name.“

“In on a work trip from Alabama, and this was by far the best meal we had. One of the best I have ever had. Violet was amazing and so attentive. We shared the Alfredo fries, and I had the fillet and cheesecake for desert. The atmosphere was amazing. She even gave us a tour of the building.“

“The lobster 🦞 & sirloin 👍🏽The cocktail 🍹 drinks 😋“

“We had such a great experience here! The food was absolutely delicious—every bite hit the spot. The hostess was super friendly and welcoming, and our waiter made the meal even better with attentive and cheerful service. The whole vibe of the place is relaxed and enjoyable, making it easy to just sit back and enjoy your meal. Honestly, everything came together perfectly—the food, the service, and the atmosphere. I’d definitely come back here again, whether it’s for a casual night out or a special meal. If you’re in the area and looking for a spot with great flavors and a friendly staff, this place is a total winner. Highly recommend checking it out—you won’t leave disappointed!“
