“While visiting our son in Indy, we ate here for the first time on May 9th. We had a party of 5. It was around 9:30 pm. We had a small wait of around 20 minutes. When we sat down , we had a small wait before our drink orders were taken. The manager walked by and she immediately noticed that we were waiting. She took our drink orders without being asked. We had a wonderful experience. The food was great ! The drinks were great. The service was great ! We’ll be back!“
