“Absolutely love the pumpkin pancakes so much, that I get them every visit! And summer the lemon blueberry. We ask for Layla every time, she knows what we drink and brings them before we ever ask. She jokes with my husband which he loves. She's funny, super sweet and such a great waitress. We've been coming here for a few months now, after leaving another pancake place, because of the food and service here. We bring all of out out of town guests here and upon a return visit this is where they want to come. Layla makes each visit the best part of our day!“

“Great location, great specials, and the service was on point! Thanks Jailyn for making sure everyone was taken care of!“

“Great service, we were well taken care of! Will certainly return! Great food!“

“We tried the 5 Star Indian restaurant for the first time for our new year outing tor lunch.
. We spent about $200.00 for lunch for four and also had few dishes prepared separately to take home. It was such a lovely experience and worthwhile to celebrate the beginning of our new year. All the dishes were aromatic and satisfying. Some of the dishes we tried were: Aloo samosas for appetizer, chicken curry, lamb saag. Punjabi chicken, and lamb chops to name some. All the dishes were mouthwatering except onion kulcha was not desirable. Our hostess Sukh was a pleasure to work with who checked consistently on us. The atmosphere was divine to linger in.
This Indian restaurant lives up to its name for food , service and true ambiance.
Ten stars to this Five Star Indian Cuisine¹!!!!!“

“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“

“Amazing food!! Great service!!“

“Lindsey was great! Made dinner recommendations which we loved!“

“Stopped into pick up a couple Persian rolls w/Carmel icing. I bought two and the sales lady (who I thought was being nice) said I'll give you one for free. Got home to realize all three were hard as a rock ..straight to the trash. Stop selling stale products. Usually good here ..will think twice about going back.“

“Excellent food that shouldn't be missed. Blink and you'll miss this gem of Eritrean/Ethiopian cuisine.“

“Wonderful food Beautiful atmosphere Great service Lovely place for date night“

“The food is superb at Modita!! Megan, head chef, is so dedicated to providing the best of everything for the patrons! 👍🏼“

“Thank Joe, for taking time to talk with me today! You have a very caring heart, and it shows in the pricing, cuisine, atmosphere, and all of your locations with the folks you hire. Looking forward to connecting more. Take care, and thanks again.“

“The food is excellent, and the service very friendly and welcoming. Yummy comfort food on a cold dreary winter afternoon!“

“Wonderful experience and service this evening. Our server was Flower (sorry if misspelled). She went above and beyond all evening long to make sure our experience was a positive and felt special every step of the way. The food was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommend.“

“Excellent food and friendly staff. Shout out to Kaycee for making our experience all it could be.“

“It was an utterly charming experience to see the beef and boards Christmas show. All of the staff was incredibly friendly and personable. The food was really good too but honestly, the main attraction is the performance, which single-handedly restored my Christmas spirit. There was so much energy and so much joy in the room. I would recommend this place to anyone who’s craving a theatre experience, anyone who wants to go out on a lovely date, or to families that want to support the fine arts and/or have an enriching experience. I’d also like to give the orchestra their flowers—it was the perfect accompaniment to the talented vocalists and performers on stage. 11/10 experience. I would certainly make the Christmas show a family tradition, and I look forward to the other productions in the coming year :-)“

“we went to the location in Indy on 82nd street and it was amazing, we went twice during our vacation. Super friendly staff and they were great with my son. food was incredible!“

“Great atmosphere. First timer: food was excellent. Server was fun and knowledgeable of the menu. Came for Dining Out For Life and will definitely be back.“

“Patachou rocks. Not only is the food superb. Their restrooms are always clean and the service is great. They also take the time to watch out for their patrons when they misplaced their valuables I’m a customer for life. Now if I could just get another cup of their banana nut coffee. Best cup I’ve ever had“

“This is my new favorite restaurant! Food was AMAZING! I got the spicy chicken shawarma and it tasted so good! The owners are so kind and you can tell that they really care about the quality of their food and happiness of their customers. They even gave us a free piece of baklava! This restaurant is definitely one to check out and try!“

“I work here and eat the food a few times a week! They are really fast & have plenty to choose from. Use code BB1930 for 25% off your FIRST order.“

“Our group of ten had the chef's table and it was lovely. We enjoyed the quiet room, had a visit from the chef and our meals were delicious. We ordered from the lunch menu since our reservation was noon. Dominique was attentive and served us well.“

“It was a very pleasant experience.“

“Chelsea was great! We had a great time tonight. Great food / Great drinks!“

“Excellent food and customers service I highly recommended.“

“Celebrated our son's birthday. Our daughter who is vegan was with us. They were very accommodating to her dietary restrictions. Holly our server was so helpful finding out any info we needed and assisting everyone. Thank you for a great dining experience.“

“Lovely place. The sourcing of flavors where presented perfectly. The staff made us feel welcomed“

“Everyone was super friendly, and our food and drinks did not disappoint. I went for a mocktail, and it was seriously refreshing and tasty—one of the best I’ve had in a while. Our waiter, Prince, was amazing—so attentive and even surprised us by comping our dessert, which was a sweet touch. The fish & chips? Incredible. The fish was huge—honestly as long as my forearm—and cooked perfectly. Service was quick and friendly, prices were reasonable, and everything tasted great. Honestly, it’s the kind of place where you leave happy, full, and already planning your next visit. Between the welcoming staff, tasty food, and fun drinks, this spot totally delivered. Definitely coming back soon!“

“Best Soul Food in the state of Indiana!?Grilled Cajun Catfish,mac & cheese,collard greens,customer service???“

“this is quickly becoming a hot spot in the area. its a local business that has a variety of dishes not easily found elsewhere nearby.“

“Very disappointing the parking for seniors stinks. I don’t how long I am going to be there. Going in out to pay for meters not good.“

“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.“

“Best crab Rangoon I’ve ever had. They called them crab puffs. Very large portions,drunken noodles were enough for three people. Can’t wait to try more things on the menu.“

“It’s really worth a visit! The food is AMAZING and price is on point! I wish I visited them sooner I would not have wasted my money on other places that are much less YUMMY.“

“Came here with our family of 4. Paige was our waiter and top notch. Order accuracy and timeliness was on point. Atmosphere was nice.

Only one issue, which was my steak temperature. Ordered medium rare and I would say it was more medium well. I did order the petite filet as I got a lobster tail. Our other steaks were fine. My best guess is my smaller steak cooked quicker. Anyways, I’m okay with any variation of medium so I didn’t say anything. Rare miss from this location.

(I love how Ruth Chris calls themselves family friendly. 10+ years ago we were living in Seattle with no real family or friends around. It was my birthday and Mother’s Day weekend. Wanted to take my wife somewhere nice. Decided to give the Bellevue Ruth Chris a try even with our 6 month old. Luckily our baby wasn’t fussy but have you ever tried to hold a baby and cut steak? Well the staff came over and held our baby girl. Meanwhile another staff member cut my wife’s steak and made conversation with us. We were so touched by what was the best service we’ve ever had. Maybe a steakhouse isn’t the greatest place for a 6 month old but we were 24, lonely after just having moved there, and my wife deserved something nice.

Unfortunately, I believe that location closed and I never got a chance to leave a review because that’s not something you have the time for with a baby.)

But I saw that same deep care for our kids last night from Paige. She helped to make their night memorable. For that reason, I frequent RC and recommend you do too.“

“Best bar and restaurant in central Indiana! If you haven’t been there in all the years it’s been open it’s time to go in and enjoy. Great place and great employees!!“

“This place is a great breakfast, brunch spot. Always warm and welcoming, friendly and fast service. I got a to go order today for the first time. Still efficient service but they didn't give me any condiments. it's fine because we're eating at home but if you want some with your to go, make sure you ask. I've been here about a dozen times and I can't wait for my next visit. Give them a shot! worth it!!“

“Fantastic food and people! 5 out of 5 all around. Ryan’s food is fantastic and Dee is warm, friendly and very accommodative. Best kept secret in Indy! Highly recommend you find time to visit and experience this awesome small business.“

“A ton of community events on weekends. Very reliable beer selection. Food is generally good. I'd recommend the fries and the schnitzels. I would not recommend the potato salad (not German) and the tofu bahn mi (too many strange ingredient substitutions to call it a bahn mi. It's just a sub.)“

“Everything I have had from Julieta (repeat customer) is always AMAZING. The flavors, freshness and portions are all 5 stars. The crew behind the counter, some of the nicest peeps too! I've made it a goal to expose as many friends and family to them too! Put em on your list and get some goodies!🥰“

“Best fine dining experience we’ve ever had! Our server was attentive to our needs the entire time and was extremely knowledgeable when it came to the menu. You need to experience this for yourself!! What are you waiting for….schedule your dinner reservations today!“

“The server, Nancy, was the BEST! She is so fun and knowledgeable. food was a great deal at happy hour. tasty“

“This is the only Mexican place we go to anymore. The staff is always wonderful, the food is consistently great, and the margarita frescas are excellent. I can’t say enough nice things about them!“

“The Great, the good and the meh.
The Great: We were there for the Richard Elliot show and it was nothing short of amazing. The acoustics were AMAZING!
The Good: fantastic atmosphere and friendly staff.
The Meh: The drinks were good although the whiskey selection was pretty basic.
The whole night was fantastic. Zero complaints!“

“I had the best birthday dinner visiting for my first time. Chuck was truly the best server I’ve had in my entire life, he made the experience. I get iffy dining out because it’s not a cheap thing to do and if you get a bad server or the food sucks it truly ruins the experience. The food was incredible as well… the empanadas, cauliflower (I was shooooocked over this dish)… birria and steak… the happily birthday churros were so cute and added a cherry on top for the whole experience. I will absolutely be back. 1000000000/10 loved my experience here.“

“We absolutely LOVE!!! We come up every year from Evansville for our Daughters birthday We love it so much, see you tonight !“

“The food is delicious. I love Charlestons. The gravy on the chicken fried chicken is absolutely delicious. Know, if you ask for extra gravy, they charge you. The Carrots and Mashed potatoes were delicious. I will continue to patronize Charleston's.“

“First time in, fast, friendly service and the fresh ingredients left my pallet looking forward to the next lunch visit. Beautifully created, the art is in every bite. And, on the walls! This place is a gem! 10/10!“
