“We got a to go order for my birthday. The food was delicious, of course! And the staff, especially the manager, all made me feel so special for my birthday! They even included a sweet card and some birthday candles for the birthday dessert!!! ❤️“

“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“

“The best fine dining restaurant in Indianapolis. Quality, innovation and great taste. Chef Melvin is inspired and attentive to detail. Alex Williams is an extraordinary Server and guide. Sui generis! Mariane and I are looking forward to another great evening this Thursday. JRBUKER“

“It was a very pleasant experience.“

“I loved the food and service. We had the Clobster cakes which were so fresh and delish. The greenery that looked liked decor was actually a delicious salad. We continued with the Firecracker pasta with salmon and lobster. So much meat. Everything was seasoned to perfection. I was quite impressed and will be back.“

“Recently hosted a business meeting and Kylee did a fantastic job! The entire staff went above and beyond to ensure successful evening. Shout out to the cooks for a timely and delicious evening of dinners. Would highly recommend for business dinners and look forward to visiting again in the future. Home Energy Pro’s“

“The lovely people of hickory sticks golf course were super friendly and the corse and lobby was very clean and well kept. I would recommend anyone that wants to enjoy the sun and a friendly game of golf, they go to hickory sticks!“

“The BEST crab cakes EVER!“

“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.“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ John and I had the absolute pleasure of dining at St. Elmo Steak House for Mother’s Day last year, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The atmosphere felt classic, welcoming, and full of history, which made the evening feel even more special. Our steaks were absolutely incredible — perfectly cooked, flavorful, tender, and honestly some of the best we’ve ever had. You can absolutely tell why St. Elmo’s is so well known. And of course… we have to talk about the famous horseradish cocktail sauce. WOW. It absolutely lives up to the hype. It has the perfect kick and flavor, and it’s one of those things you keep thinking about long after dinner is over. Definitely a must-try experience all on its own. What made the evening even more meaningful was celebrating Mother’s Day there together. Great food always creates memories, and this was one of those dinners we will always look back on fondly. If you’re looking for an amazing steakhouse experience with exceptional food, wonderful service, and a memorable atmosphere, St. Elmo’s is absolutely worth the visit. ❤️“

“The outside does not do this place justice. I'd categorize it as slightly upscale Italian. Inside is middle tier classy. Perfect for date night and celebrations. Food was delicious with the main dishes mostly starting at the $20 range. Ceaser salad was one of the best I have ever had. Garlic cheese bread is on the garlic-y side but we like it that way. Meatball dish was chefs kiss. We asked the waiter for wine selection recommendation and were super helpful. Wait staff was attentive.“

“We love Ali’i Poke! Delicious poke bowls. Our 3 year old loves it there too. And they went out of their way to give him some little ice cream samples, which he loved. We always recommend it to someone looking for a great lunch spot.“

“You HAVE to try Crab 99 Bar & Restaurant in Indianapolis. They seriously have the best food ever. A special shout-out to the little Asian guy who works there – he's the funniest and most awesome person I’ve ever met. Honestly, it's the best food in Indianapolis. If you ever stop by, this is a place you should visit. If you love seafood, this is THE place for you. The environment makes you feel like you’re in a high-class, five-star seafood restaurant, and you won’t ever find any kinder, more respectful customer service.“

“We had an awesome time celebrating our anniversary at The Capital Grille! Our server, Evan, and the manager, Katie, made the event even more special with thoughtful surprises. We especially loved the steak fries and dessert platter, and the elegant atmosphere made it the perfect place to celebrate. This was our first visit, but it definitely won’t be our last!“

“OMG! Some of the best food! potatoes were amazing.Everyone in my house love it. I will be going back and trying all the things. I was disappointed in myself for not getting and trying the grits when everything I ordered tonight was so great.“

“We had three (3) appetizers, calamari, shrimp and meat board - all were delicious. Then one had the blue crab cakes, filet medallions, 8oz filet mignon, and white cheese Bacon burger. We will return as the wait staff were excellent and provided enough service that we were impressed. Fished the meal off with cream Brule, carrot cake and chocolate something. Needless to say, they had to roll us outa the restaurant.“

“Great service and tasty food. Food came out super fast and was fresh and delicious.“

“10/10! The food was great, the service was warm and incredibly friendly, and the whole experience was fun. There's something entertaining and memorable about grabbing an a meal inside a gas station. It adds to the charm. Great food, great people, and a casual atmosphere that makes you want to come back. Highly recommend!“

“I took a work group of 6 for dinner and everything was excellent. They did run about 20 minutes past our reservation time to seat us but once we were accommodated the service, recommendations, cocktails and food were all exceptional. We will back if ever in the area again.“

“Great food and great service! As a college student nearby I will definitely be coming back :)“

“Spent my birthday at Mo’s and had the pleasure of dining with Fabian and Barbie. Fabian had excellent knowledge of the menu and great recommendations. Barbie made sure we had everything we needed for every course and cooked a phenomenal Farbuckle steak table side!“

“Dined on Friday and had an overall pleasant experience, but wanted to share some feedback to really knock it out of the part from a dining experience!
- The Fried Green Tomatoes, Duck Gnocchi, and Crawfish Pasta were EXCELLENT! Highly recommend ordering again
- The Oysters were a little pricey but delicious overall
- Cocktails are a 10/10 - if you are eating here, I recommend you go the cocktail vs wine route!
- We sat down at 6:30 and did not have a waitress stop by until after 6:45. In addition, we did not place our mains until 7:30 as our waitress did not pop by a ton, and ended our evening at 8:30 after eating our food when placed on our table at 8pm
- The ambiance is cozy and vibey, but I think you could use warmer lighting overall to really cozy up the place!

Overall, we will return, but will be mindful of ordering as many Oysters as we did and there is room for improvement for a better service experience!“

“The worker are nice and the food is good for check them out“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm, upscale ambiance that set the tone for an unforgettable night. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance—elegant and modern, yet still comfortable and welcoming. But let’s talk about the food—because wow. Every dish was a masterpiece! Bursting with flavor, beautifully plated, and clearly crafted with top-tier ingredients and serious culinary skill. Each bite was better than the last, and you could tell the kitchen is passionate about what they do. This wasn’t just dinner—it was an experience. If you’re looking for a place that delivers both luxury and soul, this is it. Already counting down the days until I can go back!“

“delicious, great pricing, clean and friendly staff and owner.“

“I recommend the Fish combo“

“Amazing experience! All of our food was perfection. Staff were very attentive. Jose was amazing and very thoughtful! Thanks for making our anniversary amazing!“

“Love Caplingers, but at this location I'm not sure if it's because there isn't a constant stream of customers, or what, the fish sandwich I had was just good, not excellent -- as the ones I've had from their store, and/or from their mobile unit.“

“We are new to the area and decided to try it last night. The food, drinks and staff where amazing. We will def become regulars.“

“The service was 5-star! I highly recommend the Shrimp Cayo and Mahi Mahi street tacos 😋“

“First time for my wife and myself, what a great experience!“

“We LOVE Prime 47! When we learned our son was getting married in Indianapolis, we knew we wanted Prime 47 to cater the rehearsal dinner and welcome party. We could not have been happier with that decision.

Lisa was wonderful to work with and guided us through the entire process like the true professional she is. For dinner, we had a plated meal featuring beef tenderloin and chicken. Everything came out hot, fresh and delicious. We received so many compliments, especially about how tender the beef was and how juicy the chicken was. The service team was attentive and on top of everything throughout the evening.

Prime 47 also prepared the charcuterie table, hors d’oeuvres and desserts for the welcome party—and wow, they took it to another level! The crab cakes and tenderloin sliders were especially popular.

Whatever your catering needs may be, you cannot go wrong with Prime 47. Lisa and her team exceeded our already high expectations, and we highly recommend them!“

“The service was great and the food was delicious!!!“

“We ate at the RL on Thompson Rd, in Indianapolis. Austin was our amazing server. We came for the Endless Shrimp special, as we always do. The food was hot, fresh, and yummy... but THE BEST part of our whole dining experience was AUSTIN. He was so polite and personable. He had the perfect answer for every question we had and he had drink and biscuit refills for us before we even asked. He had several full tables in our section and was quite busy, but still continued to check on us multiple times to make sure everything was good with our food and to see if we needed anything. Austin was the BEST server we have ever had at this RL in the many, many years that we have been coming there. He is a true asset to your company and I hope he is acknowledged.
*We tried the new garlic breaded shrimp as one of our 3 choices. It was good, but wouldn't order it again. I'll stick with my usual favorites...Walts and Coconut Shrimp“

“We had a private event there and I can’t say enough good about the service on the night of the event. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone’s meal was perfect. The service was to the level I have had at the finest of restaurants. Now, was it difficult to get through their phone system (yes) but that has nothing to do with the staff. I am over the top pleased with the staff, food, price and service.“

“I had red quinoa with broccoli, mixed peppers and chicken with the ginger soy sauce and it was delicious! I loved that it was cooked fresh to order!“

“My first visit to Weber Restaurant (Indianapolis). Had the salmon meal, it was good, served on a wooden plank with good ol' bbq whisky glaze. Served with pretzel biscuits (complimentary) and cheese butter. My favorite part was the Webber BBQ grill theme throughout. Good niche place if you're looking for good BBQ, everything looks like it's cooked on open flame.“

“Always have a blast! Love the banter! Staff is awesome! Food is good!“

“exelente atención, agradable ambientación referido al volumen de su música. el menú muy amplio, y su platillo en especial el molcajete de mariscos muy delicioso 😋 Gracias por su servicio.“

“Walked around The Garage in Indy looking for a new taste and I found it! Sal and Pimenta recommended the Pinhana sandwich and after eating, I would recommend a 1000%! Friendly staff, clean and delicious!“

“Una chulada están super las chelas y la comida está super like“

“Their red curry always hits the spot!“

“We are only in Indianapolis for Gencon and Christmas every year, and I always insist we visit our friends at India Garden. It is easily the best restaurant in downtown Indianapolis, and they deserve more hype!!!

We can always bring friends, because there's something for everyone on the menu, and when there is a buffet going, it's an easy way to try lots of wonderful food. Lots and lots of vegetarian options, and things that are labeled mild in spice are genuinely mild and approachable! I convinced my fiancee to go with me twice this Gencon, because is consistently easy, affordable, filling, and absolutely delicious. Maybe next year I can convince her to come to India Garden with me THREE times! ;D

I also just think the restaurant itself is very gorgeous, with white tablecloths, red cloth napkins, and calming sitar music. Servers are knowledgeable and always so easy to talk to, if you have questions. Descriptions on the menus are very thorough, and the dishes have numbers if you feel shy pronouncing the names. An extremely approachable way to try Indian food, so please don't worry if it's your first time!!

My fiancee loves anything with lamb, especially their Lamb Madras, and I am fully obsessed with Khadi Kofta and anything made with Paneer. When we go back home, I am always trying to recreate these dishes for us, but they never quite compare to what India Garden makes.

I'm daydreaming again about Kheer (rice pudding)... Ahh, I miss you already, India Garden!! <3“
