“Very disappointing experience at Buffalo Wild Wings.

We waited 40 minutes just to place our order, even though there were only about four tables. Our drinks were never refilled unless we asked.

The reason for the slow service seemed to be that our waitress was trying to eat her lunch while serving tables, which felt unfair both for us as customers and for her as an employee.

To make things worse, the fries we ordered had a hair in them, and when we told the staff, they simply ignored it.

We used to come here when we wanted something quick and simple, but after this experience we won’t be coming back.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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“

“I absolutely loved the atmosphere of the Aristocrat. It was warm, moody, historic, and very ambient all at once. Each piece of decor was very interesting to look at and had a bit of history to it. The food was great as well, I recommend their house burger or fish and chips. Service was great.“

“Visited the shop while passing through on business calls and was able to explore the wide variety of curated gifts with affordable prices! Picked up some stickers, mugs, popcorn and jams for my family. The store is well stocked and very BUT my post is too highlight the employee managing the store, I did not catch her name-please let her know my time talking with her, her recommendations and welcoming personality made my day“

“food was definitely delicious!“

“Everything from the minute you walk in the front door till the time you leave - the service is impeccable and the staff make you feel like family. The food presentation and flavors are a culinary experience explosion in your mouth - it’s that good! … I had the delicious Tart. Seriously, it was so scrumptious and I felt like royalty when the dish was placed infront of me. Incredible. Delicious. Unbelievable.“

“Had dinner on Monday for a private event. I’m still thinking about it days later. Best meal I’ve had in a while. The brisket was cooked so uniquely I’ve never had anything like it. 15/10. Service was excellent.“

“Flower Child is a cute, welcoming space, and one of the biggest wins for us is how many options my celiac wife can actually have. That is not something we’re used to, so it’s really nice to go somewhere where she has more than one or two safe choices.

The food is consistently good, even when a dish doesn’t completely land for me. Some of the spice combinations are very much in the fusion category, and while I’ve never had a bad meal here, a few things have been more “interesting” than amazing. No shade at all, just part of the adventure.

If you’re a picky eater, I’d recommend sticking with the fan favorites. But if you’re open to trying something a little different, this is a fun spot with a lot of solid options.“

“Good breakfast and Peruvian food. Can’t wait to try the Mexican dishes - yum!“

“We had our company dinner at Harry & Izzy's, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service was absolutely phenomenal—our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure every detail was taken care of throughout the evening. Despite our larger group, everything was handled smoothly and professionally.
The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff made our event feel special. If you're looking for a great place for a business dinner, celebration, or just a wonderful meal, I highly recommend Harry & Izzy's. We will definitely be back!“

“My first visit here with my Indy family on 6/20/21. There was a total of four of us. We had reservations. We were greeted up upon entry and seated at our dining table at a booth section. I honestly forgot the occasion as to why we came here to eat dinner and celebrate. Nevertheless, it's a beautiful restaurant. Very spacious and clean. The ambience setting was comfortable, and I enjoyed the interior aesthetics of the restaurant.

I ordered shrimp and grits. It was flavorful and delicious! 😋 The rest of my family had ordered the caramelized grilled Sea scallops, Filet mignon, and Maine lobster tail, lobster bisque and avocado toast. They all enjoyed their meal. Our server was great and pretty attentive.

I would definitely return again.🤩“

“One of my all-time favorite restaurants! Anytime we’re in Indy, this is a must-visit for us.

“If we could give them more than a 5 Star rating we would! We had a party of 25+ people that we needed to reserve a room for an after engagement dinner and everyone we spoke with on the phone and at the restaurant were super helpful and accommodating. We have been customers for years and this was our first time having something this big. Hats off to all who were involved and making all of us feel so welcomed. They even gave the engagement couple a card signed by all the staff…..who does that anymore?? We are big on great customer service and it’s rare to find these days. Again, thank you everyone we are customers for life!“
