We were seated in a private reserved room in the basement, with glass walls looking into the wine cellar. While this doesn't compare fairly with normal table seating, it made for an incredible overall experience. It felt like we had the restaurant to ourselves, between the privacy doors and the exceptional service.
For us, this was an above-and-beyond treat. For small group events in a private room, this was a top-notch experience - one that probably spoils us from ever dining in the main room.
Food was astounding - less from a single or signature dish perspective, more from the broad view: everything was excellent. Fair to say that you might find a "more perfect steak," but you'd have to search far and wide to find a more perfect meal in total.
This place is a very old and traditional steak house. I only went the one time and I ordered a dry aged New York strip medium rare. I feel like it came out medium / medium well. It was a little done for my taste and dry. I did like the seasoning and how they grilled it, it was just to well done for the order. That being said I did still eat it instead of sending it back because my friends got their food and I didn't want them to wait on it. We also had the famous shrimp cocktail which is an experience and not for faint of the heart. Service is excellent and the atmosphere was as well. Although they use fake candles which I find kind of tacky.
Service was impeccable, exceptionally courteous. Nothing sat unfilled for more than a moment or two. Plates cleared immediately. Drinks served with appropriate haste. Any food issues sorted without a moment's hassle. All this without once feeling like there were intrusions or interruptions - at times done without you even noticing.
and came in No. 7 in the US. The show stated you must get the 28oz Bone-in Porterhouse. Even though the cut is excessive in size, and not cheap, I had to try it. The place was built in the early 1900s and the feeling inside is very cool, relaxing, laid back. The bartender provided outstanding service. I did order that massive steak medium rare. They don't season the steak rather just cook it. I always season my steaks prior to cooking with salt & pepper so naked was different. It was extremely tender and mouth watering delicious. I ate every bite of that steak and can state, it has to be one of, if not the best steak in Indy. I recommend you go if you've never been. If you've been and haven't ordered the 28oz Bone-in Porterhouse, it's time to get it!
We started in the upstairs lounge where service was decent despite the massive crowd for the Big 10 championship game. It was very busy, fairly crowded, but still a respite from the madhouse that was downtown Indianapolis leading up to the game. Drinks were expensive, but pours were generous - at least for liquor.
Phenomenal service and amazing food. The atmosphere is fantastic. The shrimp cocktail, the soup, the ever-loving steaks! And the desserts, don't forget them! Just wow! May be the best meal I've ever had.
We came here for a company party. We were not let down.
Still a great place for a celebration dinner or if you just want good steak. I am not sure it is as good as it used to be. The chopped salad was very good, but the bacon pieces we a bit tough. My steak had good flavor but did not come out as hot as I would have wanted. Westbrook much sour cream on the baked potato, so much that it made it a bit cold. Good service! A fun atmosphere.
