The chef/food is always fantastic. The waitstaff is too and on this visit we had a great time being served by Nikki (sp?) who was awesome and hilarious. Another member of the staff (new guy from Greenwood…whose name we didn’t catch) also made this a very memorable visit.

The food was fantastic! Marcus and Mike helped our group of 15, they were fun fast and did a 1st rate job! I picked this place because it was 15 minute walk from Pacers stadium and only restaurant to make a 15 person Reservation on Open Table without a credit card! Since there were no events they had our two round tables prepared and setup in the dining hall next to main bar, which was great cause young kids got to run around and made the occasion that much more enjoyable and super private!!

Our dining experience was outstanding! The restaurant had very good vibes and loved the decor. We dined in the McGregor room and it was very moody and private. Our server Anna was awesome and gave us great service! We will be returning soon
