Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Avon

Our experience was just about perfect in every way except I didn’t like my entree. I ordered the Seafood Lasagna and it had a lot of cheese and a creamy sauce only a few pieces of sea food in it. I was also disappointed with my dessert it was chocolate dipped strawberries and the berries were small and didn’t have much chocolate on them. My wife loved her entree she got the chicken Marsala. Our server was amazing he took good care of us. We think the Expresso martinis we had may be the best we have ever had. We love Iozzo’s and we will back it is one of our favorite restaurants in Indianapolis.

It had been over half a decade since we’d been to Traders Point, but after seeing their Valentine’s Day menu, we decided it was worth making a Valentine’s Day mini weekend of it. The Harpist music was subtle enough for background, but loud enough to enjoy. Once we realized she was playing pop music songs, we enjoyed guessing them. We ordered the Valentine’s Day Flight half because my wife wanted to see how they were garnished. She really like the bold orange elder flower mimosa and lemon lavender French 75. Will try and recreate at home, you can se me the garnishes in pictures. Orange peel opened up like a rose bud in the Negroni. I had their Honey Bunch (take on a manhattan), pecans work well with Bourbon and honey, who knew? Pecan crumble garnish made it festive and change the taste. And then a Feisty Cabernet Sauvignon to go with dinner. We added a cheese and meat charcuterie board to accompany the meal. Favorite was a goat cheese from California that had Moon in the name of the creamery, we are calling to see if we can be reminded of the creamery. Their own award winning cheese was very good as well. We happily finished everything in the board. We both really like my wife’s crab stuffed shrimp starter. I had meatballs that were a little undercooked in the middle for wife’s preference, but I was quite happy. We are on opposite ends of the cooking temperature spectrum. We were both really happy with our mains. Porkchop with spiced seeet potato swisschard for her and filet with added blue cheese whipped potato brussel sprouts for me. Don’t sleep on the Ice Cream Sundae. It’s a creamery. With house made toffee crumble. Best sundae ever. She liked her cherry chocalate cheesecake, but brought most of it home. And of course on the way out, bought 2 bottles of chocolate milk to take home to the kids. If you are from out of town, always bring a cooler to Traders Point.

My husband and I traveled to Indianapolis for Valentine's Weekend and enjoyed an amazing dinner. The service from Michael, our waiter, was amazing. The meal was delicious. The sea bass with scallops and lobster risotto was the best. The staff was even willing to save ur reservation after arriving 16 minutes late due to the arrival flight being late. Thank you for being so considerate to us out-of-town guest on one of the busiest nights of the year, Valentine’s Day!

Rick's is my "go to" restaurant to celebrate something special. This was Valentine's Day. They never disappoint me. Our server, Amanda, was excellent. It was very busy, but she acted like we were her only customers. Very personable.

Best authentic curries that we’ve found in our area. The flavors were delicious. Great food and great place for a relaxing meal.
