    Have been there before but a little disappointed this time. I don’t know if it was because of Valentine’s Day and they were busy. Food was just not as as normal.

    Wow, this place knocked my socks off! The food was astoundingly good, I cant tell you how impressed i was with each course. The drinks were great, and our server Jo made excellent recommendations for everything. It is definitely a bit pricey but well worth it. I will eat here again on my next trip to Indianapolis!!!

    Great service first and foremost. Our waiter was absolutely fantastic. Had a sense of humor while being professional. I believe his name was Joe. Food was fantastic. The BREAD OMFG I would eat it off of the floor. AMAZING. Main course was fantastic as well getting the gnocchi and cacio e pepe with meatballs. Finished it off with dessert and it was A1.
