    This is our go-to when we have tickets to a concert at The Vogue. We can park, eat at NS Social, walk to the venue and then walk back afterward. Food is consistently great as are the cocktails and wine list. We prefer sitting at high top table in the bar. We love servers Kaylee and Kevin. However, when it gets busy sometimes Kaylee does double duty: bartender and table server and can get busy. Love that the restaurant is locally owned and changes the menu items from time to time.

    I found the best pizza in Indy. The crust is to die for. I am not sure I have had better pizza.

    We had a great time although the time was much too short. We felt rushed to order. But, I suppose that should be expected on a Valentines date.
