   Service was slower than we have experienced before. Noise level on patio covered area is over the top, unable to even have a conversation and hear everything. Calamari appetizer, was that even Calamari? Two grilled fisherman platters were ordered, and both had dried or over cooked lobster tails. Staff was good about wishing our guest Happy Birthday.

   The food is always good here, that is why it is one of my go to places to eat. Aston was an excellent server and always gives top service.

   We have always had good experiences in past but it has been a while since we have went here. The place has been remodeled inside and appears very clean. My bad experience this visit was the food I received. I like their pork chops normally. This time one was way over cooked, hard to cut and dry. The bigger concern was the other was 1/2 raw and cold inside. I brought it to the server’s attention and was given the flippant reply “we cook them to medium if you want it more done you have to ask up front”. This is a totally unacceptable reply in a restaurant that is more upscale. I didn’t want a discount or anything like that. Good thing because I wasn’t even offered a replacement pork chop so I could at least eat the dinner I paid my hard earned money to have and went home still hungry.

   My wife and I frequent Rick’s often. This time, we were celebrating her birthday. The restaurant was very busy on a Sunday evening. Nevertheless, we were seated quickly and promptly served. The waiter was very friendly throughout the evening, the food was great, and we had the Key Lime pie for dessert, which is one of our favorites. This is definitely the place to go during the summer in Indy with the outdoor seating, view of Eagle Creek, delicious food/drinks and excellent service.

   Sunday brunch was great. The menu is good with a lot of variety. Our food was hot and delicious. Our server was Ashton and she was wonderful - both professional and personable. The atmosphere here is always exceptional. The view is beautiful and it is so nice to be able to sit outside, even on cool days. It was a great experience as always!

   Thoroughly enjoyed our visit out on the deck overlooking the reservoir. We began with the baked goat cheese appetizer which was very tasty. The jumbo shrimp cocktail was marvelous too. The sirloin dinner and double pork chop entrees were amazing. The side choices with the entrees were plentiful to choose from as well as delicious. Service was smooth and much appreciated. Great variety of selections in all price ranges. We hadn’t visited in a few years and we were very impressed and plan to return for another delicious dining experience.
