    We sat at the Chef table and had a tasting dinner. As always Chef Oakley did an amazing job . The presentation was outstanding and the food delicious. Oakleys is by far one of Indy’s top restaurants in the city.

    Our reservation last evening was disappointing. As usual, the food was very good. The cocktail were disappointing. My martini was just not good and the craft cocktail was the same. Both were maybe 3/4 full served in small glasses. The service was really bad. Each course was delivered no less than 30 minutes after we had finished the previous course. At first I thought it was due to staffing levels then realized other tables were better serviced. Our waiter said “she has fired them up” when we asked about the next course. I’m not sure who fired them up or who needed it but the result was poor. I suppose everyone is entitled to a bad day.
