    Food and service were excellent. Only one minor “miss”: the tartiflette did not have the roasted red peppers indicated on the menu which would have bumped up the flavor. You can have profiteroles for dessert which are not served many places in Indianapolis. We will definitely return.

    This was an absolutely lovely evening out with a friend. Terrific service and attention to fine details. We enjoyed our martini cocktails, along with delicious dates wrapped in bacon with a decadent filling. That was followed by our main courses that were beautifully presented and very flavorful. This restaurant is showcasing inventive and artistic french inspired dishes. Highly recommend and will be bringing more friends out here.

    The chicken paillard was delicious and always a favorite. Never disappoints. We had profiteroles for dessert with Madeline’s. Both amazing. Half price wine bottles on Wednesday make this such a great spot for dinner with friends!!

    The ambiance of the Penthouse was a wonderful throwback to elegant quietness. The student waitstaff could not be more enthusiastic and willing to cater to our every need. The French cuisine was beautifully prepared. My wife enjoyed the charcuterie. My salmon Rillette was beautifully presented (if, a little tasteless. My only minor complaint). Wife had the Coq au Vin. It was excellent. I had the poached fish. The Beurre Blanc was sublime! Despite our concern that we didn't have enough room for dessert, my wife wasted no time gobbling up her Creme Brulee and I wasted no time digging into my pumpkin cheesecake. A wonderful experience that we will do again.
