We liked the ambiance as soon as we walked in the door - not so dark as so many steakhouses are, yet the booth was intimate. We were handed menus and a separate "wine and cocktails" menu, although there weren't any cocktails listed. Service was personal, friendly and on-point if a little intrusive with the number of times our server and the maitre d' stopped by to check on things. Also, it seemed pretty obvious that a fair amount of up-selling was going on with the recommended dishes. The special beet salad they offered that evening was very good, but also very large - we're glad we got it to share! The filet was well-prepared as ordered, and the medium-rare Scottish salmon was very good with a lightly crispy finish; the green bean/red pepper side that came with the salmon had good flavor but was a little rubbery. Our server brought us a complimentary side of their bourbon mashed sweet potatoes after we got into a conversation about bourbon - nice, thoughtful touch. although we found ourselves talking about what we would've done to it to "improve" it with a little crunch of pecans or hazelnuts, etc. Overall our check for two, including two cocktails each, came to $240 with tip - pretty typical among top steakhouses, but just something to consider when planning your budget for the evening.

Great place for a business dinner or for a personal celebration. The steaks are always top notch and the seafood is surprisingly delicious for a steak house. Service is consistently good and attentive. Always one of my top 'go to' places in downtown Indianapolis. More

I travel to Indianapolis often. My wife accompanied me this time and I treated her to Oceanaire as she is a huge fan of seafood. I was lucky enough to dine at the restaurant while attending last December’s PRI event at convention center. It made a huge impression on me....so much so, I made it a point to ‘show you off’ to my wife! Thank you. More

We were celebrating my son’s All A Report Card. He chose to dine at The Eagle as his reward. Our server, Isaac, and the manager, Margo, truly went above and beyond in helping us have the best celebration lunch EVER! The grilled cheese, and the chopped salad were THE best sandwich and salad that I have EVER tasted. More

Wonderful! We were with a couple and one of them is highly allergic to gluten and dairy and it was the first time ever that she got to enjoy a good meal without worry as to what she would be able to eat. Our waitress brought her a gluten free menu and she let the chief know if my friend’s allergy. The waitress brought her gluten free bread also, and I think I saw happy tears in my friends eyes! Wonderful place! More

A very quaint spot in the old Canterbury Hotel, now the Le Meridian. I rode solo as my wife had to cancel on me at the last minute for a meeting. I was the only patron in place and the staff was great. The server was well versed on the menu and the restaurants offerings. It is an expensive place to dine but I was satisfied after my meal. Great place for after work drinks and socializing. The location is great. I had a great time. I had the 3 board CHARCUTERIE. It included some favorites of mine and allowed me to indulge in some new fare. I enjoyed my time at Spoke & Steele. More

I would recommend Binkley's simply because of the food. Our waiter (Greg) was very good. I didn't appreciate having to wait 15 minutes to be seated with no one in the restaurant and had reservations. I also didn't like the fact that their online menu didn't match their actual menu and what I actually wanted they didn't have even though the online menu noted differently. Other than that it was a great food experience. More

The restaurant was great as always. Lia was an excellent server and took very good care of us. My only negative is the parking. The is the second time I had issues with getting out of the parking lot. Lia validated my ticket but when I tried to leave the lot, it demanded $34. I called for assistance and tried to explain that I had just left the restaurant and had a validated ticket but I couldn't understand what the person was trying to tell me. I ended up paying the $34 for parking because I was holding up the line of cars leaving. My friends were in a vehicle behind me. They had the same issue and called for assistance as well. They were able to exit the parking garage with their validated ticket. This happened to me the last time I was at High Velocity, earlier in the Colts season. Not sure what I am doing wrong More
