Restaurants near Indianapolis Zoo

I took my sister out for a much needed dinner date. As expected, food and service did not disappoint! We had the pleasure of Joachim serving us, and he was nothing short of wonderful. He was very personable, timely, and offered great suggestions! We had ordered the meatballs as a starter. They were quite hearty and flavorful. The crispy basil, and burrata was a lovely touch to the dish. For dinner we shared the Chilean seabass, and Ora King salmon. The fish were cooked perfectly, and the lobster risotto was a great paring for the salmon. When dessert time came we chose the famous 14 layer chocolate cake, and lemon ricotta cake. As usual the chocolate cake exceeded expectations. The seasonal lemon cake had a honey tulle that added the perfect crunch. Both desserts were a great choice to end off a lovely meal. Our dinner experience was a beautifully short vacation from life. I would absolutely recommend, and we will be back in soon!

Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere was a relaxing early Sunday dinner vibe.

This is a great place! it's part of the small group that owns, among others, the restaurant St. Elmo, which is one of the best steakhouses I've ever experienced. In fact, they share some of the same signature dishes, including the legendary (and very spicy!) shrimp cocktail. A beautiful and open dining room, with lots of different seating areas (including a marvelous section by the bar) provide lots of different options for every "mood" of patron. The food was great, the prices reasonable. Delightful!

BEST restaurant in Indianapolis. Visiting this area often, I've dined in most of the restaurants, but my absolute favorite is St. Elmo. Outstanding kitchen (legendary beef!), everything is very carefully sourced and painstakingly prepared from outstanding recipes. With many visits, it's a privilege to say that every experience has been an outstanding one, and every server is superb This time, "Sydney" assisted us with the exemplary professionalism and warmth that we have come to expect from St. Elmo. Even if you have only one opportunity for a meal, while you're in town, GO THERE. If you have two opportunities, go there TWICE!

Very nice and good food and drinks zzzxzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
