   Food was good but service was poor, napkins were so stiff I couldn’t use them, the To Go box was cheap, it was too loud, and I hated the table I was sat at.

   Awesome service! Delicious food! We had a party of 15 and every order was correct. Our waiter was exceptional! Also, we changed the number of our party several times and the staff very pleasant and was able to accommodate us.

   Seated out on the deck that is protected from wind by see-through screens - made for a great Sunday brunch watching the sailboats on the reservoir! Rick’s is all about the atmosphere, and they are easy to work with on group reservations. We had a breakfast pizza for the first time, delicious.

   My teenaged daughter and her friends came in for dinner after homecoming and were treated wonderfully by the staff. Thank you so much.

   It was a perfect evening for eating out on the deck overlooking the reservoir and watching the sunset. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent too! It had been years since we had been there, but so glad we decided to come back. It was a great date night experience!

   Very nice dinner sitting outside with the beautiful weather. Everyone enjoyed their dinners. From pork chops to fish tacos to scallops to crab stuffed grouper.

    Very short staffed. Never got refills or checked on. I got a pasta dish and it was sooo greasy. Today I am sick from the food I ate. Spent $140 to get sick. Very disappointed.

    I have been going to Rick's Boatyard Cafe, on occasion, nearly since they first opened. This latest visit was disappointing due to the food we received. I don’t know what has changed this time, but our dinners were smaller, over cooked, less quality, presentation on plate poor, and due to all this, the price was way over what it should have been. Quality has diminished for some time now, and really hope they turn this around soon. Really disappointed this time for sure. The server was okay, yet lacked the personal touch Rick’s use to have; something missing. I will again return, but right now only for the ambiance, and will choose the lower priced items on the menu until I notice a improvement…

    We visited on Sept 29th to celebrate my Mom’s 80th birthday and met up with friends who had never been there - it was amazing! The food was delicious and the weather was gorgeous. We sat outside for dinner and then moved to a table in the bar area for conversation and one last cocktail - Jason R. was awesome and continued to attend to us after we moved - not sure if he was supposed to but he did and we had a great time - have been there before and will continue to make it our preferred spot in Indy!

    We very much enjoyed sitting in the patio! Our server was really friendly, the setting is amazing, the food was good. Overall a great experience. My only constructive feedback is that all four of us who got coffee didn’t like it. It tasted acidic or tart. We all said we wouldn’t order coffee again which is a bummer because we came for brunch and really like that sunday menu. Any chance you’d be able to change your coffee vendor?

    We had a table of six. We tried several appetizers. Stuffed mushrooms, calamari, baked goat cheese, rico dip and all was excellent. The meals had plenty. Stuffed manicotti and lobster, wild mushroom resoto, pork chops, seafood plater and one was done blackened, shrimp scampi linguini, and steak salad. We had chocolate fudge sundae and chef special white chocolate muse. The outside seating was an excellent choice. The price was equal to any dinner out when talking steak and seafood. Wonderful experience all around

    Eating outdoors on the water at Rick’s makes one feel like they are on vacation—even if it’s only 90 minutes. Their staff is wonderful! Prompt, polite, cheerful, & helpful. I have 2 intellectually disabled loved ones fine with me and they are never made to feel awkward.

    I am a vegan and Rick's changed their menu, they have no options for vegans, so I ordered rice, asparagus and mushrooms and I had to send it back twice, I even talked to the manager and he said he will correct it and my order was still not right. I was very disappointed. I am a regular at Rick's and I was very shocked how my order was handled, SMH
