Neighborhood Bistro offering a diverse menu inspired by seasonal and local ingredients, our small dining room of just nine tables and four bar seats boasts exposed brick & original hardwood floors.

The service is impeccable and the food is delicious and inventive. Our server, Alexander, was friendly and attentive and also very knowledgeable. We enjoyed learning about the wine from him and their official somm, Jared. At the end of the evening we had to speed up the pace and they handled that very well.

Yard House is a very lively place to eat with a group. I have been to Yard House Indy several times. And I thought it would be the perfect place to celebrate my 50th birthday. The food is fabulous, the brews are great, the service is great, and it has that hometown sports bar feel. My fiance and I had the Jambalya with the Jasmine Rice. Excellent. I've traveled to NOLA several times in my life and enjoy Cajun flavors. This recipe is amazing. I really enjoyed being pampered on my birthday. Having my kids around me while we had fantastic food and fun made for a first-rate evening.

One of our all time favorites! Crabcakes appetizer is always top notch. Pasta Carbonara, fettuccine Alfredo and grilled halibut were all quite good. A little bit of sorbet and some of their home-made limoncello and you’ve got a wonderful dinner!
