Adam was a fantastic server! The food, as always, was excellent. They had just run out of the Walleye (what I always get), so I was wavering on what to order. Based on Adam's description of the night's special (blackened shrimp, sausage, rice, with cajun sauce), I decided to give it a try-- it was so yummy! Our Table never disappoints!

Broad Ripple / Meridian - Kessler

About the restaurant

Ambrosia was founded on the principle that the best food - and the best times of our lives - begin with love. In the Pizzi family kitchen in Liguria, Italy, the dinner table was a treasured space for family and friends. Since 1979, the Pizzi family, which now includes Gino's daughters Manuela, Anna, and Francesca, has been bringing that same love and commitment to the Ambrosia kitchen. Regular patrons and staff are all part of the family, and first-time visitors are welcomed like old friends.

Our server Bethany was delightful and very helpful. After an Italian 75 cocktail we had Caprese salad with Burrata, fettuccine Bolognese, Veal piccata and tiramisu for dessert. Just thinking about it is making my mouth water!

Fortville

About the restaurant

After years of working Downtown Indianapolis, Executive Chef/Owner Jake Burgess decided to come home and open an establishment that delivered the style of service and quality of food he had become accustomed to. FoxGardin is tucked away on quaint Main Street in Fortville.

Minutes to Geist, Fishers, Klipsch Music Center, and I-69, and only 25-30 from downtown Indy, FoxGardin Kitchen & Ale is a perfect spot to sneak away, while still being close to everything!

***FoxGardin Kitchen & Ale is a 21+ establishment. ***
