    Terrible experience. Took 30 minutes to even get a server to notice us in an almost empty restaurant. Once we got food four out of the five meals were cold, room temperature. They refused to split meals between two people even though we ordered 5 meals for five people. The manager offered to comp us 50%, then they comped 50% of two apps. We pointed this out and they comped a bit more but still not 50%. We gave up. Do not go here. Terrible service and cold food.

    Spoke and Steele is a great dinner choice! There is plenty of variety with their menu. The drinks were delish, my personal favorite is the Lavender and Lace! The charcuterie board and lamb sliders are fantastic choices for appetizers. I tried the short ribs and that was cooked perfect with the mashed potatoes and carrots. Definitely a great option for your dinner!

    They only had two people working. The bartender and server which was also seating tables. The only sever was also the hostess.Had to walk up to the bar to get our drinks because they were sitting there for 20 minutes. We informed them before we sat down we had a show to go to and had to be done with dinner in 1.5 hours… needless to say, we were late. Only good thing was the food… but not worrh the stress and poor service.

    Nowhere does this say it's in the lobby of a hotel. We walked into an empty restaurant at 7 pm on a Saturday. We waited at the hostess stand and never saw one, and the bar had no bartender. We went to the front desk of the hotel and were like, We have reservations, and there is no one working in the restaurant. He said let me get someone, we are short-staffed. Assuming that meant a night of short staffing, we left. I have no idea how the food is because we didn't eat there. The place looked very cool, but I have no interest in a girls' night out at a hotel in Indianapolis. In a big city, this might be ok, but not in Indy.

    Laura, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're really sorry to hear about the confusion and lack of service when you arrived—especially on a Saturday evening. That’s not the first impression we aim to give. We understand how frustrating it must’ve been, especially with reservations and no clear signage or staff around. We have addressed this with the staff working that evening to ensure this oversight isn't repeated. We are also sorry to hear that you felt mislead about our location; we have always been proud to be located within the walls of the unique and distinctive Le Meridien Indianapolis. We find that the rich history of our building adds to the character of our restaurant and hope that you will consider giving us another opportunity to demonstrate such.

    Definitely not my favorite restaurant in Indy. Best part was the martini. Wish they had blue cheese olives though. Not some place Od write home about or put on a list to visit again.

    Was really excited to eat dinner here but we could not. So did a reservation that we thought was for dinner but was for only there appetizer menu and certain drinks. Another couple came in and overheard them confused as well why they made a reservation for dinner and it wasn’t an option. Should really remove those times from OpenTable if unable to have dinner.
