    We were celebrating an anniversary so we travelled 3 hours from Cincinnati to French Lick Resort and had dinner at their flagship restaurant, the 1875 Steakhouse. It was a great experience from the atmosphere to the service and, of course, to the food. We split an 8 ounce filet and added grilled asparagus and a baked potato as sides. Plus some wine, of course. Everything was right on the mark and it was probably one of the best dinners we've had in a long time. Quality at this level comes with a price but we managed to get out of there for under $200 including tax and tip. On the whole, I would say it was worth it. It's a "special occasion" place but one that is sure to please.

    The desert was the best part by far! The atmosphere was very inviting and the service was great. Although I wasn't impressed by the plating, it seemed to be rushed, and the drinks weren't "fine dining" in my opinion, I ordered an old fashion then ended up sending it back. Over all it's a very interesting story with a lot of history but it was "just okay".

    This is a nice steakhouse located within the French Lick Resort. They have a decent cocktail list, a few whiskeys (not as many as I would've expected), and a good wine selection. I opted for the French Lick Manhattan which uses amaretto instead of vermouth. It was pretty tasty! The service was top notch. Our servers were knowledgeable and always around. The ambiance was meh. We were sat near the kitchen and the windows caused the sun to shine directly in half our parties eyes. Not great. The food is good, probably a little overpriced, but as expected for a "resort" hotel. Would I go back, sure, so long as I wasn't paying.

    TLDR: Entrees were great but a few small things keep this from being a 5 star experience. Seated at 9pm in the area furthest away from the kitchen. The kitchen here is pretty much an open kitchen, and when I walked to that end it was very, very noisy. There are some private dining areas over there with doors you can close, but may want to keep this in mind if you're asking for specific seats. Started with a salad that my wife and I split. It was okay, dressing had a good light anchovy taste to it. The lone crostini was not worth the plate space it took up. Some fresh croutons would have made this better. I also had a bowl of the potato and chorizo soup. Southern Indiana isn't exactly known for its spices so having this after being in the area for a couple days was a welcome change to my taste buds. Honestly this was great, and I'd order this again. I went with the pork chops and they were tasty and filling, glaze added to it while not overpowering. My wife ordered the ribeye, medium rare, and I think she ordered the better dish. The cut of her ribeye was high quality and it was cooked perfectly. Practically melts in your mouth like butter. We also ordered a side of garlic mashed potatoes. Normally with steakhouses, you order a side and its enough for two or maybe even three people. Not so much here. It was a very small portion. I don't know why they cheeped out on a dish like this, but some more potatoes would have been nice. Chocolate torte was good, but the raspberry glaze was a bit overpowering. Honestly would've been better without it. Prices were honestly on par with your typical downtown steakhouse, maybe a tad higher because you're a bit of a captive audience. Overall I think this is a solid steakhouse experience with a little bit that could push it up to 5 stars

    Snagged a last minute reservation while visiting French Lick for a work trip. We started off at the bar with some cocktails which were okay, not fantastic. Especially given the $26 cost for an old fashioned. Once seated, we were served by Mimi, who was amazing! We were sat in the back room "wine cellar" away from the main dining room with only one other table but she made sure we were taken care of all evening. The food from the shrimp cocktail to the filet, to cheesecake all tasted delicious. This is a great option for dinner while in the area as long as you're willing to pay top dollar for a meal.

    Food, drinks, service, atmosphere... outstanding. This was one of the best meals I've had in recent memory. My son and I dined here while staying at partnering hotel West Baden, and truly enjoyed the whole experience. Our server was lovely, great pacing, never made us feel rushed, capably explained the menu and answered our questions. I'm a bourbon girl, and the French Lick Manhattan with a crushed candied almond rim was delicious. We debated sharing the porterhouse, but my son likes his steak a little less done than I do. He LOVED his medium rare ribeye, declaring it perfectly cooked. My flat iron steak/shrimp surf and turf was likewise fantastic. We also shared the garlic mashed potatoes, sauteed mushrooms and horseradish butter. Between the two of us, we pretty much devoured everything. I was just sad we were too full to try a dessert - the choices looked amazing. This is a high-end, fine-dining experience for sure, but if you're staying at the hotel and in the mood for a splurge, make a reservation and ENJOY. We did. p.s. If you can visit French Lick/West Baden during the holidays, even better. They are both gorgeous when decorated accordingly.

    Two whiskeys please

    The war with hunger rages on, but set aside for now. Tonight was all about our anniversary. A pause in our sometimes hectic lives, but not a pause for wanting good food and a memorable experience. 1875 took us back to a time where service and food both shined. And it was an experience to remember. I went back and forth between 4 and 5 and here is why. First Alex our waiter was a standout in service and only led what seemed to be an all star cast. The service team from Lily at the front to everyone else made sure it was a great experience. Next and this was key, the steak at a steak house was cooked to perfection. We got exactly what we asked for, medium rare. And Alex was around shortly after cutting in to make sure it was as it should be. I got a gorgonzola sauce, only complaint is there should have been more. Wife got the filet and it was done to perfection as well. We also ordered a side of garlic mash which were pretty good, nothing outstanding until you add the gorgonzola sauce and whamo! Should be on there all the time. The only other negative was the bar. They had a new guy there and well.. the asst mgr as well teaching him. Just took too long, not rinsing shakers, didn't acknowledge some guest and it wasn't busy. But hey new guy and all, I'm sure with how great everything else was the bar will be stellar next trip. So you tell me should this be a five star rating? I have been to five star places. And what really defines that? For me the service, food, and over all ambiance need to be there. So though I started this as a 4 star and being on the fence, looking back over the last two years I think this may be the new five star. I mean it was great. So this is why I gave it 5. My first in a while. As I continue my war on my hunger and fight to find new food worthy experiences I will reevaluate my ratings as well as how I few the new food scene. Nom nom... happy food journey all. And I appreciate your feedback.

    Anniversary dinner Delicious and great service

    Great food, service and atmosphere! Recommend for any special occasion and weekend getaway.

    Finally!

    Was needing an elevated dinner with my family for our last meal of the vacation. Being a foodie, I had not been impressed with the restaurants in French Lick or at the resort. I had a few friends recommend this place and I tried a few times to reserve a table through Open Table. Unfortunately, nothing was open. I stopped by on our way to our room, and the hostess was extremely accommodating and was able to fit us in at 6:15 the following day. Our server, JJ was wonderful, attentive and kind since our children joined us. My daughter who is extremely aware of service and bathrooms commented on both! My kids were very happy with their meals and I had the chefs special of the Chilean Sea Bass over pearl rice. This was my BEST meal of the whole trip! JJ brought us a complimentary anniversary dessert which my kids loved. Thank you for a delicious dinner and very special night with my family.

    The food was very bland and overpriced for what we received. The steak was over cooked and under seasoned.

An astute wait staff would have asked how his burger was and if she looked at it, it was well done, no red, or pink. My brother's dessert was excellent. We have eaten at Sinclair several times and it was better because of the food was done as requested and waitstaff was attendant.

After navigating the charming but challenging rural byways-- which included horse-drawn buggies and flooded out roads--tourists from the north deserve a good meal when they arrive, and they will get one. My lunch companion chose a Reuben, which was served on delicious dark rye bread, along with a cup of fresh fruit. Yes fresh, not commercially prepared. I chose the 1/2 soup and sandwich. Flavorful tomato basil soup and half of a club on focacia? I believe. That was a little difficult to eat, but it tasted good. I chose French fries with mine, which were hot and plentiful. We both had iced tea which was fresh and good but we were never offered a refill. Service was efficient but not super attentive. The snack mix that arrived with water when we sat down was a nice touch. Oh, and did I mention the atmosphere in which we dined? Only the 8th wonder of the world. See it for yourself. Although this hotel seemed less popular than its nearby sister hotel, French Lick Springs, West Baden hotel was a better experience for a day visitor. We had a lovely day; well worth the trip.

    Visiting French Lick for our anniversary weekend and stopped in to see all the Larry Bird…read morememorabilia. Went ahead and got a couple of drinks and food here, and it was awesome. The fish and chips are bomb, and if the soup of the day is chili...trust me, get it. Lindsay was our server, and she was super sweet too. Overall, loved the food, portions are more than enough, and the service was great. Side Note - The other reviews here are some of the oddest I've seen left on any restaurant ("food was excellent, service was better than most sports bars" but then 2 stars?!?) and don't know if things have turned around recently, but it was great all around!

    We had a weekend out of town and chose 33 Brick Street to eat. Before the issue on waiting almost…read moretwo hours for a table, I will preface our group had 9 people and no one myself included called ahead to reserve a table. We did learn they do not do same day reservations so keep that in mind if you'd like to try and do so. I think the wait was more an issue of our group not being prepared as opposed to the restaurant not being accommodating. Once seated we were able to eat on the patio. We started with three separate appetizers for the table. We got fried pickles, pretzel bites and breaded mushrooms. The pickles and pretzels were tasty. My girlfriend loved the mushrooms, I did not eat any since I don't like mushrooms. For our mains we got The Bird with cottage cheese and brick chips as well as the Pork Chops with a baked potato and green beans. Both meals were tasty. The sides were all great. The chips were a great vessel to dip in the cottage cheese, if you don't do such a thing regularly you're missing out! The only complaint is The Bird is listed as "smothered" in cheese and bacon. I wouldn't describe it as smothered in any way. It is on it but smothered isn't the word I would use. Overall we would come back with a smaller group and hopefully the wait is less. We enjoyed our food. I would maybe like to try another dish to see if it is better than what I got. I did however, absolutely love the decor. As a huge basketball fan this is my type of place. You don't see many Cedric Maxwell jerseys in the wild!
