I paid the $8 to upgrade the mac to lobster mac...so delicious & so worth it (the upgrade was so unnecessary but so necessary, iykyk!). I also love that they allow you to mix & match on the sliders (filet, fried shrimp, or wagyu beef with Brie). I went with 1 filet and 1 wagyu beef, which was also perfect! Would love to try the fried shrimp at some point. The accompanying aiolis perfectly complemented the sliders! I completed my meal with a lemon drop martini. Service was friendly & attentive. Will definitely keep this spot in mind the next time I return to Indy & would highly recommend to others. In fact, I found it superior to my experience @ Harry & Izzy's--much more my vibe!

The period atmosphere and ambience is absolutely intoxicating. This is a perfect starting place for pre-dinner cocktails, leading up to a fine dining experience at Saint Elmo's Steakhouse. The service was superb, friendly with plenty of recommendations on what to try. This venue gets my highest recommendation, and I very much look forward to a return visit, and hopefully to introduce some of my closest friends to this incredible experience.

There were two menu items that we inquired about the ingredients and if they were gluten free. The server asked the cook and we were told they were gluten free. Everything else they ordered was marked GF on the menu. Both girls ended up sick and one ended up in the ER with gluten contamination. Staff needs to be better trained. This could end up being a deadly mistake. Think twice if you have food allergies before dining here.

Later, our bartender told us the place would get busy in about an hour. As soon as we sat down at the bar, we were greeted by our bartender, Soso. She was delightful! So friendly and helpful with drink recommendations. And she was spot on! She suggested a cocktail not on the menu, a Tequila Sunrise with Peach Schnapps. Something I'd never had before. It was divine! My husband had the Paradox Paloma - also tasty. We asked for Tequila Old Fashioneds for round 2. Delicious! Our fried plantain appetizers took no time to come out. They were crisp and caramelized on the outside and tender and sweet on the inside. Our entrees came out quickly too. We shared the Buffalo Dry Rubbed Chicken Wings. They were bursting with flavor! So glad we wandered across Paradox Lounge. Can't wait to go back!

My friend and I each got a few cocktails and split the "girl dinner" on the menu.

Caipirinha - cachaca, lime, sugar -- 3/5 * sort of a standard Brazilian cocktail you would get but we didn't love it Espresso martini - vanilla infused vodka, espresso, coffee liqueur, cinnamon infused aromatic bitters -- 4/5 * definitely our favorite of the night but not as frothy as I hoped Girl Dinner - large Caesar salad and truffle fries -- 4/5 *just personal preference but I don't care for pickled onions in a salad but overall the salad/dressing was solid / the truffle fries and sauce were perfect!
