The food was absolutely amazing -- everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our guests especially enjoyed the variety of brunch selections, the perfectly seasoned dishes, and the delicious dessert that made the meal feel extra special. We would also like to recognize the two gentlemen who worked our event. They were professional, attentive, patient, and made sure every detail was taken care of throughout the brunch. Their kindness and outstanding customer service truly stood out and helped make our celebration run smoothly. They made all of our guests feel comfortable and appreciated. Thank you again for helping us create such a beautiful and memorable Mother's Day celebration. We truly appreciate the wonderful experience and look forward to visiting again soon!

I have driven by this place to get to Target and Marshalls so many times, but it always seemed so…read morepacked I never really wanted to bother to stop. I did see they allow you to make reservations on Open Table, so I booked it for a weekday to try it out. It wasn't nearly as busy as the parking lot looked, there was plenty of seating. It was a nice day so they had the windows open and they also had someone playing live music so it was a tad loud but, not overly loud where you can't hear your conversation. The menu is not your typical menu, it's very crafty if that's a word. The service was very good, and she explained the menu well and we took her up on her recommendations. Turkey pastrami which I had never had before. It tastes really fresh and felt healthy. The salad comes in a little small bowl but full of goodness. It's a really nice place for a girls night out, or a family dinner. Wouldn't consider it a good place for date night as it is pretty loud.

Our Indy Wine group met at The Broken Barrel for drinks and conversation, and we had a blast!

The ambiance is beautiful and nice, and the bartenders are very skilled in making cocktails. The cocktail menu is very impressive, and their selection of whiskey is phenomenal. I ordered an old fashioned with bullit rye whiskey, and it was terrific. We could also order food from Wolfie's Grill, so I ordered the hot honey pepperoni pizza. It was a wonderful pizza. The highlight of our experience was hanging out on the deck watching the view of the Geist Reservoir on a beautiful day. The Broken Barrel -Geist is a wonderful lounge to have a drink and food and enjoy the scenery of the Geist Reservoir. It is the perfect hang out spot in Geist. Everyone should come check it out!

Situated inside Hotel Nickel Plate in Fishers, the restaurant was right there off the main entrance. The buffet set up was easy to understand and navigate. The food was so so good! The buffet had a variety of breakfast and lunch options as well as a build your own omelette station! The only thing I did not like as much was the chicken, it was a bit on the drier side but everything else was good. My favorite was the salmon topped with crab cakes, the bananas foster French toast, and the omelette I made. Teresa was AMAZING! Not only did she go out of her way to get us the type of coffee we wanted, she checked on us frequently and always made sure we were good! I would love to try their menu on a non-holiday set up so I will certainly be returning.

The Bloody Mary's were very good with lots of stuff to top them with. Our group were the first ones in very quiet, but by the time we left the place was packed. Our waitress was very friendly and quick. I ordered the lettuce wedge. I was surprised when it came and it was not a wedge. It was a slice. I've never had it like this before I didn't care for it because it was a lot of the center of the lettuce. Hubby got sloppy Joe sliders. He really liked them the french fries were soft in the middle and crunchy on the outside very good. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food and said they would love to come back to this location again. I did notice two poker tables there also.

Our appetizer was delicious and we had the fish and chips for our entree. The fish and chips were the best I've ever had! Our desert was a fried Mars bar. It was absolutely heavenly! The overall vibe of the place was welcoming and the service was impeccable. If you're looking for great food, service and ambiance, this is definitely a place to consider. Thank you for such an excellent dining experience!

Once you're inside, though, the vibe pulls you in. They've made the most of a small footprint with cozy, creative seating nooks that invite you to slow down. My wife is already plotting a return just to sit by the chairs near the fireplace. The menu isn't extensive, but it's thoughtfully done--just right for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. I ordered a biscuit sandwich with turkey sausage, egg, pepper jack, and hot honey (not on the menu, but just ask for the Fire and Ice biscuit). When it first came out, I had a quick "where's the rest?" moment, but it turned out to be surprisingly filling and really flavorful. I paired it with the tiramisu cappuccino and loved it--rich, smooth, and a little indulgent in the best way. Fire and Ice feels like the kind of place you're glad you discovered--perfect for studying solo, meeting someone for coffee, or escaping the rush for a bit. It's easy to drive past, but once you stop in, you'll want to come back. Save me a spot by the fireplace!

Always excited to try…read morea #NewToMe place and also one that is gluten free, as my dining companions need that for medical reasons. The inside is bright and comfortable. There are a variety of tables, also some comfy corner chairs. You order at the counter then they'll bring food to you. We all got (plain) coffee. There's a small sugar station on the end of the counter, but you have to ask for cream. I also told a staff member none of us had been there before, and asked were there coffee refills (since the rest was specialty coffee drinks) or do we pay? She said we can have one refill if we come up. My friends got gluten free egg/biscuit sandwiches. The hubs got a crepe with strawberries, bananas and more in it. I ordered the Galette Bretonne - which is described as "a savory light Buckwheat crepe with City ham, Gruyere cheese, with sunny side up egg" and also comes with a side salad. Our food came fairly quickly. The crepe was visually pretty. The biscuit sandwiches looked like they had nice fluffy biscuits (and, gluten free!) - but they were on the small side (smaller than an egg mcmuffin). My galette looked nice but not like the photo (see pics of mine & one from their web) - and the egg inside was well done, definitely not sunny side up or even medium. I don't mind harder cooked eggs, but the whole effect was very dry, so I went to the counter to ask for some syrup. The server told me that he would have to charge me for it. I said fine, yes please, because my dish is so dry it's unedible without it. So he went back in the kitchen and did bring me out a small side dish of syrup (see also pic of that, for size). I had my credit card ready, but he said "this one's on me." I thanked him and sat down to eat. ... and yes, that syrup was just the trick to make the dish delicious! So this is the thing that makes a whole experience "meh" as opposed to "really nice": Between me & my hubs, our food and plain coffees were $42. (My friends paid separately for theirs.) For that price and just counter service, if a guest asks for a small side of syrup for the food, there should not be a side charge. I think the server who gave it to me realized that (but I would have paid it anyway because the meal was just too dry without it) ... But here's the thing - there was another staff member at the counter when my server gave me that little side of syrup. She heard him say "no charge this time," and her expression absolutely changed, and she looked mad that he did not charge me, and like she was about to say something (but didn't). Guess what? I absolutely saw that. And I totally feel like she was not only mad, but also that he might get reprimanded for it. (Might I add, we were also there when it was NOT busy at all, so there was nothing about the atmosphere that was rushed or hectic - although that souldn't matter, either.) And yes, of course when I went back to the table, I relayed that story to my other 3 companions. A little (little!) customer service goes a long way. And also is easily a deciding factor of whether or not a place gets a revisit. There are so many other places to try. #ReviewsByRL

I laughed though because the bar was playing The Muppet Show on the TV. lol The dinner menu is expensive so I went for brunch. (I believe their brunch is from 10am-2pm on Saturday and Sunday.)

The bar area itself was really nice with an elegant ambiance, comfy swivel bar seats, and a more upscale vibe. I also have to mention the restroom because it was impressive. Very clean with thoughtful extras like complimentary mouthwash, tampons, and a vanity area. Small touches like that stand out to me. I ordered the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and it was delicious. I would absolutely order it again. My husband got the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and broccolini. He said the meatloaf was okay but not the best he's ever had. I tried the broccolini though and really liked it. For drinks, I had the Wildfire Smash cocktail which I thought was good and my husband had the espresso martini, and he said it was decent. We enjoyed our experience at the bar and appreciated the friendly service. I'd definitely like to come back and experience a full dinner here sometime, noting that it's probably best to have reservations.

The booths are pretty small ... kind of a tight squeeze for 4 people. We were greeted quickly.

Both my sis and I ordered a salad with chicken, pineapple, strawberry (1), and.... amazingly delicious figs ... it's my new favorite called WALTS CHAMPAGNE CHICKEN SALAD. Service was good until the refill coke was handed over the back of the booth, and never noticed that it spilled immediately. (Waiter was long gone as we cleaned up the little spills. ... oops) Prices are pricey but food is delicious. I don't go often because it's too rich for me without a special occasion. The location isn't bad; driving in from the east side it's got a weird way of entering the parking lot next to the bank. There aren't a lot of other places to eat nearby so this works for us! We will certainly be back!
