Absolutely amazing!…read more I ordered the garlic cheesy bread, honestly the best I've ever had. I would eat 20 slices if possible. I can specifically for the chicken parmigiana, which had a great review here, and it did not disappoint. The crust was crispy all over and the sauce was so good. 10/10, will make an effort to come back! Our server was very attentive and met all expectations. The restaurant itself wasn't very big but the tables and lighting were nice. There is also a bar. The only negative is the bathroom.

The chicken Parmesan is God-tier! You won't be disappointed with any dish here!…read more Also, the GM, Jordan, creates such an inviting atmosphere! My friend is vegan and Jordan spent a solid 5 minutes explaining every vegan food item for my friend in-depth on a Saturday during peak busy hours. She is so knowledgeable of the menu and is amazing at making each patron feel seen and welcomed. This is the best Italian restaurant in Indy!

Wow. I am super impressed and satisfied. I ordered the garden Benedict with tomato and a vanilla…read morematcha latte. Within 8-10 mins I was served. Quick! Considering this seems to be a popular spot. The toast it was served on was an herby and grainy and perfectly cut. I was surprised it wasn't an English muffin! The knife is served with was perfect for cutting into the toast and very beautifully plated! The plate was balanced with some lemony notes, creamy hollandaise, runny yolk, and avocado! Super fresh ingredients, and delicious! Ingredients seem to be picked thoughtfully, even pastries look to be sourced from bakeries in the area. They also offer gluten free and vegan options (and swaps!) The staff is friendly and welcoming ‍. The restaurant is well kept, clean, and inviting. I'd recommend this to anyone visiting Indianapolis!

Listen... The Garden Table didn't come to play!!!! it came to set the brunch standard…read more -- We started with coffee and I'm still thinking about it. The espresso shots were rich and smooth, and those mini espresso martini shots? Just perfection without being overpowering. -- Then the juice flight hit the table and I already knew we were in for something special. Bright, colorful, and actually fresh. Each one tasted like it was made with intention, not just for looks. -- And can we talk about the vibe for a second? Warm wood tables, clean aesthetic, and a menu that makes you want to try everything. It's giving "casual brunch" but elevated in the best way. -- And the menu? Thoughtfully curated with options that feel both elevated and comforting. It's the kind of place where brunch turns into a whole vibe. You're not just eating, you're lingering. -- This is the kind of place where you lose track of time (especially with friends), laugh a little louder, and order "just one more thing." -- If you're on Mass Ave and skip this spot... I have questions but overall 10/10 experience!!! Will be coming back!!!

The food is really good with some pretty unique ingredients and flavors. I thoroughly enjoyed the…read moreVeggie Breakfast Burrito with what seemed like a homemade, spicy red salsa as well as broccoli, feta, red bell peppers and crispy home fries (inside the burrito). The Fried Egg sandwich comes with pickled onions, crunchy sunflower seeds, avocado and a great value for a hearty meal in the heart of downtown adjacent to the BottleWorks District. The decor is adorable! There is also a casual, cute bar and great drink selections! Self service approach (after you order, they drop the food off at your table but they have water, utensils & napkins available for you--Kind of like Flower Child in Nora). Definitely hipster vibes. Plenty of open spaces to fill across from Center Point Brewing. LOTs of construction going on in the surrounding building at the up and coming Factory Arts District. Didn't seem to stop people from working there remotely though. It was nice to go on a Monday afternoon while there was plenty of parking in the lot although there is street parking nearby as well.

You walk up to the counter to order and will be given a number to set at your table while you wait for them to prepare your order. I ordered the chopped cheese and it was absolutely amazing. I will be thinking about these flavors for a while. The fries were equally as delicious!! They have a lot of fun options for coffees and cocktails. I tried one of the cocktails that was on special for the weekend. We will definitely be back!!

I also got the filet mignon slider which was amazing too. I got medium rare and it was cooked to perfection. The servers were phenomenal and the overall place is very classy and elegant but friendly.

The rest is…read morevery conveniently located, and we were able to easily walk to the restaurant from the convention center. We had a larger group and were able to book a reservation in advance. We were seated in a private room for our meal, which was perfect with a big group. The staff was very friendly and helpful, making sure that everybody had any questions answered. I appreciate that we were given to wait staff for our group size which made things move very fast and efficiently. They have some great lunch offerings and deals to get the most out of the menu. I really liked the lunch combo with the shrimp cocktail, their homemade sauce really packs a punch! We also had a special birthday and they were able to bring out a dessert for our birthday girl, and that was a great part of the experience as well.

In town on family business, for a couple of days, I was looking for someplace interesting for…read moredinner on a Wednesday evening. It had been before the pandemic since my last time in Indianapolis and much has changed on the city's dining and drinking landscape. Following a recommendation from a bartender at Sundry & Vice, I made my way to BODHI. I didn't have reservations, which I'd strongly recommend, since the place was packed on Wednesday night before 6PM. Fortunately, I was able to snag a seat at the bar, which was ideal since I was dining solo. Upon scanning the hip, high-energy, yet petite dining room, I had a sense of deja vu about it before realizing that I had been in this space before back when it was Black Market. I started off with a cocktail from Bodhi's intriguing and expansive drink list, a 7 Realms of Happiness, made with Old Hamer Bourbon, Faccia Brutto Centerbe, Cappelletti amaro, saffron honey, and lemon. My thought was that it's their twist on a classic Whiskey Smash. It was bittersweet, yet balanced, and simply a delight. As for the food, BODHI's menu is concise hitting the most of the Thai food usual suspects. I had the Papaya Salad and the Shrimp Green Curry. The papaya salad came out first. I was pleasantly surprised by its plating, looking much more like an elaborate entree with its cashews, watermelon radish, and chicharrones than the humble side salad atop a leaf of lettuce or cabbage that I've usually received at virtually every Thai restaurant I've ever been. It was just a pretty plate as it tasted even better than it looked. It was fresh and flavorful as those flavors popped from the perfect balance of salty, sweet, sour, spicy, and funky. It was the best rendition of a papaya salad that I've tasted. My bowl of curry was no less successful in balancing those diverse Thai flavor profiles. Unlike some/many other curries I've had where it seems like a bowl full of sauce with bits and pieces of protein or vegetables, Bodhi's rendition achieved the perfect "solids to sauce" ratio. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and the curry itself was bold and bright on my tongue. It was a delicious spoonful. I loved it! For "dessert", I had a second cocktail, the Garnet, a booze-forward whisky drink made with Mars Iwai Tradition, Pinhook Rye, Akashi Ume Plum whisky, Veda Mushroom Liqueur, Balsamic Vermouth, celery & orange bitters, and topped with a Moon Smoke Bubble. It was very unique, tasty and satisfying, if not a bit difficult to describe. I would maybe compare it to an Asian-influenced Vieux Carre and I thought it was excellent. Service from Carli, the bartender, was stellar throughout my night as she was friendly, helpful and exceedingly outstanding in making my drinks. A definite rock star! BODHI was outstanding. I'm not sure how to best describe the place. Was it as an amazing Thai restaurant that also does incredible cocktails or an amazing cocktail bar that also does killer Thai food? Regardless, I could not have enjoyed my experience more. If/when I'm back in Indy, BODHI is at the top of my list for a visit!
