The service was 5 stars, the steaks were excellent and the Prime Rib was the best I've had in Indy.

If you're looking for great food, awesome service and relaxing atmosphere go see Coi! at Peterson's.

Visit on 3-11-17. I had to back it down to 4 stars because my steak was way under cooked. I still ate it because I didn't want to create an issue. We started with the prime rib egg rolls and the thick cut bacon, both were awesome as usual. I always get the NY strip and this time is was way under cooked. We decided to get the au gratin potatoes and the half pound of crab legs. Although the crab legs were tasty, I'll skip them next time. We ended with the triple chocolate cake and it was awesome as always. Our tab with tax was $286 for the following: thick cut bacon, prime rib egg rolls, baby spinach salad, ribeye steak, my strip, salmon, sea scallops, triple chocolate cake, latte coffee and a regular coffee split between 4 people. This visit was from 11-12-16. This place will have to try not to be my favorite. The only issue we had was the original server that greeted us must have had too many tables because he took our drink order and never came back. Emily ended up taking over for us and she did a great job. My wife and I dined with another couple that had been here with us before. This time we went a little crazy. Started with the thick cut bacon, prime rib egg rolls and the calamari. They were all really good. I felt the egg rolls could have been a larger portion for the price. For my meal I got the boneless NY strip Oscar style and my wife and I shared the lobster Mac and cheese. It was good but not sure if have to have it every time for it's price. We finished the meal with all 4 of us sharing the triple chocolate cake. I love Peterson's and there offerings, best in town by far. read more

My husband and I were in town for my graduation from BSU. We came here on a Friday evening to celebrate. Coy was our server. He was delightful, entertaining and conversational - without any of that false joviality you sometime receive from restaurant staff. He recommended some wonderful drinks and main entrees and comped our dessert. He also went above and beyond and snagged us the last two chocolate truffles available that evening. Everything was really nice - atmosphere, greeters, food. If you dine here, make sure you ask for Coy. He's sure to make your evening memorable! read more

Can't say enough about this place! Hubby and I celebrated Valentines Day here tonight. I know, a day late but it worked for us. The food and service is always on point. We have never been disappointed here. We had the charcuterie plate for the first time tonight. Awesome! We got the small one. If u r light eaters like us, it would b perfect for 4. We took half home. For our main meal, we split a 14 oz filet mignon. Brussel sprouts and loaded twice baked potato for our sides. And we still took leftovers home with the yummy bread they give! This place never disappoints! A wonderful independent restaurant that I highly recommend! read more

A friend and I ate here the last week of my stay in Fishers, Indiana. Petersons is a high end steakhouse, please do not eat here if you are not expecting to spend at least $100 per person before the tip (which would be 20% of your total). I just want to put that warning out there because I would hate for anyone to be cough off guard if they are on a budget or have limited Per diem allowance. The atmosphere was extremely relaxing. There was a gentleman playing the piano right next to us and it was not loud or offensive. The sound level was perfect and added to the enjoyment of our meal. I ordered a top shelf margarita and My friend Melissa ordered one of their specialty martinis. Our mixed drinks were delicious with the perfect mixture of alcohol to beverage ratio. We didn't do appetizers; however, in addition to my filet, we did have mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and Brussels sprouts. The entire meal was absolutely perfect! My medium rare filet was perfectly seasoned and cooked to my temperature request. The mashed potatoes were so creamy and delicious and I can't recall ever had macaroni and cheese from a restaurant this delicious. Lastly, the brussels sprouts were perfect - they used some type of fat back bacon that just perfectly married with the brussels sprouts! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I did end up ordering cheesecake for dessert with a raspberry compost on the side - perfection! read more

This is a lovely place that feels right for a special event. Table service...cutlery...all feel excellent. Our waiter was excellent. I had only calamari but it was excellent. I tasted our friend's lobster Mac and cheese and it was fabulous...not heavy, used ditalini not macaroni. Salads were large and could be shared. Same with filet. I'd stick to appetizers and their special coffees! It is pricey but seemed appropriate! read more

This restaurant never disappoint us. Starting with the food (which is why most people choose a dining establishment in the first place), it is among the best restaurants in Indy with its primarily seafood and meat menu. Unlike many restaurants in our fine city that overdo it on the serving sizes to mask the fact that the food is simply mediocre, Peterson's offers suitable portions that leave you satisfied but not overwhelmed. Fresh ingredients, beautiful presentations, warm bread with fresh butter and walnut pesto, a great array of desserts...ahhh! What puts Peterson's above other upper-end steak and seafood establishments though is its service. Attentive, but not overbearing, servers and bus staff. An unpretentious wine steward who truly wants to help you navigate their impressive wine menu and select a wine that suits your taste and budget, without making you feel as if you're a Hoosier whose preferences in alcohol gravitate toward Coor's Light and Cuervo tequila shots. Take your pick: A relaxed, friendly atmosphere where you can feel comfortable in jeans (nice ones, please) or a suit. A romantic night with your loved one or a place to close a business deal with clients. A quiet table for two or a spot at the bar where you can enjoy an expertly made cocktail while watching a game and enjoying extraordinary food in a lively atmosphere. Pricey? For Indianapolis, it is. But worth every penny. read more

I would almost have gone 4.5, but our waiter seemed more concerned with the table next to us. Saw this on yelp, and figured, "hey, we live pretty close, let's go check this place out." I'm glad we did. This unassuming restaurant was great, and even though it's in an odd location, my wife and I are glad it is where it is. Ambience- Very classy place. It's kind of dark in the place, but it makes it seem very intimate. Certainly not a casual place, most people were pretty well dressed, and it definitely seemed like a special occasion type of place. There are two sections of tables on each side, and a bar in the middle. Service- Our server was great (when he wasn't engaging the table next to us). As I alluded to before, our server was mixing it up with a table right next to us. Evidently, it was someone's b-day, so he was making special efforts to accomodate them. I can respect that. Even still, our server was very knowledgeable of the menu, and took extra time to explain the menu, as it was our first time. They had a team approach to serving, which was nice, because we always had someone attending to our drinks, or questions. Food- we started off with an order of portabello "fries." They are what you imagined. Panko breaded portabello mushrooms served with a horse radish cream ($8). we were STARVING, and these deep fried pieces of goodness really hit the spot. Considering they were deep fried, they were pretty lite. And actually before that, they gave us some bread, with a walnut pesto sauce, and an appetizer that tasted similar to chilaquiles (just A piece) to get our taste buds going. The bread was soft, and the walnut pesto was surprisingly good. The "Chilaquile" like dish was just ok. Hey, it was free, so how could I say no? For dinner my wife got the diver scallops with risotto, and I got a 16 oz rib eye with a crab meat risotto on a portabello cap. My wife's scallops were cooked well, and had a nice light flavor, that was paired with an apple relish (it totally worked, and didn't really have an apple taste to it). The risotto had just a bit too much garlic in it, but not SO over powering. I ordered my steak medium, but it actually came out medium rare. Didn't matter, the steak was that good. I admit, my first bite didn't blow my mind, but each sequential bite did. There was a slight bit of au jus served with it, but honestly, it didn't need it. The steak was seasoned beautifully, and I enjoyed each and every bite. For dessert we got the mile high coconut German chocolate cake. The thing was MASSIVE. Clearly good enough for 6 people, my wife and I attempted to dent this cake. We did pretty well, but the cake was so dense, and so rich with chocolaty goodness, that we had to take it home. Overall- certainly not a place you would go to every day, we really enjoyed this place. Again, the service was spotty at some points, but for the most part, they were spot on. I would recommend this place for a first date, or a special occasion. Chuck Norris rating- Spinning pile driver read more

Peterson's is a very good steak house that is changing to a more customer friendly restaurant. I would like to give them another half point just for that! I took my wife out to dinner on Wednesday evening as part of the Devour Northside promotion. Although I misjudged the drive time to Fishers (rush hour traffic is not for the inexperienced!), I called to let the restaurant know we would be late. The receptionist was understanding and said they would hold our reservations. (It always pays to be considerate!) We arrived around 5:30 and found a convenient parking spot just outside the entrance in their private lot. Note: The entrance is on Hague Road north of 96th Street and getting across the southbound traffic can be challenging. Once you make it across the street, you have to drive past the first business and look for a sign that directs you back to the Peterson's lot. Once seated, it did take about 15 minutes for our waiter to show up, but after that initial wait, service improved significantly. Still, it would have been nice to have had a more prompt greeting. Ah, but the food was worth the wait! After an amuse bouche of ceviched salmon on a crisp cracker, we were brought a bread course of warm pretzel and potato breads. These came with room temperature butter and cheddar butter. I appreciate that the butter is spreadable and doesn't lay there like a lump on the bread. This was so good, we got a second round! I ordered the Miniature Maryland Lump Crab Cake with stone ground mustard, beurre blanc, red pepper coulis, and Italian parsley aioli. Excellent! It had a fresh taste and had nice bits of celery to add a crunch to the tender crab. Some spices, but nothing too strong to mask the crab flavor. My wife ordered the Maine lobster bisque which has sherry, herb infused oil, and chives. In the description, it denotes lump Maine lobster. Unfortunately, there was very little actual lobster "lumped" into the bowl. The flavor was good, but if you say there should be lumps of lobster, then you should check your dish before bringing it out. We both ordered the Grilled 6 oz hand cut midwest beef tenderloin filet with house made veal jus, roasted tomato confit. Very nicely prepared and served on a plate that didn't come with a burn warning. They let the steaks rest so that the juice doesn't rush out when you first slice into the meat (which you are asked to do at the time the steak is served to check that it is cooked properly.) One of the improvements at Peterson's is that they now include side dishes with the steak instead of gouging you for shareable a la carte servings. As a customer, I find a large white plate of steak without any garnish or sides to be rather boring and unimaginative. The Peterson plate comes with their signature mashed potatoes (creamy with bits of potato skin and just enough lumps to remind me of home made potatoes) and a side of garden fresh roasted carrots and squash medley. There is actual color on a plate and to me, that makes the whole meal look more appetizing! The veggies are sprinkled with tarragon to add an herbal taste to compliment the savory roasted flavors. Of special note, the mushrooms were buttery and really raised the whole dining level when eaten with the potatoes. The manager stopped by our table and we discussed the change. He seemed rather pleased that we noticed the difference and said it wasn't something done just for the promotional period. For dessert, my wife went with the creme brulee while I opted for the Eli's Cheesecake with blueberry compote and whipped cream. The desserts were okay, but not the spectacular culmination we hoped for on a nice evening dining out. So, if you are looking for a special night out, consider Peterson's if you don't mind the adventure getting there. Review #138 read more

Overall good selection of liquor including makers, Johnnie Walker Blue, Black and others.. The food was good, but limited as we had a select menu in our room for the event. The ceasar salad was good with just the right amount of dressing. I had a chicken something or another for my main meal and they brought out some sides to share. The mashed potatoes were very good and had good flavor. The green beans were fresh and cooked well. Service was good.. they kept our drinks filled and took good care of us overall. read more

This is the best high-end independent steakhouse/restaurant in the metro Indianapolis area. There - I said it. Because it's true. The aged steaks are USDA Prime and better than St. Elmo's USDA Choice (St. Elmo's uses Choice and not Prime?!?! Yes.). If I put Choice and Prime side by side and did a blind taste test you would be able to taste the difference. All of the other high end steakhouses in town are chains: Eddie Merlot, Ruth's Chris, Sullivan's, Morton's, Fleming's, Shula's, etc. All of them are pretty good but you know what's the difference between those in Indianapolis and those in any other city in any other state (or country)? Nothing. By design. That's why they are called "chains". The seafood and other items are thoughtfully prepared and delicious. The lobster fingers appetizer is exquisitely prepared and tasty. The decor is old school. The location is right off I-69 and very convenient. Parking is plentiful and easy. read more

This is our kind of place. By that, I mean that we dig a high end steakhouse and have been to some of the best. We hadn't quite been scratching our itch in Indy. The closest we've come to real happiness is Jeff Ruby's in Cincy or Louisville. Peterson's was really nice and our experience was pretty good. Service was a lil weird. We sat for a bit before we were acknowledged by our service team. It was fine, though, as they quickly made up for the absence and made us feel welcome. Charcuterie was so yummy, but it never comes with enough bread. Also, the bread wasn't cut through and that was just a pain in the ass. Lobster fingers are heavenly pieces of tempura lobster tail. Holy shit were they delicious. Steaks arrived and they asked us, at once, to cut through and temp them. All three of the steaks were cooked perfectly. That was a nice touch. We were able to go on with our meal. The brussels sprouts were so delicious and creamy. The Mac & Cheese was loaded with crab. The mashed potatoes were very good, but paled in comparison to the sprouts and mac & cheese. Desserts were creative in both taste and plating. As if all of that wasn't decadent enough, they bring truffles with the bill. read more

First time here and we weren't disappointed. Amazing staff and service. They were very catering to customers without being bothersome. The Prime Rib was perfect and well worth the trip. read more

I recently visited Peterson's for a business meeting -- the bar area was quiet enough for conversation, but not so quiet that we were concerned about being overheard. The ambiance is that of a classic steakhouse -- refined and luxurious, but not uncomfortably so. The waitstaff are equally professional and refined, without being stuffy. Think Mad Men in 2013. The wine list is great -- a bit pricy, but I'm not too bothered by that. I have dined previously at Peterson's for a traditional dinner and it was fantastic -- the steaks, mashed potatoes and asparagus are top notch. We did not have dinner this time, but decided to do a round of drinks and some appetizers. Our party had the quail, the meatballs, and the short rib ravioli. All of the dishes were delicious, but my favorite by far was the quail. It was served grilled with Preserved Lemon Risotto and Hunter Farms Jalepeño Honey. Wow. I can't wait to return. The chef here is equally talented with traditional dishes as he is creative with "less traditional" dishes! read more

Peterson's - A birthday dinner that turned into four courses and a cappuccino! - Steakhouses Near Me - Fishers, Indiana

Fancy? You bet. I usually save Peterson's for a special occasion - our first wedding anniversary, Mom & Dad's 40th, Valentine's Day, stuff like that. The steak is out of this world. I feel like I have to go for it every time. I've tried the charcuterie board as well. The desserts are fabulous, and I've had everything from red velvet cake in the shape of a heart to the Mexican chocolate crème brulee that I still think about to this day. I highly recommend buying a bottle of wine if you and your dinner companions are wine drinkers. It will save you money than buying by the glass. We've asked our waiter about recommendations before and have been pleasantly surprised by the great wines that they have! (It's a long list so asking may save time too!) Peterson's is actually the place where I first tried scallops a few years ago because I figured this would be the place that could get them just right. They did! So tender and wonderful. I think I actually had them along with steak which was perfect. The sides are decadent and worth sharing because they are on the large side! I can't wait for my next excuse to go back. Maybe just apps & cocktails at the bar which sounds like just my speed. The bar is beautiful too; I've had a cocktail there while waiting for our table. read more

This isn't a comment on food or service, but the new owner-instituted policy of not allowing children under the age of 18.

This place has been here for a number of years and I can't believe we just tried it. The steaks are awesome and the scallops were amazing. They have the best creamed spinach I've had. We opted for the creme brûlée for dessert. Everything was perfectly prepared and delicious. It's a pricey place but what you would expect for this caliber of restaurant. Actually, it's a little cheaper than some of the places I would compare it to. I highly recommend a visit for a date night or special occasion. read more

Went to Peterson's to take advantage of their Devour Indy menu. The best part of the meal were the cocktails me and my wife had, absolutely top notch. However the food itself was small, sorta bland, and left me hungry after a 3 course meal. For our meals my wife had the crab cake appetizer and I had the egg rolls. Talk about tiny. They truly are small bites and do nothing to kill an appetite. They tasted ok but nothing to rave about. Main course we had center cut filets. We both ordered medium. My wife's steak was cooked perfect mine was overdone. However this was immediately noticed so they took it back and brought me another one within 3 minutes that was cooked medium. For taste unfortunately it was bland. The first time in my life I actually added salt in a restaurant to the steak to try to get some flavor out of it. I also added portobello mushrooms to my steak for $9. They added a few flavorless strips of mushrooms to my steak that had a flavorless sauce on them. The mashed potatoes were great, veggies were ok but they hardly give you any. Desserts we had crème brûlée and cheesecake. Both were good. However when we left I was still noticeable hungry. Tiny portions, most of it was bland, for a whole lot of money just not worth it in my opinion. I would go back to the bar area to have a cocktail though. They truly are great! read more

Went here to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was fine. Nothing terrible, but definitely not a wow factor. Food, my husband and I shared the tempura lobster. The lobster was great but the tempura was so heavy and more like a beer batter... it didn't ruin it, but. Ya know, not wow. I did have a bit of my friend's calamari... should have done that instead. For my meal, I had the duck that was a special item. It was pretty awesome, but they put this sauce on top that was totally unnecessary. It came with some little side thing... idk what it was, but I didn't finish it. My husband got the porkchop and he said it was ok. We had 2 sides... creamed spinach and the corn and pepper risotto. Both seemed slightly above room temp. I love creamed spinach, but the flavor was very lackluster. The crunch parm or whatever comes on top was the highlight. The risotto was a joke. It was basically Spanish rice. When I think of risotto and the name of the dish, I thought it would be more like a creamed corn risotto with peppers. No. It definitely was not. This seems to be a more traditional, classier type of steakhouse, but I feel like it's ran its course and it might be time for Peterson's to update or step up their dishes. Oh! And we had the raspberry sorbet to share for dessert. I thought oh, this will be light and refreshing. Raspberry sorbet is one of my favorite things, but it was way too sweet. I didn't finish it. And everyone's dessert came with a what tasted like a raisin biscotti. Totally unnecessary. I think a piece of shortbread or nothing would have been better. The little truffles at the end were decent. So yeah. To recap. It was ok. I love supporting small businesses. I appreciate they've been established for a long time, but I think they need a little revamp. Keep the classics, but freshen them up. Or when you have something awesome like the duck, it'll speak for itself... no need to cover it up with something else. Oh. The bread was solid. That's a plus. Also forgot to mention. The service. Our waitress was nice, but definitely not impressive. Maybe I've become too spoiled or entitled from going to other fine dining places, but the dishes from our appetizers weren't picked up right away. I used my steak knife for the appetizer and it was in my bread plate (bc we didn't get appetizer plates) and I had to use it for my main dish. I know that sounds jerky of me, but that's the kind of service you typically get when you go to more of your fine dining restaurants downtown Indy and in bigger cities. Places go the extra mile for customer service and it's definitely something I notice and appreciate.... just not here. read more

I was able to get a reservation for 2 very easily for the same day on a Saturday night. The restaurant is an upscale steakhouse. I would definitely suggest not wearing jeans or anything too casual. Although I did see a few people in jeans. Khakis and a nice shirt for men and maybe a dress or business casual type outfit for women would be appropriate. The food is pretty expensive but I guess you can expect that kind of thing from a place like this. I had the seafood linguini and it was delicious. Not sure that it was worth the price tag but it was good. The lobster bisque was okay. The lobster wasn't as noticeable as it is in other lobster bisque soups I've had from other places. My husband ordered prime rib which was okay too but again not sure that it was worth the price tag. Not to mention sides are a seperate cost. I know that is becoming more common for upscale restaurants but in my opinion if you are paying $50+ for an entree you shouldn't have to pay an extra 7 or $8 for mashed potatoes. Service was good, and they give you a free dessert for your birthday or anniversary. Overall it was a nice meal. But for the cost I'd honestly prefer St. Elmos. read more

This place was pretty good. Service was good. Food was good overall but had a bad one dish. Special of the day dish was some fish dish. When we cut the fish getting ready to eat, it had a strong smell of ammonia which means fish wasn't fresh. Two persons smelled it and smelled the same ammonia. That was bit of disappointing. Waitress took back the dish and manager came out to apologize. However, manager was proud to tell us that they bring in fresh fish everyday. I think he should've smelled the fish before he came out to our table. Except for that, everything was good! read more

Had dinner there last night and the food was OK. Hostess was friendly and we got seated right away because we had a reservation. Chealsy was our server and she was attentive and friendly. We had the prime rib egg roll which were very good. My daughter and I had the special surf and turf with Béarnaise and asparagus. The plate was swimming in Béarnaise, I love bearnaise but not over the the entire dish. My husband had the lamb chop and it was ok. Son in law had ribeye and it was ok. The lobster Mac and cheese was under seasoned as was the mashed potatoes. It was our first time at Peterson's and sorry to say won't be in a hurry to go back. The price we paid for dinner for 4 with wine and drinks was what we expected but such a disappointment... read more
