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.

I brought a friend to Bluebeard and she was very impressed!…read more I got the seasonal cocktail and she got a mocktail. Both drinks were delicious and a perfect way to start the meal. We ordered the Caesar broccolini and the Burrata for our appetizers. The portions were plenty for 2 to 3 people. Both appetizers were good. We ordered the lamb Ragu and the half chicken for our meals. Neither one of us typically orders a pasta dish, but the server recommended it and it did not disappoint! The half chicken was incredible. My friend even said "this is the best chicken I've ever had in my life". I would order both of these dishes again! We were too full for dessert, but I'll be sure to leave room when I come back next time!

**Bluebeard... wtf**…read more Bluebeard has been on my Indianapolis restaurant list since I moved here from Chicago in 2021. I've found some really great restaurants here over the years, so I was especially excited to finally make it to Bluebeard. Each year during Devour, my husband and I pick a restaurant for each other as a surprise, and this year I chose Bluebeard. We had a 6:15 reservation and arrived about 10 minutes late due to traffic. I apologized, and we were promptly seated. Unfortunately, that's where the experience started to go downhill. Our server took about 15 minutes to come over, and although our appetizer arrived quickly (chips&dip), our drinks took another 15 minutes. I held off on ordering our meal because I wanted to do the Devour menu with the wine pairing. The food & drinks was a mixed bag: - Beauregard cocktail: 10/10 - Chips & avocado ranch dip: 8/10 - Crudo: 9/10 - Smoked fish dip: 4/10 - Mushroom ravioli: 8/10 - Short Rib Ragu: 3/10 - Chocolate crème brûlée: 3/10 There were definitely some great dishes, but the slow service and inconsistent food were disappointing for a restaurant with this reputation. The biggest issue came toward the end of the meal. The hostess came to our table and told us we needed to hurry because she needed the table for another reservation. **We were still waiting for dessert.** I explained that the service had been very slow and that we were waiting on our desserts. Our server apologized and said the hostess likely didn't realize what had been happening and was under stress. I completely understand that Devour can bring in more traffic than usual, but that's also something a restaurant at this level needs to be prepared to handle. We shouldn't have been made to feel rushed when the delays were not on our end. I really wanted to love Bluebeard after having it on my list for five years, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. For comparison, some of my favorite Indy restaurants for both food and service are Bocca, Union 50, Matador, Rosemary & Olive, Tinker Street, Strange Bird, Delicia, and Bodhi. Maybe we caught Bluebeard on an off night, but for me, this experience fell short.

I'm a vegetarian visiting my parents from out of state and was expecting the usual sub-par…read moreIndianapolis lunch and dinner options... but then we gave this place a try and wow!! A huge variety of vegetarian options (plus meat add ons, for the meat eaters), and everything we tried was delicious. The forbidden rice bowl was a particular favorite. Prices are reasonable too. We went back three times! I would highly recommend to any vegetarian or anyone who likes tasty veggies. Pro tip: get the chocolate chip cookie on your way out. One of the best I've ever had!

I honestly didn't know what to expect other than I knew it was healthy food options. Parking is tough. I had to park a bit away during lunch time because their little section is pretty small and it was packed, so I parked over by Whole Foods and walked over. Not a big deal just something to be aware of, and if you are lucky enough to find a spot near them, it's tight getting in and out so just a side note. Upon walking in it was a pretty long line but again it was lunch time (around noon), so no issues. You order at and then get a number and find a place to sit. They have options to sit inside and out. We decided to sit outside since it was a nice day. The food came pretty quickly which was nice since it was lunch time. I ordered a kale salad which was amazing. My lunch partner had a wrap and she said it was really good. You can tell they are using really top notch ingredients which is good. Pricing is pretty typical for these type of places.

The ambiance was really nice--more polished and plush than what I expected from a cantina, but still relaxed and welcoming. The taco menu was creative with plenty of options, and kudos to the chef because everything we tried was flavorful.

I'd definitely make a return trip next time I'm in Indianapolis.

My daughter was craving Mexican so this was the place that was within walking distance. She found…read moresomething that she liked on the menu. She had the tacos Americano she got two ground beef and one carnitas. They came with pico de gallo, romaine, sour cream, shredded cheese. She enjoyed them. Didn't I get the level of enjoyment for them, she was able to put down one ground beef and one carnita. I ate the last. Not a big soft taco fan, but interior ingredients were flavorful. I was not a fan of the salsas that I tried. They did send over chips, that were in my opinion. They were crispy. Had no flavor of either salt nor lime on them. Definitely needed salsa, but as I mentioned earlier, the salsas were not very good. Good. I had a roasted red salsa, salsa Verde, plus chili de arbol. None of them, had anything going for them. That was positive. It tasted like it was just the ingredients without seasoning. The salsa Verde tasted like just green tomatoes, and the same for the red. The spicy one, tasted like Tomatoes and spicy peppers. The menu appeared to have a nice variety of different items. I would definitely give them a second chance on something else.

The restaurant features an extensive drink menu that will suite anyone's pallet. We chose to start with the bread service which was killer especially the honey butter.

Although, I wasn't in New Orleans the spiciness took me back there. The wait staff was great. Even though we were late for the reservation we were seated promptly and had multiple people taking care of us. Spoke & Steele is a must if you are staying in the hotel but also if you want a cool vibe for drinks and great food I would stop by and take a look.

I ordered the lemon buttermilk pancakes, bacon, and a No Vacancy. My boyfriend got the chicken & waffles and a Connors Margarita. The drinks were delicious! My pancakes were HUGE but unfortunately dry from the inside out. The bacon also tasted like it had been fried in the same grease as the chicken. My boyfriend said his chicken & waffles were good. Overall, I'm glad I tried it, but it didn't give me "I'll be back" vibes. I might stop in for a drink, but since I don't really drink, probably not. My server was really nice!!

Also try the fried chicken. It's so different than any fried chicken over ever had. Not greasy at all. And it warms up well as leftovers too. The taste is sweet and juicy. My buddy had the meatloaf and it was tasty and different but paired with the mashed potatoes it was a home run!!! The only suggestion I can make is for the old fashioned drink. Used a single large ice cube next time. The loose ice cubes melted quickly watering down the drink.

The bartenders were friendly and attentive. I ordered my first cocktail and then decided to order an appetizer as I waited on my friend to join me. The bartender suggested the baked brie. Guess it was a special menu item. I love baked brie so I took him up on his suggestion. My pink cocktail was gorgeous. It came with an ice cube with the restaurants logo etched on it. I always think that is such a nice touch. The baked brie was delicious. The chef who I guess created the baked brie came out to say hi. I ending up ordering a second cocktail. It was their version of a margarita and was my favorite cocktail. It was so good. Even though we didn't have dinner, it was a great first time experience and looking forward to returning for a full dining experience.

Shockingly overpriced. $58 for sea bass…read more They charge for bread. $62 and up for a steak, and there will not be anything else on the plate. If you want a potato or creamed spinach, you have to pay extra for it. The wine was a stingy pour. The orange chocolate tart was a very low effort dessert for them. I swear I had this same rice crispy treat with chocolate frosting at Cub Scout meetings in the 1970's. Service was excellent, so three stars for that. The atmosphere was fine at first, but the noise level increased as the night wore on. Sitting outside may have been quieter. I have had much better meals for far less money. OK is not good enough to justify these prices.
