    I was staying here for work and needed to grab some breakfast before heading out for the day. I am a simple breakfast kind of guy. With this being in the hotel, I figured I'd give it a shot. I opted for the sausage, egg, and cheese on a croissant. It came with a small side salad too which was a nice touch. I also had a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice and some water. The food was great! The sandwich was delicious. I would have liked the egg to be a little more fried but the sunny side up was good too, just a little messier. The orange juice was very good and definitely helped start my day off right. The salad was great too as a nice way to finish it all together. Next time I am in the area, I will stay at Ironworks and eat here. The vibes, food, and area are all immaculate.

    Dog-friendly patio

    This is a very nice breakfast/brunch restaurant in the Ironworks building. The reason I came here was because. They were offering a Devour Indy special and their patio is dog-friendly. My pup was treated like a queen by the staff. And my eggs benedict and mimosa were top notch.

    We really enjoyed the breakfast at Rize during our recent stay at Iron Works. Love that it's accessible from right inside the hotel. The inside gets really packed during the morning so we ended up having to do outdoor seating. Some of the stand out items include the breakfast croissant sandwich, the potato egg tart, and the cinnamon roll with the orange glaze. Flavored mimosas were solid as well. Definitely worth checking out.

    Food was ok. Much better than the nearby yolk but far from what I would consider an epic breakfast. Make reservations as it appears to be a popular place. Salad & the English muffins were the highlights of the meal kind of expensive for what it is imho. You'd think that patrons of the hotel would get dibs at tables but it's not the case. A tad pretentious

    Breakfast sandwich and potatoes.
    Amanda L.

    We were in town for a concert and stayed with a friend who lives in Indy. She recommended Rize and made a reservation for 9:45 on a Sunday morning. We were greeted and seated when we arrived. The decor was cute and the space had a great vibe. Our server was friendly and willing to accommodate my "complicated order" that I deemed, build your own adventure. I ordered an English Muffin with a banana and peanut butter. My friends ordered the breakfast sandwich and potatoes and the chia seed pudding bowl. We all tried one another's dishes, and everything was great! We can't wait to go back next time we're in town.

    Food: Amazing/light/filling Service: Nice and Attentive Ambiance: Well mapped out with comfy seating. Overall experience I would recommend. It is perfect for family, friends, couples, or individual setting is well mapped. Comfortable seating and the food hit. My partner and I were able to substitute some things for example on the traditional Benny typically comes with Canadian bacon and I was able to do chicken sausage. And kind service.

    Super greens smoothie (delish)
    Liddia S.

    Super cute, affordable and delicious. There is plenty of parking and the business is within a strip of other businesses, including a hotel. Our server Ray was very friendly and attentive. To enter the restaurant, you go in through the hotel and it's immediately on the right. There is a bartop with 4-6 seats and two long tables along two separate big windows that overlook the parking lot. Only tables in the restaurant but it feels cozy. Our server greeted us with water and we ordered smoothies and salads. The super greens smoothie was super delicious. Not sweet which i like and costs approx. $8. I ordered the chopped chicken salad and it was soo delicious. The dressing was great and everything tasted fresh. They may need to sell the dressing by the bottle. Our food came out within 5-7 minutes and everything was great. It was a bit chilly in the restaurant because the windows are so big, we were pretty close to them and the restaurant is fairly small but has approx. 12 tables of 4-6 seats available. No booths would be my only drawback. I will definitely be eating here again.

    RIZE is always a safe brunch spot! I tried the breakfast sandwich and swapped the biscuit for a croissant. It was delicious. Service was quick and easy for a Saturday morning. The ironworks location is always a bit overcrowded in terms of seating arrangements, but it was a great experience nevertheless.

    Veggie Power Bowl with Sausage
    Michelle W.

    Friendly staff & healthy food options I visited RIZE for the first time for Sunday Brunch. This location was packed - luckily I had a reservation! Very cute atmosphere, but it is very loud. I got the Veggie Power Bowl (added sausage) and a hot Chai Latte. The bowl was yummy but I did think had a little too much hummus. Large portion. Chai came out fast, but I like a strong flavored chai so this one was a little too tame for me. Overall would come back and try another dish!

    Egg Tart
    Jessica B.

    My server recommended the egg tart and I'm so glad she did! It was so light and fluffy and the seasonal veggies were so good! I also ordered a hazelnut latte that was really good as well. Solid breakfast place inside the Ironworks hotel. Staff was so friendly and gave lots of good recommendations to everyone at my table.

    Cinnamon Roll
    Erin D.

    RIZE has such a happy and comfortable atmosphere. It's a great place to go to celebrate in a casual way. The menu is especially helpful for non-drinkers because they have several fun drinks that are non-alcoholic. Clear labeling of other dietary restrictions (Gluten free) makes it easy to order. The food is delicious and I love the range of options for brunch. The chopped chicken salad is hearty, tasty, and healthy. During my last visit I also had a house made Citrus and Lavender Fizz that was delicious and well balanced. I don't like my drinks too sweet, but I enjoy fun flavors. It was perfect and I would order again!

    Breakfast sandwich, Rize salad, and side of fruit and bacon
    Torri B.

    First off, brunch is always a good idea. This brunch spot is located with the Ironworks district. Very accessible to the Ironworks Hotel that is within the same building. The wait was not long at all. I would say about 5 minutes and we got our table. The service was quick and our server was very attentive to are needs and requests. I ordered the breakfast sandwich, which is an overhard egg, with cheese and bacon on a fluffy delicious biscuit I got the guyere cheese on the side. It came with a salad and I opted for an additional side of fruit. My brunch mate got Biscuits and Gravy with a side of bacon. Everything was good. I was full and satisfied. There is outdoor and indoor seating available. Also I was impressed with the local support of this restaurant. Give them a go for brunch.

    Checked Rize out for breakfast after staying at the Ironworks hotel. It was pretty packed and lively for 9:30 AM. We sat at the breakfast counter and was greeted by our wonderful server (I think her name is Marissa) she made wonderful recommendations and checked on us often. I ordered the lavender and lemon mimosa and had the build your own omelette with fresh fruit. The omelette was a great size but it lacked bacon, I had to open the omelette to make sure they actually added it in there...it was chopped bacon and not a good serving of it. I also had peppers, onions, and mushrooms in my omelette. I loveeeeee mushrooms, but I'm not a fan of trumpet mushrooms and had I known that's what they had I would've got another topping. The service was so I'd come back and try something else.

Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years.

I will cut some slack on the service, however - I arrives after what seems to have been a very atypical rush of Journey fans who inundated the place before heading to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The staff seemed a bit rundown and slap happy - not really attentive to the bar where I sat. I waited a bit long before I was greeted with a menu, waited awhile with an empty glass, waited with my food pushed away before it was cleared. No one asked if everything was okay even though most of my food was untouched. The food... my salad (house greens) was a great little salad! I say this despite finding a hair on the plate when I was about 2/3 through. My mussels and fries were not great. The fries were mid - they tasted kind of overdone or as if the oil were old. The mussels were actively bad. The portion (an app) was pretty small. There was hardly any broth/wine and they weren't piping hot. Also, they were actually not tasty and the texture was rubbery. They remained in front of me, uncleared, even after I closed my tab. They did not smell good. I don't anticipate being sick but I do anticipate being hungry.

I liked the complimentary coffee bar while waiting for a table. Since I came with a couple of friends and didn't have reservations, we ended up waiting somewhere between 30 minutes to an hour before being seated. One of the biggest drawbacks was the restroom situation. There are only two gender neutral restrooms, and the wait was incredibly long. I waited close to 30 minutes just to use the restroom. It seemed like only one restroom may have been operational because I only noticed people coming out of one. For a business this large and as busy as it gets, I don't feel that's enough restroom accommodation. The first available table was outside, so we decided to take it. Unfortunately, it wasn't the best experience. There was nearby construction, making it very loud and difficult to carry on conversations amongst our table. It was also a windy and chilly day, and I definitely underestimated the weather. I should have brought a coat! We weren't in the sun so it was too chilly. The strong wind constantly blew napkins and other items around the table, which became frustrating. During cooler days, outdoor heaters would make the patio much more comfortable. Even though I was uncomfortable, our server was friendly and attentive to us. I ordered the Morning Edition breakfast, and it was excellent. I liked the variety of items included, everything tasted good, and the portion size was just right for me. I finished every bite and left satisfied. I really enjoyed the potatoes and cinnamon toast. I enjoyed my food and service was good, but if you're planning to visit on a Saturday morning, I would strongly recommend making reservations if possible. It could save you a long wait and potentially get you a better seating option.

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. All of the apps look d amazing but went for the dry rub duck wings with home made ranch. My only critic was I wish there were more than 3. Finished off with the shrimp and grits. 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.

    There's brunch... and then there's Spoke & Steele brunch!!!…read moreFrom the moment you walk in, the vibe is giving cozy, elevated, and just the right amount of "I deserve to be here." The seating? Intimate. The lighting? Soft. The whole space feels like a quiet luxury moment tucked right into the city. Now let's talk about what REALLY matters, the food. The shrimp & grits??? Listen... this wasn't just a dish, this was an EXPERIENCE. The grits were creamy, smooth, and perfectly rich, but that sauce layered on top?? Whew. Flavor on flavor on flavor. You've got that deep, savory, slightly smoky profile with juicy shrimp, sausage, and those pickled onions cutting through everything with the perfect tang. Every bite felt intentional. Like somebody knew what they were doing in that kitchen. And can we talk about how beautiful it was plated?? Because yes, I absolutely appreciated the aesthetics before I even picked up my fork. Paired it with a simple coffee moment, sitting by the window, and honestly... it felt like a reset. Not rushed, not loud, just good food, good atmosphere, and a chance to actually enjoy it. If you're looking for a brunch spot that feels a little more elevated, a little more intentional, and delivers on both flavor and experience. This is it. 10/10. I'll absolutely be back!!!

    Bluebeard was my pick for my birthday dinner and for good reason. The restaurant has a laid back…read moreand quirky vibe and is literary themed. Themed around Indy native Kurt Vonnegut, you'll see old typewriters, books, and names of menu items paying tribute to the famous author. The menu feels high class but the atmosphere and wait staff are friendly and welcoming. You could dress up for a special occasion or come in casual every day wear and either fit in just fine. Their ever changing menu featuring local produce and meats is always unique, inventive, and most importantly, delicious. Their cocktail list is one of the best and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had an extensive mocktail list as well. Their sodas and syrups are all house-made which means every drink is full of fresh flavors. I had a lemon pasta dish an my husband ordered the hanger steak. Both were cooked perfectly and composed of flavors and textures that complimented each other perfectly. There's nothing that wouldn't be good on their menu because you can tell the chefs are exceptional as well as the ingredients they choose. I really can't say enough good things about this place, it remains one of my favorite places to enjoy a meal and no matter what I choose, I'm never disappointed.

Reviewed the menu seemed to be eclectic enough, off we go. The place had a decent size outdoor dinning area. Few of the tables were occupied. Table for one...indoor, outdoor was the question? Indoor. Although the weather was beautiful, indoors was my choice. Al fresco dining is not my first choice. I don't like to do battle over my meal with insects and other wild life. I deducted 1 star for red wine served at room temperature. How is it that, red wines are chilled (55F) on the west coast but served at 'room temperature' (72F, 82F...) on the east coast. Had two dishes, they were OK, service was ok Would I go back? Yes, if the red wine was chilled.

    Met up with two friends for brunch at Love Handle and it absolutely delivered. Great location at…read morethe end of Mass Ave near Bottleworks--and pro tip: parking directly in front on the same side of the street is free. The space is big and fun, with a large dining room, an old-school video arcade game, interesting art, and a big screen playing movies, which adds to the laid-back, quirky vibe. It's counter service with clear menu boards on the wall, making ordering easy. I had the cheesy jalapeño grits with bacon and an egg and... my goodness. So incredibly delicious. One friend ordered the same grits but swapped in fried catfish instead of bacon--also a fantastic choice. Our third went with a classic plate with eggs and bacon, and let me tell you, the bacon is thick and plentiful. We ordered a side of fries for the table and there were more than enough to share. Self-serve coffee with all the fixings is a nice touch, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Fun atmosphere, great food, solid portions--definitely will be back.

    Stopped in here for brunch this past Sunday with my husband because we had been wanting to try it…read moreout for a while and had mixed feelings. We were greeted right away and looked over the menu a bit before ordering. My husband ordered the country breakfast with chicken (definitely the way to go) and I ordered the cheesy jalapeño grits with bacon. We each got a cup for water and I ordered a coffee, excited because I saw ahead of going that it was self-serve (like at Cafe Patachou where I can get as many coffees as I like without having to wait for our server to come check on us first). However, the self serve coffee excitement was short-lived after seeing that they only offered half and half as creamer (I'm lactose intolerant) and the two coffee carafes were not labeled for what was inside (decaf? medium roast? you'll never know!) and then one was completely empty and never refilled during our visit. The water station also was not ever refilled during our visit, so we were not able to get refills after filling up our cups the first time. It took a couple of tries to find a table we could sit at because you seat yourself, but several had not been cleaned after other guests left and had food and drinks spilled on them. There were definitely enough staff members there to be able to clean them in between customers, so we weren't sure why they were left that way. We ended up sitting in the middle of the room towards the front, across from the clown art wall, which made for interesting conversation as we looked through everything. When the food came out I was impressed with the portions, but I had no flavor whatsoever to my cheesy jalepeno grits. The egg and bacon were good, but not enough to make it a good dish and I would not order it again. And I love savory breakfast and grits in general, so it was a real bummer. My husband's dish was worth the visit though. It was a huge portion size and we honestly would just split it if we came back and ordered it. It was so savory, seasoned perfectly, and juicy. One of the best breakfast dishes I have tried recently! I really debated between 3-4 stars for this, but my dish was a flop, the lack of cleanliness for the seating area, the lackluster self-serve coffee station, and not refilling the beverages ultimately scored a 3 star review for me. I would come back and try something else though, or split the country chicken breakfast because it was really good. Hopefully next time the beverages won't be empty!
