    Made it to West Fork Whiskey in Westfield for the first time. In particular, we were hanging out at the Stave Cocktail Lounge. It's an enclosed area within the building and has a more chilled vibe than the open-concept restaurant. There are some nice comfortable couches as well as bar-top seating. The cocktail menu is pretty extensive. The drinks are divided into different categories, from classics to more seasonal and eclectic choices. You can also order a whiskey flight or simply do a called drink. The bartenders will hook you up. What's interesting to me is the lounge has a somewhat different drinks menu than the restaurant. In theory you have even more choices to choose from. Coming from Metro Indy, the Westfield location feels like a far-flung area. It's kind of a destination visit but I would not hesitate to come back again. One tidbit I learned is that they are looking for tour guides for facility tours. It's like a volunteering thing but you get some perks in return I believe.

    Perfect place for a date night, casual business outing, or time with friends. 21+ bar, but the main restaurant is family-friendly. It's giving very industrial, man cave vibes. Almost like a speakeasy. The bartenders craft tasty, beautiful cocktails and they have a seasonal menu. It's great that we get to come back every few months and have something new to try.

    We opted to sit at one of the comfy, overstuffed leather couches to visit - and Molly - our bartender - was ULTRA attentive, knowledgeable, and awesome.

We said we had not, so she was great and immediately explained what they have, etc. She was incredibly thorough! She put together a couple flights for us. Two flights was plenty for 3 of us to taste what was available. Really liked the Vodka, Rum, Rhubarb and Clementine. We ordered a few cocktails and they were soooooo good! We had the Pool Noodle, Mango, Don't Pistachio in the Pool, Late Night snack, Old Fashioned and Camillas Cocktail (banana). Have to say the Doritos Infused liquor looks like its radio active (bright neon orange) and not so yummy. The drink was okay (Late Night Snack). The Pool Noodle, Don't Pistachio in the Pool, Old Fashioned and Banana ones were AWESOME. Loved our drinks and the fun service. They don't have food so you are able to Door Dash, Uber Eats or bring your own in. We did order food and ran and grabbed it.

The first time I was here was a Halloween evening. The live music was amazing. The place was packed with locals and good vibes. I've since returned for Trivia Night and brought my dog too. I keep coming back for the "Giggle Water" cocktail which features a house made rhubarb liqueur. It's SO good. They don't serve food but you can bring your own. I've seen people bring in a pizza. Occasionally they have a hot dog truck in the summertime. The bartenders are great and make killer drinks. Cheers!

The distillery created an experience that went beyond just great whiskey,it gave people a place to connect, relax, and make memories. The Stave was a cozy spot inside West Fork Whiskey to sip crafted cocktails, while the Mash House offered food that made it easy to spend an entire afternoon or evening at West Fork. Even if whiskey wasn't your drink of choice, West Fork was a welcoming destination for everyone. Whether you stopped in for dinner, drinks, a tour, or rented the event space for a special gathering, there was something for everyone. While we're saying goodbye to West Fork's Westfield location, thankfully this isn't the end of West Fork Whiskey. You can still enjoy their cocktails at West Fork Social House in Fountain Square. West Fork Social House serves coffee during the day and whiskey-forward cocktails at night, carrying on the welcoming community atmosphere.

    Oh my goodness, we absolutely love Nylas. This has become our go to special date night spot when we…read moredon't want to head downtown but still want something that feels elevated and special. The service is always impeccable and the atmosphere is so cozy and inviting. It just feels like a place you can settle into and actually enjoy your night together without any rush. The food is truly out of this world. I hate mushrooms with a passion, but their mushroom bisque is probably one of the best soups I have ever had. I never thought I would say that about anything with mushrooms in it. The steak served on the hot plate is also such a great touch and makes the whole experience feel even more special. And the not so famous yet chocolate cake absolutely should be, because it is divine. We always leave happy and already talking about when we can come back. We also love the Italian house they own right next door, which is another great option when we are in the mood for something different. If you are looking for a perfect date night spot that feels cozy, thoughtful, and consistently delicious, Nylas is it. We never regret going.

    I do not give out five stars lightly, and if I could I would add a sixth star to this review…read more Our dinner group met up at Nylas on a very rainy Tuesday for the early bird dinner ( yes even cool kids do it) , large group of eight. Our table was ready and the Manger himself took us to our seats. This adorable three story red barn was dripping in charm and homey vibes. We sat on the second floor, we didn't know it had stairs or we would have asked for a first floor , a few of the group are not great on stairs, but as a team we made it work. Plus note is that there is a bathroom on the second floor. Speaking of the bathroom it did feel very much like a airplane bathroom, a litte Claustrophobic. The early bird dinner is the way to go, three course for a great price. We started by getting the deviled eggs and the mushroom soup. Both were amazing, the soup was so creamy and the eggs had just the right amount of firmness. I had fried chicken which was the best I have had in the Indy area. My husband had stroganoff and he felt like it was made by someone's granny. I also tasted the pork belly, and it was out of this work good. Desert was simple individual cheesecake with sauce, nice small size. We will be back and will try the rest of the menu.

It was insanely busy at the restaurant, but we were able to get seats at the bar top - which I think made our experience even better.

I love when it's obvious the fish and chips and was super pleased with the dish. It comes with fries and a small side of slaw. I'm not a big fan of coleslaw, so next time I'll probably try to substitute it for something else if possible. 21+ inside and family friendly outside!

Pretty casual and it's nice to find a space that gives coastal vibes all around. I would love to return to try their full menu and some other cocktails!

St Elmo's costs this but it is downtown, oh well No handicap facilities. Difficult for friend to get into business. Handrail limited, steps and very busy porch I have an allergy to soy. My friends loved this restaurant and I was hopeful they used olive oil. Oh no, soy oil. Pasta is soaked in it for storage. The only thing I could order for my meal was a plain salad and vegetable soup. Served cold but was quickly reheated. The manager and staff were very accommodating and understanding. We ordered prosecco drinks with added liquor. It was so strong that we asked for more prosecco and they graciously accommodated us My husband had salad, calamari and pasta. He said it was all good Our friends had pasta dishes and salad and they were pleased The house inside is beautiful. Hardwood floors stained glass windows, all original. WilI I go back, no. Even with me eating soup our check was about $100.00. The staff is well trained and helpful. Just seems a shame an Italian restaurant does not use olive oil. With the valet parking and lack of handicap assistance, I will be looking for a more suitable restaurant
