HC Tavern stays one of my go-to spots, especially when I want something really good without going far from home. They have both my favorite drink -- the Liquid Love Affair (a must-try if you're a vodka drinker) -- and hands down the best soup you'll ever taste: the corn bisque. It's absolutely delicious and has the cutest presentation every single time. I stopped in Saturday and it was busy, but Caitlin still provided excellent service -- attentive, friendly, and everything flowed smoothly. It was also a great spot to catch the Elite 8 games, which made the whole experience even better. I ordered the crab cakes and fries -- cooked really well and perfect with their remoulade. Now I'm just waiting for the weather to warm up because the ambiance is even better when the balcony is open. read more

Stopped by for dinner with a group of friends. Appeared to be a classy upscale place. The service was professional but did take a while due to how busy the restaurant was. I loved the unique appetizers. The waygu corn dogs were delicious and piping hot when they came out. I decided to go with the special of the day which was a lobster grilled cheese and tomato soup. It sounded something I could not get anywhere and went with it. Delicious but definitely a comfort/hearty meal. I would come back here to try something else. read more

Came here on a random Saturday night at 6:15 PM with no reservation and we were very lucky to get a table. As the entire evening there were groups of people waiting to be seated however I'm not sure if they had reservations. Our server, Callista was absolutely fantastic super patient and friendly. Well, we did not order much and split everything because we just weren't that hungry but definitely needed something to eat. This was a great first time visit. As you can imagine from all the other reviews, the ambience fantastic. This is part of the same hospitality, family group that owns Saint Elmo's. If I were more hungry, I definitely would've ordered more food. However, the first six pages of the menu are all alcoholic drinks and beverages, which is quite interesting. This part of the menu outnumbers the rest of the food pages. I would definitely come back here again and try more of the food however I'm giving them a solid for because the ambience the service and the food quality and timing were fantastic. The only problem with this place is that it is located in the popular nickel plate district, which is covered in saturated with restaurants and shops. And not enough parking options. read more

Had Sunday lunch. Any food I've had here has been delicious. We started with the shrimp appetizer, st Elmo shrimp appetizer. I love the cocktail sauce. I also ordered the corn bisque, it's sooooo good. I don't think you're supposed to lick the bowl, but if it was acceptable, this is worth it. For my meal, I ordered the fish tacos with the street corn as the side. Some places, the street corn isn't very good, but here, they cut the corn off and with the seasonings, they bake it with serrano peppers. It gives it a unique flavor and some heat. I ate all the corn before I touched a taco!!! I was beginning to get full, so I ate one fish tacos(it's fried cod) with sliced avacado, aioli sauce and pico. It's also very good!!! The service was amazing the entire time we were there. It wasn't overly noisy, though it was full of diners. read more

Was in the area to attend a concert at the Fishers Event Center, and had a recommendation to try The HC Tavern & Kitchen. They were quite busy, but even with no reservation we still were seated fairly quickly. My dining partner wanted the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer given the restaurant's connection to St Elmo's. It came with 4 shrimp and the St Elmo's famous horseradish cocktail sauce. The shrimp could have been a bit bigger, or came with more but the sauce did not disappoint. I decided to treat myself and have the filet, which came with horseradish seasoned mashed potatoes. I opted for sautéed mushrooms as a steak topper. Meat was cooked perfectly and was absolutely amazing. Mashed potatoes were good. My dining partner opted for the salmon and likewise said it was prepared exactly as it should be and was very flaky and tasty. This dish also came with the mashed potatoes. We also opted for a shareable side of the street corn, which was creamy and very tasty. Finally we shared a piece of cheesecake which my dining partner said was some of the best she has had. Service was excellent. Parking was easy given the location and just steps away from the door. Atmosphere was nice and not too loud for a good conversation. read more

I dined in for dinner and mainly ate appetizers and had wine. Great ambiance, not too loud, present server, and REALLY GOOD appetizers. The sauce for the calamari? So good. The dumplings and the sauce? SOOO good. The lobster cargot?! Such a creative dish and really delicious. I ended up taking the short rib dinner home to share with my 4 year old and it was really good. Maybe just a bit overdone on the outside but still good and tender on the inside. And I took the shrimp dish to my mother and was able to swap out the pasta for one that was more like a spaghetti. She liked it! I didn't get to try it. I'll definitely be back! Especially for the appetizers. read more

Mom & I come here every Xmas. I love the food and drinks here, plus it is pretty close to our house. The only downside is sometimes it is hard to find parking here, but on this night we found a spot with ease. This restaurant is a part of the Huse Culinary family of brands which includes: St. Elmo Steak House 1933 Lounge by St. Elmo Harry & Izzy's If there's one thing you HAVE to do is order the $14 Wagyu Corn Dogs. This app is literally my favorite app to eat at any restaurant anywhere. Nothing says Indiana like some seriously delicious corn dogs. On this night, I also tried a $16 espresso martini. It was spot on. Highly recommend one from here. It has to be up there on the Indy drink scene. For an entre I had the $19 tavern club and $4 street corn. I think they shrunk the size of the tavern club since last year, but it was still good. The street corn is another show stopper. I love great corn. You can only get corn like this in Indiana. The restaurant is beautiful and decorated for Xmas. I always come here when I'm home in Indy over the holidays! read more

I met a couple of friends here a few nights ago for dinner and drinks and had a really fun time. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. All of the staff who served us during our time there were courteous and accommodating. The bathrooms were sparkling clean. The food and drinks were delicious. All around a great girls night out! We started off with cocktails to sip on and catch up. I got the Bermuda Triangle (their version of a paper plane) and it was very yummy. My friends each got the St. Elmo's cola with a Diet Coke and enjoyed those as well and said they are verrry strong. All of us got a classic Caesar salad. I chose to add salmon and so did one friend. Our other friend is a vegetarian, so she got a side of fries to pair with her salad. I also ordered the shrimp cocktail because I love pain and hadn't had one in quite some time. Just as spicy as I remembered it to be and I cried the whole time I ate it, but they were happy tears from the spice of the horseradish. We had specifically chosen HC Tavern + Kitchen to meet at because they offered an espresso martini flight for their devour menu and we knew we'd love it. It did not disappoint! They had a "classic" with vodka, a bourbon, and a tequila espresso martini and all of them were super tasty, but surprisingly the tequila was my favorite of the 3 (bow tie martini with orange peel). We thought about going somewhere else for a night cap to end the evening, but it was so cold out and nearby businesses all had similar hours anyway, so we decided to stay put and each had a couple more cocktails. I ordered Mai Tais so I could reminisce on my time in Barbados this time last year. My friends ordered lemon drops and French 75s. All were very tasty and lasted through close while we caught up since we'd last seen each other a few weeks prior. The only downsides were that I felt like the food was priced too high for what we got ($14 for that Caesar salad was ridiculous and then it was an additional $14 for the salmon) and parking is a nightmare for that entire shopping/dining area. If you are lucky enough to quickly find parking, then everything is pretty walkable and there are lots of other businesses nearby to visit and make it a fun evening out. read more

Over the last couple of months I have visited HC Tavern a couple different times for brunch and everything was delicious! My most recent visit was over the weekend for their Rhythm & Brunch event. While I had a great time, I do wish the music was a bit louder. We were seated upstairs, but I felt that the music was very quiet. Either way, the food was incredible. I've had the cinnamon roll bites, chicken minis, and croque monsieur. I will definitely be returning for more special event brunches. While the meal, with drinks included, was on the higher end of brunch, it was delicious and worth it. read more

I went in for cocktails a few days ago with my boyfriend. It was very busy but we found a spot at the bar. I was seated next to a woman who had been cut off by management and was being very belligerent toward the bartender. It was a bit uncomfortable because she was swearing and being a bit hostile. However, the bartender (Johnathan, I think) was doing his best to keep her calm. Despite a full bar and multiple drink orders, he greeted us promptly and got us menus. We ordered our drinks and he gave us the first round on the house due to having to wait a bit. We had only planned to get a single drink lol but we obviously ordered another round after that. He was very professional and friendly and gave stellar service. I had the Liquid Love Affair which is one of my faves from there - anything with passion fruit is a go-to for me. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the Madteani and may even prefer it. It was light and refreshing and I loved the cardamom. Absolutely delicious! My boyfriend ordered a Manhattan and a Rhinegeist beer both of which he really liked. I tried the Rhinegeist, too, and though I don't love beer, thought it was mild and easy to drink. read more

In town for the first time--looking for a place to eat with a late kitchen (open until 11!) Staff were very friendly and menu had good variety-we just needed light fare, so unfortunately didn't have dishes they raved about. We enjoyed a smalldinner, and had great drinks. Ambience was dark; it appeared would be a good place for adults to meet or groups of people or even a quiet date. Children were present, but more up-scale than child-friendly. A bit on the pricey side, but able to find a meal that satisfied all. read more

I placed a to-go order this past Friday, and I was thoroughly underwhelmed. A better word might be disappointed. Knowing that this restaurant is part of the Huse Culinary Group lead me to feel confident in my choice. I picked them over Cava and wound up regretting it. I ordered the crab cake slider (8/10) and it was pretty good. I wished that it had more remoulade and that the crab cake was just slightly thicker/more substantial. I also ordered the house salad with fried chicken added. They neglected to provide me with any salad dressing, and because this was my lunch and I was returning to the office, I was unable to eat the salad until I got home. By then, the croutons were soggy, and the entire experience really just frustrated me. I also ordered the Blueberry Lemon Cobbler. It was oddly presented. Rather than putting it in a cup similar to the one that the ice cream was served in, it was smeared along the bottom of a regular to-go container with chunks of the topping somewhat strewn about. I'm sure that someone on their team could think of a better way to present this for a to-go order. It was not at all appetizing. I know that to-go orders can be hit or miss, but not giving me dressing for my salad, the main portion of my meal, was a major miss. I will try them again in a dine-in setting, but my expectations have been greatly decreased. read more

I was a little apprehensive because I've heard that the food at HC is 'just okay' however sometimes food isn't the only deciding factor for a dining experience (crazy IK). Not only was the food good and the drinks strong, but our server, AMBER, was the star of the show! She was so fun, attentive, and personable. You could really tell she enjoys herself and her hustle. Our appetizers were all so fun and different and something about that Barkeep vodka is just different LOL the burger was more than enough for one and we were celebrating a friends bday and could not have had more fun!! read more

Not that happy hours are new to me but the happy hour at HC is new to me! Located in the Yard at Fishers this swanky spot is owned by Huse Culinary. Meaning it's the same owners as 1933 Lounge and St. Elmo's, so they have the same drinks. Back to happy hour. Sunday through Thursday from 4-6 you get 5 dollars off their house vodka, gin, and whiskey drinks and a few discounted bar food items. Some beers are also on special but I don't drink beer so I didn't pay attention to those prices. Candied bacon for 11$ and flatbreads for 10$. There was so much bacon for the price and the flatbreads were huge. Great deals in my opinion and to get an espresso martini of the Huse brand quality for 5$ off is awesome. I've taken friends twice after I discovered the deal and will continue to go back. read more

When our family's Thanksgiving schedule shifted unexpectedly this year, we faced a common dilemma: how do you create a meaningful holiday gathering on short notice without the stress of home preparation? We needed a place that could deliver both exceptional food and the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes family time special. That's when we turned to HC Tavern for our Saturday-before-Thanksgiving lunch. From the moment we walked through the door, we knew we'd made the right choice. Hostesses Mallory and Ramzi greeted us warmly despite the busy lunch rush, seamlessly managing our reservation and seating us by the fireplace. It was the perfect spot on a chilly fall afternoon. Our server, Mark Wessel, quickly became our ally in crafting the ideal meal. When my wife explained her celiac disease and need for gluten-free options, Mark responded with patience and genuine care. He didn't just recite menu facts; he sought out answers to every question, ensuring she could dine safely and confidently. When I requested a menu modification on an item that typically doesn't allow substitutions, Mark didn't simply say no. Instead, he advocated for us, demonstrating that HC Tavern values guest satisfaction above rigid rules. As Manager Aaron Hutchison helped serve our food, I noticed my special request had been accommodated. When I asked what changed, his response captured everything special about HC Tavern: "We are not in the business of telling our guests no." The meal exceeded our expectations. Every dish was expertly prepared and absolutely delicious. My sister-in-law summed it up perfectly, commenting on how fortunate we were to have such an amazing restaurant nearby. As Mark handled our bill and to-go boxes with the same attentive care he'd shown throughout the meal, and as Mallory, Ramzi, and the entire HC team bid us warm farewells, we realized something important: we hadn't just found a convenient solution to our scheduling problem--we'd created a new family tradition. We're already planning our next visit to HC Tavern, and we'd encourage anyone looking for more than just a meal to experience the difference for themselves. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply want to enjoy exceptional food with outstanding service, HC Tavern delivers on every level. It's my hope that you will read this review, and decide to visit HC Tavern and discover what happens when a restaurant truly puts guests first. read more

We enjoyed a delightful and festive Christmas Eve dinner at HC Tavern & Kitchen. It was our first visit there, although we have been to the nearby sister restaurant 1933 Lounge several times. (The HCTK vibe is different from 1933: 1933 is dark wood and old school charm; HC is modern elegance with a chill feel.) Of course, the food was amazing! At our table of seven we had filets, sliders, a burger, and a special-of-the-day rubbed rib eye - each meal was deemed scrumptious by that diner. The cocktails were spot on, and we also enjoyed a brilliant Tempranillo from the extensive wine list. We simply loved this spot, and plan to return the next time we return to the area! read more

Booked this reso after having a relaxing morning at The Aroma Room (check them out). I had built up an appetite. My first time for brunch and my friends first time ever at the restaurant. We were sat in the bar area in a nice cozy booth which was great and our server Kendra was pleasant, prompt and had good energy. I ordered the crab cake Benedict that I had been eying for some time and the hash browns with a French 75 (my FAV!) My friend ordered the shrimp tortellacci. He really enjoyed his dish and appreciated more bite sized shrimp opposed to larger and having to cut them. It was buttery and fresh. I unfortunately cut into my Benedict and had a hard boiled egg. Instantly felt sadness not seeing the yolk ooze out. Thankfully, I shared the news and within 10-15 minutes I had another and got the satisfaction from seeing the ooze. I enjoyed the Cajun hollandaise. I would have appreciated the crab cake a little more had it been seared a little longer. Great flavor overall! I wouldn't mind returning. read more

From other revJews, looked forward to this. On a Monday evening, wedding anniversary. Reservations at 6, seated at 6. Server came, talked, left without asking for any order. 10 min later, came back. Shrimp cocktails were 3 medium shrimp covering 1 small shrimp in a stainless steel cup. No ice, no arrangement, just thrown into a cup. 10. min to get shrimp, not dropped off server. 15 min later, server shows up, talks says I give you time to decide, left quickly. 10 min later, returned took order. 20 min later, order arrived. Chicken was OK. I got the spinalis steak. Worst steak I ever have had. Whatever " sauce " they drowned it in killed any taste. Also, when order was brought, was told the beer I ordered, they were out of. 20 min to get check. 1.5 hours for a simple dinner. Should have went to Texas Roadhouse. Better food and service. read more

For the price, I had higher expectations. I ordered the Tavern Club. It was cut into two very small triangle sections that were hard to pick up and eat. The bread was paper thin as if they pressed the pieces of bread. There was no substance to it. And the fries weren't warm and were almost soggy. Like if you'd microwave them. Forget ordering mango tea it was terrible. My husband had the Steak Burger and he did enjoy that. read more

3 stars. Come for the bacon, bread, & butter! Trust me. Buy the bacon Service is hit or miss. Tonight was a total miss. And if you have a party of 8 or more, they add 20% gratuity that isn't removable when you pay via the QR code. My server was super sweet, but overwhelmed. In the weeds!! She forgot my drink so I sat with my colleagues with nothing for over 30 mins. Then, another server boxed my leftovers and never returned! I had to ASK them what happened to my leftovers. Bring my bacon back! Pretty irritating and unsettling. Where was my food all that time? Did anyone touch it? I usually prefer they box it table side, but there just wasn't any space. The place was packed! Oh, and they don't serve hot cocoa! Boooo! The nutcracker suite is cute. Nothing to write home about but definitely a good meeting spot for holiday drinks. read more
