This review encompasses two visits within a recent enough period to each other for ease of writing as well as comprehensiveness. Our first visit was to see Kevin Farley's comedy standup show. Apparently it was their first in a long time that they had done comedy shows at The Prewitt and I hope they bring them back for good! Both Kevin and the opener Chris (local to Indy) were pretty funny and made sure to not get too crass. At some point before the show, we were greeted by the manager of The Prewitt so it's nice to have that kind of hospitality! We sat pretty close to the front in some very cozy armchairs and got some appetizers to munch on while we waited. I got a Mac and cheese, my partner got some fries, and we shared the ribeye egg rolls. All the food was delicious, and the egg rolls are just unmatched and I have yet to find something like it elsewhere. I got the tropical style mocktail this visit, and then a cup of mint tea for the end of the evening. Our server (Megan?) was very nice and pretty attentive. Our other visit was for our late Valentine's Day. We also got the ribeye egg rolls to start. I got the Sweet One and my partner got the Sour One (both mocktails). I remember both being good, but I liked my Sweet One more! For dinner I got a penne pasta with chicken Alfredo. That was really really good and made for nice leftovers. For dessert, we got this kind of peanut butter and chocolate pudding type dessert. I forgot the name already, don't come for meeee. Overall, The Prewitt has a really cozy yet elevated atmosphere, having a rooftop dining option, a tucked-away little bar, and a variety of seating options between dining tables and lounging tables with armchairs. The Prewitt was built inside an old movie theater so they keep some of those charms like the glittering front marquee and the movie screen, where they still have movie nights and other stuff going on. Dress code wise, this feels like a place where you fit whether you're dressed up or down for the evening. This is definitely a spot for an elevated date night on the Westside of the city!

We dined at The Prewitt for the first time and, unfortunately, the experience fell short. I arrived a bit early for our reservation and asked about the restrooms. The hostess noticed a line for the downstairs restrooms and directed me upstairs instead. The upstairs area had a nice vibe, and the igloos were still set up outside, which was a pleasant touch. However, the upstairs restroom was not acceptable, there was visible urine on and around the toilet seat, as well as in the toilet itself. I went back downstairs to inform the hostess. While waiting for one of the three downstairs restrooms, I learned that two were locked and the remaining one was experiencing issues. Although the issues were eventually resolved, the line continued to grow. To make matters worse, customers were repeatedly trying to open the door without knocking. Ultimately, the restroom situation put such a damper on my initial impression that I ended up walking across the street to use the coffee shop's restroom. For one of the only upscale restaurants in Plainfield, restroom cleanliness and accessibility should be a priority. After a short wait, we were seated. Our waitress, Emily, was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the menu and helpful with recommendations. We ordered the chicken alfredo & the short rib bolognese. Both dishes were served at room temperature, and we also both agreed the flavors were lacking. Overall, the experience didn't quite live up to expectations, and I'm in no rush to return.

Food and Drink: Tried the Prewitt for the first time! The Short Rib Bolognese had great flavor, but I wish it had more sauce and was spicier. With the noodles, I was expecting more a "thai flair" but I would get it again. The chicken alfredo lacked flavor in my opinion. I've personally had better italian street food with noodles and alfredo. LOVED "the sour one" mocktail. Customer Service: Emily did an awesome job with recommendations and being attentive to the table. Very outgoing and hospitable, despite it being near closing hour. Ambiance: I loved the vibe of a "brick movie theater". There was a huge movie screen with tv playing and the whole restaurant could enjoy. I think in the future, I would rather come on a big movie night, and settle with enjoying some apps and drinks. I would recommend giving this place a chance, and sharing your thoughts!

The Prewitt is a bit of a drive, but it's definitely worth the trip. While I didn't eat here myself, every dish that came out of the kitchen looked and smelled amazing. In fact, if I glanced away for just a moment, my neighbor's plate would be empty when I looked back. Clearly, the food is a hit! After a stressful workday, I stopped in for happy hour before running a few errands. What I expected to be a quick 45-minute visit turned into a few hours of great company. The entire bar staff, Kayleigh, Savannah, and Emily, were fantastic, answering questions and keeping the atmosphere friendly and upbeat. I tried the s'mores old-fashioned, and it did not disappoint. As a party of one, I'm ready to become a regular! Definitely check them out!

Charlie Chaplin on the big screen, in a liminal, vintage theatre setting. Great service, delicious food and thoughtful staff are merely bonuses.

Pleasantly surprised! I would certainly go back and would love to see the different parts of the restaurants.

You had me at Wagyu Corn Dogs, Prewitt! These were fantastic. I wasn't sure what it expect (how could I know). It's a wagyu sausage wrapped in corn batter and fried. Amazing enough, but that house made ketchup and pickled mustard seed really made these sing! The Fried Brussels were very good. I was hoping for something sweeter (like the Brussels Sprouts with Bacon Jam back home at The FourNine). Those are more of an appetizer though. These were a solid side. And then the Truffle Mash! Get out of here! That was fantastic! The food was great but the service was even better. Patrick was extremely personable and made solid suggestions. We had a great chat about some of our favorite restaurants. I hope I get to come back on my next trip through. There's still plenty to explore on the menu!

First time visiting, comedy night, Seats are not comfortable unless you're having dinner only. We originally got sat in comfy chairs in the front but then got moved to eat glad we did because we left early. The brisket nachos were delicious but needed jalapeño and smaller onion pieces and more toppings. The coppa cobano flatbread had a big piece of mozzarella in the middle, wasn't needed and should not be cut and put on top of each other as the slices get mushy, but it was good. Skip the cheese. The royale with cheese added egg was yummy too. The one twenty one old fashion was different definitely taste the root beer but probably would not get again. The beers are a great price . Over all skip the comedy and go for the amazing food and service.

Gosh. Where to start? The Prewitt is just amazing. I've been once before, but both times I've been, the food, bevs, and ambiance has just been stellar. Whether you're going for a date or for girls night out, you cannot go wrong with The Prewitt. One evening, they had a jazz duo on stage, the other, playing movies. And then there's the food. I opted to split the meat and cheese board, and for dinner, the Coppa Cabana flatbread, featuring Smoking Goose meats. I had soooo much left over and cannot wait to dig in again, but if you're looking for a decently priced great meal out, The Prewitt is it. So good.

We've visited twice now in the last 4 months, both on special occasions which were both mentioned when making the reservations. The first time, the occasion was acknowledged, the 2nd time it was not. Our first visit was amazing, the staff was attentive and even invited us to stay after our meal to enjoy the film they were showing that night (which they usually charge for). It's possible that the service was a bit more lackluster on our second visit due to it being during Devour week and much busier. (For the record we did not order off the Devour menu and ran up quite the tab.) The food is always great, I'll give them that. However there were some low points. We ordered the charcuterie and the menu does not specify what meats are included, only that they are Smoking Goose which is perfectly fine. I assumed that this was because it rotates and changes often so it wouldn't be printed on the menu and we would be told what the meats were that night when the charcuterie came to the table but it was delivered and arrived with zero comment. Mystery meat! Yay. Beer was served without a glass (or even the offer of one), and they've changed the parfait desserts to much smaller ones with a slightly unpleasant meringue layer and a "crust" layer that only succeeds in getting crumbs all over the table and everything on it. This might sound very negative but really, I'm just being nitpicky. The venue is beautiful and as I said the food is always great. Whoever they have in the kitchen knows how to cook a piece of meat to perfect temp, and the cocktails are lovely. I'm not even a fan of old fashioneds but the 121 (smoked) is fantastic. There's a reason we go out of our way to leave Indy proper with it's fair share of wonderful restaurants to come here.

Very unique place. It's in an old theater. The food was very delicious and the service was prompt and very good. We very much so enjoyed our time there.

We were literally the only ones there on my Husband's bday. I rented an Igloo and order Nachos and the Corn dogs as starters. I had the Royale Burger and my husband had the Mushroom fettuccine? With chicken. And the bread pudding and house made ice cream. It was all wonderful and the service was amazing too. We will be back The Igloo on the roof was amazing. Warm and fun, we listened to our music and enjoyed the atmosphere.

Really great food in a beautiful old theater Love the fact they didn't try and fancy the decor up Authentic patina everywhere The swordfish was cooked perfectly but the highlight of the meal was the bread pudding dessert
