The chicken was cooked very well, the eggs were yummy, and the gravy was good too. The flavors/ spices were really unique, which made this place even better. Combining above average food with unique flavors was super fun. I really liked the actual restaurant as well. It felt very industrial and nice. The interior was a bit smaller than I expected, but it made the place feel intimate. I went for lunch - I bet open kitchen's vibe is even better for dinner. Overall I'd go back here. Great experience.

The combination of emerald green, gold accents, and classic black-and-white details created a sophisticated atmosphere that felt both glamorous and timeless. The food was exceptional. The Brie Brûlée was one of my favorite dishes I've ever had. The sea bass was equally impressive, cooked beautifully and packed with flavor. I also loved the thoughtful nod to the building's history. The Old Fashioned made with Coca-Cola syrup was a unique touch that paid tribute to the Bottleworks area. Between the gorgeous setting, outstanding food, and creative cocktails, The Fountain Room delivered on every level. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Indianapolis!

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 got my order to go but the gentleman who took my order was kind enough to offer me a cup for some water. The spot was happening. Music, good vibes, the decor was fun. I couldn't decide which meal I was trying so I'm definitely going to make another trip sometime soon. I got the tenders with mac but added a side of greens. Boy oh boy the greens were the star and wow my tastebuds were incredibly satisfied. I've had greens but these were like some ultimate flavors and holy greens i definitely could just order some of these every now and again by themselves. Mac was great. Definitely complimented the greens. The tenders though omg. The flavor was insane. I gotta try them with the waffles next time for sure. Overall the wait wasn't long and my food was still hot. I ended up sharing with my son and he was even raving about it. Great service, fun and lit atmosphere, last but not least food was fire. Side note: people complain about price but I'll be honest, when the food is good and staff are amazing, the price to me doesn't matter. You get what you pay for and let's be real, this isn't chic fil a, this is hot boys and the chicken is definitely that.

It honestly hurt to see all that chicken go directly into the garbage, but they claim it was inedible. Since it's not a saucy type of flavoring, but a dry rub, they said that the heat was painful, and not flavorful. Back to the sandwich I enjoyed... I felt that there was a sweetness to the flavor that I liked, which I could see not everyone enjoying. There is also a hot dusting over the french fries which exacerbates any discomfort people are having from the heat. There really wasn't anything to cool it down. The macaroni and cheese was piping hot, although not spicy.

EDIT: The organization I deceptively mentioned at the beginning of my review has rightfully asked…read moreme to clarify that I am not a member, voting or otherwise, past or present, of CCL, nor have I pursued membership or been interested in doing so. I've helped a little bit with a few of their events, but I'm just some concerned queer who got livid when he heard about this, and I thought that implying I'm with a group would make my words carry more weight. Stupid, and I make exactly one apology: for lying about my affiliation, I'm sorry. The organization has also asked me not to abut Shelby Street Tavern's reply to my review on Google, and I have grudgingly agreed. However, the post stays. I will notate my deception, and will also remove the needlessly rude section at the end, but the rest stands. ORIGINAL POST, EDITED AS EXPLAINED ABOVE: This is honestly a great bar, mostly, hence the 5-stars for Food, Service, and Atmosphere. I was initially glad my organization [NOTE: THIS IS A LIE, SEE ABOVE] chose to patronize this place. But that appreciation ended last night when bar management decided that keeping things quiet was more important than dealing with an assault and battery that happened at the bar. If the genders and races in the situation had been reversed, my friend would still be in jail right now, while the harasser in this situation got to finish out their night feeling good about getting away with what they've done. Someone reserving your bar for an event does not magically get the right to assault and batter someone. Never mind that the person doing the A&B has a history of harassing the person they chased out of the bar... [NOTE: FINAL PARAGRAPH REMOVED FOR BEING UNNECESSARILY RUDE]
