Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Broad Ripple / Meridian - Kessler

One of the best Happy Hours in town, with all day specials on Thursday. The food is fantastic, I’ve posted before their calamari is our favorite and their drink specials includes many premium cocktails and nice wine. Add to that servers who do a great job checking in frequently and you have the 5 star experience. Thanks to the entire team at Ocean Prime!! Well Done.

My wife and I with our adult son went on a Wednesday night. It was a full crowd, luckily we had a reservation. Service was excellent, food and drinks were also. It’s a bit pricey, but the food and service quality justifies the cost. We had chicken parm, flat iron steak, and a salad with grilled shrimp as well as the lettuce wrap appetizer, all great… try the old fashioned on tap… yep on tap!

Always have great food at Diavola! I ordered the burrata appetizer, and I would definitely order it again! I also ordered the Diavola pizza 💯

Shrim cocktail and calamari were outstanding. The steaks and salmon were cooked to perfection. The sides of mashed potatoes, mushrooms and green beans were plentiful and cooked perfectly too. The main course proportions were nicely sized. The cheesecake and seasonal (peppermint) creme Brule were all delicious too. Wait staff was prompt and courteous. All around, a great experience.

Party of 5, Great Meal! Had Burrata toast & meatballs as apps (work well together) and we each ordered a pizza (mine was Hammaker + jowl bacon+ red peppers) and we all loved them with most taking 1/2 home. Pro-tip, although we ate in the wine bar (21+) side. Only 3 red wines were on the menu, all being $50 plus bottles. The "family" side had much more and much cheaper wine selection. (got a great $25 bottle of Nero d'Avola on that side). I find it annoying that I had to go over to that side and then ask for bottle pricing but our server appeared at my side and was most helpful. Still, I wonder why this set up exists. We were there Saturday 11/16
