    The Hulman was excellent! Food selection is great & reasonably prices for a hotel restaurant. We went for brunch. The breakfast sandwich was hot & very tasty! The best part of our experience was our server, Sherry. Sherry attentive & friendly, making us feel at "home." She also did a great job sharing information about the other amenities of The Hulman. She asked a colleague to give us a tour of the rooftop bar space...which is AMAZING....I'm thinking about hosting my bday dinner here next year! :) Be sure to check out The Hulman. I can't wait to go back to try cocktails & dinner!

    Very nice decor and the staff was nice. We were the only ones there as the lunch rush had just finished. The food was ok, I would say not worth the price we paid for it though.

    Food was good, biggest issue was it was cold and too salty. The staff were amazing. Prices were way too high for the quality.

    They called and told us they weren’t serving dinner 5 minutes before our reservation. Totally ruined our whole dinner because it was before a concert and there was nowhere else that could fit us in. Very disappointing.

    We had a 5 PM reservation, received a call from the restaurant at 4:45 that the kitchen had an issue and we could not dine. While maybe not a fair rating it left us in a bind 15 minutes before our reservation to find a place to eat. There were two major concerts downtown that night.

    The crispy Brussels and steak frites were excellent. The Farmer's Market Bowl was just average. The mixed berry panne cotta was a good shareable dessert. Our server was distracted and that impacted the quality of our service. The menu is so limited and we knew that going in. I concede my expectations may have been way too high. We left disappointed.
    The HulmanResponded on 3 September 2024
    John, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback from your experience. The shortcomings you noted from service have been and are actively being address with the team. We are happy that you enjoyed the brussels and steak frites and have passed along all feedback to the Chef as well. We look forward to serving you again and hope to make your experience more memorable.

    We arrived shortly after opening and were the second and third patrons present. Our server was the sweetest who warmly greeted us and attended tonis during our brunch. We wanted to sir outside for the full Indianapolis experience, which we got, but the tables were not prepared for outdoor seating on a beautiful day. The food was good and the portions were generous. The prices was equally expensive as the establishment and fair considering. Good experience.
    The HulmanResponded on 3 September 2024
    Sierra, Thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback to your experience. We apologize that our outdoor seating was not adequately prepared and have addressed this with our team. We are pleased you enjoyed the food and are actively working on measures to make our menu less expensive. We look forward to serving you again soon!

    We made reservations and, at the last minute, added two more. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Some comments on the food - "This is the best hamburger I have ever eaten." and "I have never had a grilled chicken sandwich that good." We will definitely go back next time we are in Indianapolis.

    Drinks were good but limited. Appetizers were okay, Mains were bad, and gave up hope before trying Desserts.
    The HulmanResponded on 28 June 2024
    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the drinks. However, we're sorry to learn that the appetizers and mains did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is valuable, and we'll be working to improve these areas. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance to provide you with a more satisfying meal, including our desserts.
