    I found the best pizza in Indy. The crust is to die for. I am not sure I have had better pizza.

    We had a great time although the time was much too short. We felt rushed to order. But, I suppose that should be expected on a Valentines date.

    Service in the bar area was slow and disjointed and one of our dishes was incorrect. The server did credit that off the bill

    I really like this restaurant and go there often. It is very nice dining (I would stop short of “fine dining,” a nice but comfortable or even casual environment, servers and host staff are always wonderful, and the menu is varied enough that me and my partner, who have very different tastes, can each always find something we really enjoy. I’d say about 1/2 the entrees are consistently on the menu, the other 1/2 rotate. It is not “inexpensive,” but is very fairly priced for the food and overall experience. And if you’re ok to dine on the later side (after 8), you can almost always get a table. Again- been going there for a while and after last night’s meal (Grouper in a yellow curry sauce and a Braised Brisket) we will continue.
