Buffalos Have Wings?!?!?!

Posted Tuesday, March 3, 2009 by Jason Gergely

This week for the Marketing Team at Compendium's Friday lunch, we decided to keep it simple and check out the new location of Buffalo Wild Wings (it was my choice).

This new location just recently opened up and we were all having a craving for some hot wings.

When we got there, we were immediately seated and asked for drinks. Mikey and I both opted for the water because we both are trying to stop drinking pop (or soda, or "coke", or whatever you call it). Meghan and Chandra ordered their diet cokes (they serve Coke Products) and we put in our orders.

Meghan ordered 6 boneless wings with the "Asian Zing" sauce along with some onion rings. She said her food was delicious and the onion rings were perfectly cooked. The only thing she had against the place was the service

was a little slow for the lunchtime hour (which all of us thought was a bit odd).

Mikey ordered the Big Jack Daddy burger. It was a massive burger with BBQ, onion rings, and pulled pork on top of a burger. He mentioned today "I wish I got wings becuase it is a wing place, but next time... I'lll get wings"

I orderd the Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich. It was a large chicken breast with a piece of swiss cheese, ranch dressing and the Medium sauce that you can get on wings. I was really excited to eat when i ordered it. It did meet almost every expectation that was causing my mouth to water. However, I do wish that their was more of the Medium sauce smothering the chicken breast. MMMMMM... so Good!

Chandra ordered the Ultimate Nachos, (which is supposed to be an appetizer. However, it came out it seemed like an entire meal! It was huge!
She had to share some of it with the rest of us.

As for the atmosphere, it was a sport bar type place, with TV's all over the place showing different sports channels so you won't miss an instant of any game if you go there. Also, if you aren't so much of a sports fanatic, you can play trivia games on some of the TV's! So if you are in town, the new location is almost on the corner of Pennsylvania and Washington street downtown Indianapolis. So go check it out!

Oodles of Noodles!

Posted Tuesday, February 17, 2009 by Jason Gergely

There is this place in Broad Ripple that my friends and I go pretty frequently. Especially when we don't want to cook dinner. It is called Noodles & Company and is located across the stree from Union Jacks and next to La Jolla.

It is one of those places that everyone can find something great to eat. If you like spicy, they have spicy. If you like mild, they have mild. If you like Mac and Cheese... it's phenomenal!

They have three different menus with different types of cuisines... American, Mediterranean, and Asian. All are delicious and like I said before.. they have something there for everyone.

When I go, I usually order the Chicken Pad Thai treo with a ceasar salad. The "treo" is the size of meal, which means you get a pasta, a meat, and a choice of salad or soup. They also have other smaller sizes for the days that you

want to eat light.

So the next time you are cruising through Broad Ripple (or any of their other locations) and you feel your stomach start to grumble... go ahead and check out Noodles and Company, located at 927 Broad Ripple Avenue. They also have one located on IUPUI's campus. So you can check that one out too.

Straight up Mexican

Posted Thursday, February 5, 2009 by Jason Gergely

So today I was talking to Mikey again today about restaurants (funny, I didn't realize Mikey is a restaurant connoisseur). He mentioned a place that we all went a few months ago for our Marketing team celebration for meeting our goal the month, Adobo (but I missed it because of finals week.. ugh).

Anyway... So I went around to everyone else that went to get their take on this place because I have never been.

Meghan thought that the food was delicious and the had the best margaritas ever. It was a cool atmopsphere and the food was made right in front of you (kinda like a hibachi).
Megan said her marg was not too sweet and was a good mixture of booze and mixer. It was a "good place to go for after work drinks and snack." When I asked her about it, she also said that you couldn't go without getting the Guacamole and if you don't like margaritas, you need to try at least one.
Mikey, the all knowing of local restaurants, said that the food was fresh. He had a cumcumber shot chaser that was made right there by the "awesome bartender" from Guadalajara who taught Mikey about the good places to visit in Mexico.

So if you are looking for a place for drinks after work, I might meet you there sometime. Adobo is located at 110 E. Washington Street across the street from Fogo De Chao. Also, if you are concerned about whether you can use cash or stop by the ATM.... don't worry about it.. they accept both.

Deano's Wine Bar & Restaurant - Indianapolis Restaurant Review

Posted Saturday, November 22, 2008 by Chris Baggott

Deano's Wine Bar&Restaurant
1112 Shelby St
Indianapolis, IN 46203

(317) 423-3154‎

Indianapolis Nightlife, Wine, fine dining?   OMG thank you for Deano's Wine Bar & Restaurant!

Located just off Fountain Square this is sincerely one of the best restaurants in Indianapolis.   Just about a mile from downtown, owners Dean Wilson and Jody Bryant have created something that is truly unique.   With a motto of "Good food, good wine and good friends" these guys have really come through in creating a great Indianapolis date restaurant.

Oh...did I mention they have music on weekends? How's that for those of you looking for some Indianapolis Nightlife that's for adults?

The dinner menu has lots of seafood like a smoked salmon platter appetizer or a "more crab than cake" Crab Cake. What Indianapolis fine dining restaurant review would be complete without a shrimp cocktail? (Shrimp Cocktail is to Indianapolis Restaurants like wings are in Buffalo...available everywhere)

The appetizer menu even includes an Italian restaurant touch with four different Pizza's and a portabella & pistachio salad.    Entrees cover seafood to chicken to beef. As an Atkins eater who is trying to eat more locally produced food, I was thrilled to see Indiana Bison Steaks on the menu...pared with a suggested Petite Sirah......perfect.

Writing this Indiana Dining Guide is makeing me hungry...

Bosphorus Istanbul Cafe - Not a Greek Restaruant

Posted Saturday, November 22, 2008 by Chris Baggott

Bosphorus Istanbul Cafe

935 S East St
Indianapolis, IN 46225
(317) 974-1770‎
bosphoruscafe.com

If you are looking for great Hummus or an awesome Falafel, look no further than Bosphorus Istanbul Cafe for what I think is Indianapolis only Turkish restaurant.

If you are looking for great Indianapolis fine dining is a funky purple house near Fletcher Place (just outside downtown Indianapolis) this might just be your restaurant. Named for a 20 mile long strait that joins the Sea of Marmara with the Black Sea, the real Bosphorus separates Europe from Asia....ok enough about the geography of the near east...let's talk about the food!

No Indianapolis menu guide would be complete without including the Hummus and Feta Chees Plate appetizers. Better yet, start your party with the Appetizer combo that also includes stuffed grape leaves, tabouli, babaganush, borek and and eggplant salsa.

As an Indianapolis Date Restaruant why not impress him (or her) with you vast cusine knowlage by ordering the Iskender or Ispankli Tavuk? This is a great local Indianapolis Restaurant. It's not quite an Asian Restaruant and is kind of like an Indianapolis Greek Restaurant but ...different. I'm really happy to add Bosphorus to my Indianapolis Dining Guide.

Indy Ethnicity at Thai Cafe

Posted Thursday, November 13, 2008 by Ellie Cummins

Thai Cafe In Broadripple!

Looking for a great Indianapolis Asian restaurant? I highly suggest Thai Cafe! Located in Broad Ripple at 1041 Broad Ripple Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46220 . It is well known among Thai lovers and whether you are looking for authentic Thai dishes or a bit of comfort food in the form of yummy Pad Thai noodles, you will love this place! The Vegetarian spring rolls also are high on my list.

Its A 10!
Concerned about the spicy factor that some Asian and particularly Thai food

can have? Thai cafe has a great system of "rating" your spiciness 1 to 10, 10 being the hottest. You can easily customize how hot and spicy you want your dish. They are fast and friendly whether you are dining in or enjoying takeout. Whether you are just looking for great Indianapolis ethnic food, a unique Indy date restaurant, or wanting to expand your Indianapolis Asian dining experience from more than sushi and Chinese takeout, I'm sure you'll love Thai cafe!

Open Tuesday through Saturday, 11:30AM - 9:30PM.

China King? China Bling!

Posted Monday, November 10, 2008 by Jason Gergely

This week, the Marketing Team here at Compendium Blogware, along with our newest member Chantelle decided to go to China King just right around the corner from our office. If you want to read up on Compendium Blogware, you can Click Here to check it out!

We first weren’t sure where we wanted to go, but when the idea of Chinese came up we decided that is where we were going to get our usual Friday lunch. Mikey ordered General Tso’s Chicken and said, “The General was commanding my taste buds.” So I would have to guess that he enjoyed it, along with his fried rice. He ordered some dumplings, but didn’t end up eating too many because he was filled up by “The General”. Chantelle ordered an array of foods. She had Crab Rangoon, Hot and Sour Soup, along with a side of Steamed White Rice. When she got her food, I noticed that her rice came in a huge container and she ordered a “small” side of rice. Meghan ordered the Sesame Chicken with Fried Rice lunch special. The other Megan ordered the Veggie Lo Mein and only had one complaint. She had wished that the veggies in the food were a little larger. As for me, I ordered one of my default dishes when ordering Chinese… Beef with Broccoli along with fried rice. I thought the food was delicious and probably better tasting than any small Chinese food place. Also, make sure that you realize that if you go in a group and you eat in… they will bring all your food out at the same time. BE CAREFUL when you first start eating it. The food is VERY hot. I made the mistake of jumping right into it and burnt my tongue… OUCH! So open it up and let it cool for a few before you dive into your Chinese chow. We all agreed that the portions that they serve are much bigger than you might expect and the price is very reasonable for the amount of food that you

get.

As for other things that might be of interest to you, Chantelle mentioned that the place would be great for winter time because you can call in and get carry out, and they even deliver. Meghan said that if you are going to China King expecting a Chinese Food chain experience, you had better think twice. It is different than a typical chain. The food is very authentic and so is the atmosphere of the restaurant. Also, the rush comes in about Noon, so if you don’t want to wait in line you should either have it delivered or go before or after the rush at Noon. I would imagine the rush dies down about 1:30 or 2 o’clock. Another point of note, they take both cash AND credit card… so you don’t have to rush to the ATM before you get there. So if you are looking for a Chinese place to eat here downtown that won’t require you sitting there for two hours… Check out China King, located at 148 N. Delaware St in downtown Indianapolis.

Italian Restaurant Indianapolis...(actually Carmel) Macaroni Grill?

Posted Tuesday, November 4, 2008 by Chris Baggott

Romano's Macaroni Grill
Carmel Indiana
2375 116th East
Carmel, IN 46032
317-582-1637

Today I had a great lunch up in Carmel Indiana with Patty Bender of Compendium Blogware client Sheetz Century 21.

I've never been to a Macaroni Grill before and usually try and avoid the big box eateries on Indy's north side. If I'm looking for the best Italian food in Indianapolis, I'm not sure this would be my first choice.

Until now that is.   Every time I have this experience, I have to just say: "Chris Baggott: Get over yourself"   Romano's Macaroni Grill is awesome. I can't say for dinner, but for a lunch restaurant it was fantastic. The environment is high end Italian cusine. I love an Italian Restaurant that has bread and olive oil on the table....just sets the quality meter up right from the start.

I had the Grilled Halibut Seasoned halibut topped with a tomato basil relish and served with pesto Parmesan risotto for $16.99. Clever marketers that they are, each item on the menu was accompanied by the Chef's Recommended Wine. In this case a Chardonnay by Mezzacorona (Italy).

I'm guessing that this place packs them in at night, but the bar is huge and looks like a lot of fun.   Patty and I kept it to business and didn't indulge in any wine or cocktails, but for a lunch meeting is was one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in Indianapolis.

One last great thing about Romano’s Macaroni Grill is their Curbside to Go program. Call or order Indianapolis Best Italian food online and pick it up at the curb.   They have great to-go family style food too!

oh..and they teach you Italian in the bathroom and on the site:

Impress Mom and Pop with anniversary wishes spoken in Italian. Or learn how to celebrate the evening - Italian style.

Sample:

English

- "Happy Anniversary!"

Italian

- "Felice anniversario!

Listen to It in Italian here....

Usual Suspects Bar & Restaurant

Posted Monday, November 3, 2008 by Ellie Cummins

Usual Suspects, located above well known basement bar in Broad Ripple, The Casba, is an upscale, yet casual Indianapolis restaurant/bar featuring great food and drinks. Enjoy a great dinner in a quiet atmosphere in the evening and then hang around as things get a bit louder into the night as this place is a favorite of the "late 20's and up" crowd in the neighborhood.

As a former ethnic Indianapolis restaurant, Greek to be exact, the menu featur

es great hummus and pita appetizers and Gyro entrees. Stuffed quesadillas, unique salads, mini burgers, and traditional entrees round out the menu. I reccomend the shrimp or caprese quesadilla and the hummus and pita appetizer.

Usual Suspects also features a great bar. Fresh sqeezed juice cocktails are a house specialty, the martini list has all the traditional faves, and the bartenders are always ready to make a good drink suggestion. Although not a true sports bar, the are several flat screen tv's around and it is a good place to watch a game if you're not in the mood for the traditional sports bar Indianapolis atmosphere.

Usual Suspects is located at

6319 Guilford Ave., Indianapolis, IN, 46220

(317) 251-3138

Open: 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday, 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday, closed Monday. Bar open late.

Seafood for lunch? Downtown Indianapolis Lunch Restaurant

Posted Monday, October 20, 2008 by Chris Baggott

McCormick&Schmick's Seafood Restaurant at the Corner of Illinois&Market Streets at the base of the Downtown Hilton
(317) 631-9500

As an interested party to this Indianapolis Dining Guide, I'm always on the lookout for something different. Typically during the day downtown I eat lunch as someplace fast. The other day however, I found myself wanting to go someplace nice with my partner Ali and our big time Lawyer (patent work). McCormick & Schmick's was perfect. The place has just the right mix of being busy with downtown workers (all wearing ties) yet still easy enough to get in and out of. We took a booth in the bar which is really nice looking with big booths and a great wooden bar. They have two TV's up high and turned down low on ESPN so you could catch some highlights out of the corner of your eye...but not be intruded on.

Indianapolis menu guide: they update the menu twice a day so you always know whats fresh & available.

Although McCormick & Schmick's is a great lunch spot, it's has really good seafood, terrific for dates, but perhaps most popular among the crowd here at Compendium Blogware it's the best happy hour downtown. I wouldn't call it a place for Indianapolis nightlife, but what is so appealing is the great bar and the terrific drinks. Happy hour is fun and crowded partly because of the great menu. Everything from fish tacos (for the mexican food lover) to one of the best Hamburgers in Indianapolis all for like....$1.95 each. Great prices for great food. All in all, a place I would highly recommend. See the Video for a sense of the Lunchtime ambiance...

My Favorite Pizza for Lunch in Indianapolis

Posted Friday, October 17, 2008 by Chris Baggott

Actually, Giorgio's is not only the best pizza in Indianapolis for lunch, it's also the perfect Pizza for meetings and in office events. If I were writing and Indianapolis dining guide, this would be at the top of my list as among the best fast food Indianapolis.

Located just off the circle on East Market street, what you will love about Giorgio's (other than Giorgio himself who always makes you feel special) is the urban feel...unusual for and Indianapolis Restaurant. I've tried to capture the essence in the video here, but there is a great process for ordering with all the pizza, pastas, salads&sandwiches on display. The place is always full but never so crowded that you want to turn away. Even if you see a line out the door, it moves fast. Inside there is plenty of seating and a really nice din that you won't feel at any of the other Indianapolis Lunch Restaurants I frequent. I wouldn't call this a date restaurant and not a dinner type Italian Restaurant but of restaurant's I review in Indianapolis, this is one of my favorites.

Indy's Best Old Italian Restaurant

Posted Monday, October 13, 2008 by Krystal Featherston

This past weekend, I had the privilege of dining at one of my favorite Italian restaurants, Mama Carollas Old Italian Restaurant. I’ve lived in Broad Ripple for over a year, but never taken the time to eat there. After eating there once … I won’t over look it again – that’s for sure!

I was promptly seated upon arrive in a nice, quiet area. Our waiter – Kevin was delightful!! He was very funny and he made our dining experience that much better.
I ordered a glass of Melot which went perfect with the atmosphere. After drinks were served, we received the bread and dipping sauce. The bread was fresh and hot, and it appeared that it was never ending – we always had a fresh basket.
We started with the bruschetta appetizer which was a nice starter - fresh tomatoes and smoky cheese gave it good flavor. For dinner, I decided on the pasta primavera. It had some good fresh veggies and a garlic oil dressing. Unfortunately, I was not able to try any of the dessert because my meal was so filling (I usually don’t make it to dessert thought).
Mama Carollas Old Italian Restaurant definitely gives a whole different take on Italian food. I was great food and it was reasonability priced.

What more could I ask for ….

Hungry for some Authentic Italian?

Posted Friday, September 26, 2008 by Jason Gergely

The other day, my coworker Jennifer Buscher was telling me about a restaurant just north of Broad Ripple on Westfield Boulevard and 86th street. To read up on Jennifer’s business blog Click Here

It is called Amalfi Ristorante Italiano. It is authentic Italian food made by an couple

who moved to the United States from Italy. She said it was a high end restaurant with a romantic atmosphere. She also mentioned that would be good for a romantic night out for an anniversary or Valentine’s Day. Not some much of a place for a first date or a business meeting. The pasta dishes are phenomenal, but she highly recommended their lasagna, which is apparently the restaurants most popular dish. Also, she said there is a vast wine selection, which would probably be a good topper for that romantic evening you were looking for. As for price, she said it was “Not very expensive; but expensive.” From what I can guess, I think it means that it was cheaper than she was expecting. As for a rating from Jennifer, 5 out of 5. So go check it out.

Ah Barista Cafe

Posted Thursday, September 25, 2008 by Downtown Lunch Guru

Ah Barista Cafe - http://www.ahbarista.com
Location: 201 S. Capitol Ave.

DLG Rating: 8/10

Ah Barista Cafe is a little less-known place on the ground floor of the Pan Am Building. It features a variety of sandwiches and salads, good for a quick lunch. The sandwiches are a fairly good size, come with chips and usually fill the appetite with a solid light lunch. If you are a big eater, this is not your place.

Some of the specials include: Taco Salad, Pizza Pretzel Paninis, Loaded Baked Potatoes and some other very unique choices. The cafe serves all Boar's Head meats, so the sandwiches are quality.

Another plus to the cafe is a plethora of drink options - every type of coffee, Italian cream sodas and much, much more.

The most enjoyable part of grabbing lunch at Ah Barista is the staff. Always very cordial and helpful with great recommendations.

PF Chang's

Posted Wednesday, September 10, 2008 by Downtown Lunch Guru

PF Chang’s - http://www.pfchangs.com/
Location: 49 W Maryland St.

DLG Rating: 9/10

Downtown, need Chinese… well, maybe not need, but want Chinese?? P.F. Chang’s is the place to go. This classic chain restaurant is the best Chinese in the downtown area according to this guru. Located right on the first floor of the mall, PF Chang’s has delicious food for your average downtown prices. Look to spend about $10-15 per person, but be completely full and probably take home some for the loving dog at home when you get off of work.

If you’ve been to a PF Chang’s before, you know the drill with the atmosphere. Tables can at times be too close together, but if you get lucky enough for a booth you’ll have all the space you’d ever want. The one downfall is reservations are recommended. Since it’s right in the mall they get a lot of foot traffic and it causes long waits around lunchtime.

Staff is usually solid and at times seems like you have multiple waiters/waitresses with the way the bring food out in waves. It’s a great idea though as it gets your food to you faster.

Goodfella's Pizza

Posted Friday, July 18, 2008 by kristen hanschu

Goodfella's Old World Brick Oven Pizza
Location:
9641 Olio Road
McCordsville, Indiana
317-336-6666
http://goodfellas.com/

My husband and I are from a small town Northeast of Indianapolis. Our town has very few good restaurants. What our town does have are 1,000 pizza restaurants to choose from and they just keep on coming. (Seriously we can get any kind of pizza within a 15 mile radius. Ok, maybe not 1,000, but at least 15.)
One of the best restaurants of Indianapolis is Goodfella’s Restaurant Old World Brick Oven Pizza. It has become our favorite Italian restaurant. It just opened last year and it is absolutely wonderful! I just crave the wonderful Italian cuisine.
It was voted World’s Best Pizza Restaurant in 2007. Goodfella's is real NEW YORK ITALIAN!!

My husband and I start off with their chopped salad and house balsamic vinaigrette dressing, which we split. Then on to the main course, the pizza. We order the Old World Brick Oven Pizza, which is a thin crust type of pizza. We order the works with pepperoni, sausage, extra cheese, meatballs and prosciutto. YUMMO!
Check out the menu guide to see all the wonderful choices they have to offer.
Oh, I almost forgot to mention the hot Italian bread with dipping sauce is scrumptious, but be careful not to fill-up on the bread. Side note: they do not serve bread before 5:00.
They also have wonderful pasta. My kids love their spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce on the pizza and spaghetti is so fresh. It is like eating fresh squeezed tomatoes.
The service is wonderful. The waitresses and waiters are always friendly and helpful in ordering. They also have full bar and their Cosmos are my fave! I would highly recommend this wonderful Northeast Indianapolis Italian restaurant!

Make a date and a memory at Asian Chao

Posted Tuesday, June 17, 2008 by Dean Stratman

For my Indianapolis dining guide review today, I have decided to describe a restaurant that nearly every single person has seen here in Indianapolis if they have gone to any of the local malls--Asian Chao. While it is not the typical type of restaurant that I describe in my blog and restaurant guide, as I usually do some type of fine dining establishment, I felt obligated to write about it since it is one of my favorite fast food restaurants for many important reasons. Asian Chao is a fast food chain dedicated to serving some of the best Asian style cuisine to the American public through establishments in the mall and other busy tourist areas. You have probably seen them passing out their famous Bourbon Chicken dish in

Check out Asian Chao's delicious menu here!

little paper cups as samples, which I love because no restaurants really do that anymore. The interesting part of this, however, is the fact that I would recommend their Bourbon Chicken because it is my favorite dish there. While their food is delicious and their service is quite excellent, I think it is my favorite restaurant for more personal reasons. I had my first date with the girl of my dreams there (and it was the first time I had even eaten there) right here in downtown Indianapolis during a wonderful night at Christmas at the zoo and the other festivities. She had me try the Bourbon Chicken, and ever since then it has been one of my favorite fast food chains because it has given me some of the best memories of my whole life. So, don't just take my word for it, go out and make your own memories at the best Asian style fast food restaurant chain around, Asian Chao! Take a date out to dinner and make a wonderful memory out of it! Trust me, you won't regret it. I know I don't!

Palomino restaurant: Ambiance and fine dining all in one package

Posted Friday, June 13, 2008 by Dean Stratman

In early May of 2008, myself and around eleven or thirteen other teenagers were trying to decide what type of restaurant downtown we were going to eat at right before we went over to the Children's Museum for prom. We thought of plenty of places that we considered fine dining, but most of them were far out of our price range as seniors in high school. Then, we tried to decide what type of food we wanted, and most of the girls in the group decided they either wanted Italian cuisine or a steak restaurant that had ample room for such a large group and that had a pleasant atmosphere. So, we looked and looked, and finally we found the place: Palomino Restaurant and Bar. Not only is Palomino a great lunch and dinner

For a menu guide to Palomino, follow this link!

restaurant, but on top of that, it was decently priced, has a pleasant atmosphere and bar area, and is an excellent place to take a date, just as we did before prom that night. Every single one of us there absolutely loved the food, with myself and my date splitting the Fettuccine Alfredo, and some other people in our group got excellent looking seafood dishes like their calamari or some very delicious steaks. In my opinion, the second most important part of a restaurant besides the taste and presentation of its food is certainly its atmosphere, and Palomino seems to have mastered blending fine dining with an upscale bar perfectly! Afterward, we all enjoyed the dance, but the restaurant certainly brought our night up considerably, and I would suggest visiting Palomino to everyone I know: friends, family, business colleagues, and everyone! By the way, while our prom group is too young to experience it, the night life of the restaurant is said to be quite outstanding as well!
