Downtown Indianapolis Best Steak Restaurant for Ambiance

Posted Monday, October 27, 2008 by Chris Baggott

Mo's A Place for Steaks
47 South Pennsylvania Street
Indianapolis, IN
Phone: 317-624-0720
Fax: 317-624-0721

What I love about this Downtown Indianapolis Steak Restaurant is the setting itself. (I'll get to the food) I like windows and because of Mo's location on the Corner of Pennsylvania and E. Maryland you have great windows not only in the front, but also all along the wall on the Maryland side. I love reviewing Indianapolis restaurants, but don't often get to talk about windows...but once you have them you hate to give them up. We are blessed with some great Steak Restaurants in Downtown Indy including Morton's, St. Elmo's, Shula's and Ruth Chris' but none has nearly the great interior of Mo's.

Mo's Steak indianapolis restaurant reviews Indy

When you think of Indianapolis Nightlife, Mo's is well located next to Conceo Fieldhouse so it's perfect for before or after an event. The bar is great for Pub beers and terrific Martini's or anything else you would want in a cocktail. They do serve lunch but are much better suited as an Indianapolis Dinner Restaruant. No entertainment so it's not a nightlife place except for the other people who keep it buzzing.

Oh the food....delicious. Excellent Steaks including a huge Porterhouse and awesome filets. Some seafood and of course a hamburger. What more can I say?

I would put Mo's clearly in among the best restaurant in Indianapolis and one of my favorite Date places..... Fine Dining for sure.

Great Indianapolis Lunch Restaruant: Au Bon Pain

Posted Thursday, October 23, 2008 by Chris Baggott

Au Bon Pain
26 Monument Circle
Indianapolis, IN 46202
Phone: 317-226-9300
Fax: 317-636-9128

So in the beginning I was resistant to Au Bon Pain when they first opened on the Circle in Downtown Indianapolis. I liked the South Bend Chocolate Factory and felt bad supporting a evil national competitor opening right next door. I also hate names that I can't pronounce very well...

So I was wrong. I probably frequent Au Bon Pain more that any other restaurant on the circle. An they are not evil. If you look at the Au Bon Pain website, you will find that they are front and center with all of their nutrition information for every menu item. Health Magazine has named them one of the healthiest restaurants. The food is really good and has a wide variety. Every day they have an assortment of soups, and as you can see from the video, they encourage sampleing. (I'm sure you could sneak in a lunch just on the samples) The also have lots of portion appropriate salds already made up, along with fresh wraps and half sandwiches. I wouldn't call this a dinner restaurant, it's more like a delicatessen with great lunch food that's fast. They also have really good breakfast foods and for cookies&muffins it's one of the best bakeries in Indianapolis.

The people are friendly and I'm happy to write a positive review of this great downtown Indianapolis restaurant.

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!

Eddy's Neighborhood Bar and Eatery, for all occasions

Posted Thursday, June 12, 2008 by Dean Stratman

While most of the restaurants I will include in my Indianapolis dining guide actually are located in downtown Indianapolis, sometimes a restaurant just grabs my attention enough that I feel the need to include it in my guide, even if it is located all the way out on Geist Reservoir. Most people have heard of Geist if they are from Indianapolis, as it is a mere half-hour drive east on I-70 and north on Olio Road, but most probably haven't heard of a pretty good restaurant located on its shores, known as Eddy's Bar and Eatery. I first heard about Eddy's through one of my friends that I went to high school with, and after the couple of times I have gone there for dinner, I sure am glad she told me about it. Eddy's Neighborhood Bar and

Grill is an indoor-outdoor sports bar, and delicious eatery that serves everything from great steaks to Italian cuisine, to local seafood, all at a very reasonable price for its prime location with a view of Geist Reservoir. In my opinion, Eddy's is an anytime restaurant, in that one could have lunch or dinner there with colleagues, friends, relatives, business partners, families, or just about anyone else, because it has an atmosphere of what I would consider a seafood restaurant with an upscale twist. The combination, however, makes for a delicious lunch and dinner restaurant, with a great view, and anyone who goes there is bound to have a great and memorable experience. So, take the drive out to Eddy's Neighborhood Bar and Eatery--it is certainly worth it!
