Creation Cafe
337 W. 11th Street
Indianapolis, IN 46202

If you're looking for a downtown Indianapolis restaurant - check out this restaurant. This great little restaurant is tucked at the north end of the canal. After spending some time walking the length of the canal, my boyfriend and I stopped at the Creation Cafe for dinner. The location of this restaurant is perfect. Essentially, people reach a dead end at this part of the canal. So what's next?! Eat!

For starters, the sign was appealing so we decided to give it a shot. We walked into the restaurant and the atmosphere was great. It had the feel of a small coffee shop, yet it served delicious food! The outside balcony overlooked the canal. There was a 30 minute wait to sit outside, so we were asked to sit and wait near the actually "cafe" part of the restaurant (where they really did serve coffee). There were comfy couches and chairs with numerous books to read while we waited. Needless to say, the wait went quickly and their service was caring and prompt.

The food was absolutely delicious. The waiter recommended the Cuban sandwich - so I ordered it. The portions were generous and I took enough home for another meal. The french fries were also great - some of the best fries I've ever eaten!

Overall, the portions were generous, the food was fresh, and the menu had many options. Creation Cafe's menu was general, but all of the food had a special twist to it. It's a restaurant in Indianapolis that still hasn't been discovered yet.

Alcatraz Brewing Company: Definitely not prison food

Posted Friday, July 10, 2009 by Mitch Burk

Alcatraz Brewing Co.
49 W. Maryland St
Indianapolis, IN 46204

Question: What does the Alcatraz penitentiary and Alcatraz Brewing Company have in common?

Answer: Big.

The penitentiary held over 450 prisoners at one point, and a meal at the downtown Indianapolis restaurant could probably feed about 45 people (ok, slight exaggeration, but the meals were huge!)

The most outstanding feature of Alcatraz would be the portion sizes. The nachos were stacked a foot high and could easily be an appetizer for 5-6 people, and nearly all of us left with an entire take home box full of left-overs.

The food was great, the atmosphere was fun, and the service was very good. The menu listed as many beers as many other Indianapolis pubs and drink specials made many of them very reasonably priced.

If you ever go, plan on splitting a pizza and an appetizer and make sure to show up hungry! Alcatraz is a solid choice for anyone looking for the best restaurant in Indianapolis!

Circle Center dining: Champps Americana

Posted Wednesday, July 8, 2009 by Mitch Burk

Champps Americana
49 W Maryland St.
Indianapolis, IN 46204
317.951.0033

Recently my lovely girlfriend Melissa and I had a nice little date night. After searching through the perfect selections of Indianapolis date restaurants, I landed on Champps, located in Circle Center Mall downtown. We were both very happy with this downtown Indianapolis restaurant.

Surprisingly, we were seated immediately at 7:30 on a Saturday evening and had very good service. The wait staff was on top of things, and very friendly.

We were also surprised by the wide variety of selections on their menu. This is definitely not just another restaurant in Indianapolis, Champps has pastas, burgers, wraps, ribs, pork chops and so much more!

I went with the Chicken Parmesan and could not believe how big the entree was! I only finished less than half of it and took the rest home. Melissa landed on the Fresca burger and was very happy with her selection as well. (Coincidentally, she asked the question "Do you put ketchup on this" which was the same question she asked on our last date night to Red Robin)

All in all, we had nothing bad to say about Champps... It was a very solid choice and definitely on the the best restaurants Indianapolis!

O'Reilly's Irish Bar and Restaurant

Posted Monday, June 22, 2009 by Mitch Burk

O'Reilly's Irish Bar and Restaurant
36 S. Pennsylvania St.
Indianapolis, IN 46204
317.974.0674

For our marketing team lunch last week, we make the quick trek down Pennsylvania Street to O'Reilly's Irish Bar and Restaurant. This was Abby's first restaurant selection since joining the Compendium team, and she definitely pulled through when the pressure was on!

O'Reilly's fits in well with other Indianapolis pubs, but definitely has it's own feel. It does a great job of combining the atmosphere of an old fashioned pub, with the modern day set-up that sports fanatics and business workers would be looking for.

The menu at this downtown Indianapolis restaurant is also one of their great selling points. They have many different variations of burgers, salads and wraps to choose from, as well as Irish specialties and a group of meals the offer as $5 lunch specials everyday.

For the most part, the portions were generous. Some of the salads were even overflowing off of the plates and I couldn't keep my BBQ sandwich intact because it was so big.

Most of us agreed that the biggest draw-back of the restaurant was the very smokey atmosphere. Also, what seemed to be a refreshing, chilly environment upon first walking into the restaurant turned into an ice-box feeling as we could hardly use our utensils because our hands were shivering due to the frigid temperature.

All in all, if you're looking for Indianapolis lunch restaurants, O'Reilly's possesses plenty favorable characteristics that make it the perfect location, be prepared to wait for a table if you want to eat outside, and bring a jacket if you're not a fan of the cold!

Back to Mass Ave: Front Page Sports Bar & Grill

Posted Monday, June 8, 2009 by Mitch Burk

Front Page Sports Bar & Grill
310 Massachusetts Ave.
Indianapolis, IN 46204
317.631.6682

Apparently we loved the hike to Mass Ave enough last week to return there this week. Friday's destination: Front Page Sports Bar & Grill. One of the better known sports bars Indianapolis, Front Page provided all of the necessary features to create a very enjoyable lunch atmosphere.

Front Page has seating both indoors and outdoors, which makes it perfect on a warm afternoon. You better get there early on a nice day, or else the outdoor seating will quickly fill up.

The menu at this Indianapolis restaurant was fairly typical for a sports bar & grill. A cheeseburger and fries was the popular choice, with Mikey & Meghan getting the Blue Bella Burger (which Mikey describes simply as "heavenly") while I went for the classic BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger.

Chandra thoroughly enjoyed the GIANT tenderloin, and Megan opted for a delicious seafood entree. Abby, the newest addition to Compendium's marketing team, landed on the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. She thought the portion sizes were favorable and the sandwich had good flavor.

Like most of the places we've stumbled up in the past few weeks, the atmosphere makes this downtown Indianapolis restaurant an enjoyable place to eat. The wait staff was very helpful, the outdoor seating was perfect for a sunny day, and the multiple big screen televisions inside make it a perfect place to watch a game with friends!

An Adventure to Mass Ave: MacNiven's

Posted Friday, May 29, 2009 by Mitch Burk

MacNiven's
339 Massachusetts Ave
Indianapolis, IN 46204
317.632.7268

For the Friday lunch, Meghan landed on MacNiven's Restaurant and Bar as the selection. MacNiven's has the feel of a Scottish pub, with the menu and atmosphere to match. It had a similar feel to other Indianapolis pubs, with quality food and fun service.

We all agreed that the atmosphere and wait staff gives MacNiven's a very "fun" feel, especially on a beautiful afternoon when they open up the windows. We were able to sit at a table facing Mass Ave while enjoying the fine Scottish cuisine.

Chandra and Meghan both ordered the Angus burger, which is a cheeseburger prepared in a very unusual way. They flatten out the patty until it is very thin and the size of the plate! Both of the ladies thought the burgers were top-notch.

Megan's grilled cheese was, quite possible, the "best grilled cheese ever," and Mikey claimed that his fish & chips was golden delicious. I went for the chicken curry with fried rice and was very pleased with the great flavor!

Although the menu was varied in its selections, it still seemed fairly limited. If you're not willing to get outside of the "norm" with food selections, this might not be your perfect fit. However, for a quick lunch break on a nice day, or an after work drink with friends (it is known to have an ample beer selection) MacNiven's should be the perfect downtown Indianapolis restaurant for you!

No room in the Elbow Room

Posted Friday, March 20, 2009 by Jason Gergely

A few weeks ago before I left for my spring break, we decided to grab lunch at this little place just north of the circle on Pennsylvania. Elbow room is a great Indianapolis restaurant that everyone needs to stop by at some point.

When the marketing team here at Compendium went, we all happen to order something different, which was good to give us some insight on their expansive menu.

Mikey ordered a veggie burger. When I asked him what he thought about it he did the "Raise the Roof" motion. He said that it was good and his burger had a lot of flavor. Also he really liked the bar and thought it might be a good place to check out. Maybe for a game? or just to have a couple drinks with friends?

Meghan ordered the strawberry chicken salad and was very impressed with the fact that they had Fat Free dressings for a healthier alternative. She said that her food was very flavorful, even with it being a more health conscious meal.

Megan had the Turkey Bourbon sandwich and found it to be very good. She mentioned that it was a bit crowded, but if you are going to grab lunch with co-workers, you have to commit and make sure that you have enough time.

Chandra at the cob salad with chicken and found it to be tasty as well. She said the staff were very friendly and very efficient. However, she said that the place was small, "hense the name 'Elbow Room'" Also she mentioned something about her dressing being soupy... so watch out and be prepared!

As for me, I ordered the American Burger. It was a harty meal consisting of a burger, with American cheese, red onions, lettuce, and bacon. And to go

along with it, I ordered the fries... oh how i love fries.

I think we all would agree that it was a great downtown Indianapolis restaurant. However, the rush comes around noon, so if you are going there for lunch, just get there a little early.

So if you are looking for a good downtown Indianapolis restaurant, you should think about going to Elbow room, located at 605 N. Pennsylvania. You can check out their website and their menu online!

Why I love Scotty's

Posted Monday, February 23, 2009 by BJ McKay

Scotty's Brewhouse in Downtown Indianapolis boasts the largest restaurant menu in Indianapolis. If you are looking at Indianapolis New Restaurants take a trip to Scotties.

Scotties Brewhouse

As an aside, I used to wait tables at the Original Scotties in Muncie, IN and if I can vouch for nothing less it is easily the cleanest restaurant in the entire universe.

As for the management, Scott Wise is the caliber of restaurant owner that I wish I could be! He's a risk taking, innovative, marketing machine. If that weren't enough, his restaurant delivers on all his promises.

The experience is incredibly consistent for the volume of customers that Scotty's serves everyday. Scotty's will compete and win business away from other Downtown Indianapolis Restaurants because he is willing to earn you away. That cannot be underestimated for a restaurantuer. (Did I spell that right?)

Another homerun from a marketer that all Indianpolis restaurant owner's should take notes from.

McCormick & Schmick's Indianapolis Seafood Restaurant

Posted Friday, December 12, 2008 by Chris Baggott

During the holiday season we are always running late in making our group reservations for department or company parties. Usually all the best Restaurants in Indianapolis are sold out months in advance. So I really was pleased to get this email today from McCormick&Schmick's Seafood Restaurant Downtown Indianapolis today. Located just one block off the circle in Indy there is a ton of great parking all within a few steps to their front door.

M & S's isn't just for Seafood but also is a great steak restaurant and the bar has one of the best great happy hours, complete with a huge Hamburger for about a dollar.

According to this ad, they still have room for holiday reservations...not bad for one of the Best Restaurant Indianapolis.

Weber Grill Favorites

Posted Monday, December 8, 2008 by Ellie Cummins

Today I would like to discuss Weber Grill in my Indianapolis Restaurant Review. Weber Grill, a great restaurant in Downtown Indianapolis Restaurant features some of my favorite foods including burgers and ribs. The video below shows some of the Weber Grill creations and how you can use their seasonings and cooking styles to create delicious meals. If you are looking for a great dining option and steakhouse in Indianapolis I highly recommend Weber Grill!

Best Burger Quest Continues - Bub's Burgers

Posted Saturday, November 22, 2008 by Chris Baggott

Bub's
210 W Main St
Carmel IN 46032
(317) 706-2827
website

Located in the Art's&Design District of Carmel Indiana (about 8 miles from downtown Indianapolis) and just of the Monon Trail might just be a restaurant with the Best Hamburger in Indy.

Handpattied from fresh ground beef, these hamburgers are so special that the owners Matt & Rachel Frey need to have special buns supplied locally from one of our great Indianapolis Bakeries. Although Bub's (Big Ugly Burger) is most famous for it's hamburgers, several people tell me that they compete well as a seafood restaurant Indianapolis with a Mahi Mahi filet. Bub's is also a popular stop of Ice Cream in the summer for those traveling the Monon Trail.

In my quest for the Best Burger in Indy I've had the chance to write a lot for this Indianapolis Menu Guide. Mostly I focus on Downtown Indianapolis Restaurants, but Bub's Burgers now gives me a new reason to visit Carmel.

Indianapolis Lunch Restaurant: Dick's! (BBQ, that is...)

Posted Monday, November 17, 2008 by Chris Baggott

Another great Nicki Laycoax's Indianapolis Restaurant Reviews. I'm sure Nicki is working on client business with Squish Designs while she's eating all these meals...or maybe she is talking to the owners about using Squish to help them grow their business. Who am I to not take advantage of a great reviewer...thank you Nicki!

Dick's Bodacious BBQ

50 N. Pennsylvania St.
Indianapolis, IN 46204
Phone:(317)916-9600
Fax: (317)916-9605

What a fun title. On Monday, November 3, 2008 my partner and
I ate at Dick's Bodacious BBQ. I was really excited to eat
at the Downtown Indianapolis restaurant location because I had eaten it before at
the Verizon Wireless Center in Noblesville, and it was SOOOO
delicious.

I didn't realize, until I started writing this blog post, that
Dicks' is not a nationwide chain, but rather a local restaurant!
They used to have locations open in Avon and at the Verizon
Wireless Center in Noblesville, but the only location that remains open is the one
at the corner of Market and Pennsylvania Streets in Downtown Indy.

The staff was so amazingly helpful, and made the decision making process almost like fast food for new patrons of the restaurant. Of course everything
sounded good, but I was encouraged to try the special of the day-Smoked
Salmon. It was the best salmon that I have had! We also had wings,
a Pulled Pork BBQ sandwich, green beans, sweet potatoes, and a
large drink. All of it was delicious!

Price for 2 meals with sides was approximately $23.

Do I recommend as part of my Indianapolis dining guide? You betcha!

Unique thing at the restaurant? BBQ sauce served in motor oil looking
bottles to top your BBQ that is served sans sauce, for your saucing
preference!

High End Downtown Indianapolis Restaurant for Lunch or Dinner

Posted Thursday, November 13, 2008 by Chris Baggott

Once again my good friend Nicki Laycoax of Squish Designs has come up with a fantastic review of another place to go under the category: best restaurant Indianapolis.

14 West Restaurant at 14 West Maryland
www.14westindy.com

14 West Maryland Street
Indianapolis, Indiana, 46204
Telephone: (317) 636-1414
Email: customerservice@14westindy.com

A colleague of mine that I met as a result of blogging, treated me to a nice lunch at 14 West Restaurant. It was my first visit, but had heard great things about the restaurant and the suites that are above this downtown Indianapolis restaurant, from multiple people.

The restaurant has a great wine list, exciting menu, and very able catering
staff. (I thought I saw a full bar, but I can't confirm from the website)
Ashley Sorenson, the very sweet and professional Hotel and
Banquet Manager made certain that our dining experience was great!

In the picture, you are looking at the Caesar Salad topped with
Seared Tuna as well as the Crab Cakes. We also had the Red Garnet
Yam Soup and the Lobster Brie Macaroni&Cheese.

This restaurant is recommended for those on a professional lunch or
dinner meeting and would also be a nice spot for a romantic Indianapolis date restaurant. At lunch, the music playing in the background was modern adult contemporary. It was a nice change from what I normally hear in restaurants.

Summary: Food was absolutely excellent. Prices were moderate. Service was perfect.

Buggs Temple a new (to me) downtown Indianapolis Lunch Restaruant

Posted Monday, November 10, 2008 by Chris Baggott

buggs Tavern, Indianapolis Restaurant, Downtown Lunch Restaurant

Buggs Temple
337 W 11th Street
Indianapolis, Indiana 46202
317.955.2389

So how do I evaluate a downtown Indianapolis restaurant? Especially for Lunch? Ambiance, convenience and food. To me, to get a designation as one of the best lunch restaurants in Indianapolis you have to start with how it feels. Most of the time you want a place you can have a conversation, a restaurant that’s attractive and friendly….a place that’s cool so you glow in how cool it is to your guest.

Buggs Temple at the north end of the Downtown Indy Canal meets that criteria. I never even heard of Buggs Temple before 11am this morning, but Kyle Saylers of Clarian Health Ventures treated me today and it was fantastic. It’s a great old church located right on the tip of the Canal. It was a little bit of a hike from my office on the downtown Indianapolis Circle and I saw there was plenty of parking. Inside were huge windows looking over the canal…it was a little chilly for the outside deck, but it looked beautiful. The waiters were fantastic, fun, knew the menu and were wearing June Cleaver aprons, Our guy knew the menu, was friendly and attentive while giving us plenty of space to have our conversation.

I've not been to this Indianapolis downtown restaurant at night, but imagine it's a great place for a date. Supposedly there is an upstairs that has terrific views and is one of the top spots for Indianapolis fine dining. The menu did include Steak and Seafood along with great grilled sandwiches. I had a Cuban, which came with a fresh mixed salad. I'm not sure about breakfast, and their website is one of the worst I've ever seen.

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.

Shula's Steakhouse puts the "fine" back in fine dining!

Posted Thursday, June 12, 2008 by Dean Stratman

Although it has been quite a few years since I have visited Shula's Steakhouse in downtown Indianapolis, I will never forget the experiences, nor the food, that I enjoyed there. The first time I walked into Shula's, probably around the age of eight years old, I clearly remember trying to decide in my head whether it was some type of sports bar or fine dining restaurant, but never really figuring out which. It isn't until right now that I have realized that it cannot be placed into some type of category as I had been trying to do, because it is a very interesting mixture of restaurants. Not only is it a fine dining restaurant that serves probably the best

steaks in Indianapolis, but it is also an elegant sports bar (the menus are actually footballs!), as one would expect coming from the coach of the Miami Dolphins' perfect season Don Shula. In fact, Shula's Steakhouse could be included in many other categories in my opinion, because it is not so fine that children aren't completely welcome, making it an incredible family restaurant, but it is elegant enough to take a date on a special occasion or to hold a very professional meeting. Shula's is an all-in-one dining experience, bringing together sports, fine dining, families, romance, elegance, and great steaks! So, visit Shula's Steakhouse for any occasion and see why I consider it the best restaurant in downtown Indianapolis, by far.

Italian Food

Posted Tuesday, March 11, 2008 by kristen hanschu

Buca de Beppos has been a downtown Indianapolis restaurant staple since 1979. Known for their great food as well as huge portions, this is the place to go for food. Recently remodeled, the place feels warm and cozy, yet not cramped and closed in. It's a wonderful atmosphere where you can truly relax. Calming mood music plays in the background, and we were delighted to be serenaded by the likes of Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, and "The Chairman of the Board" Frank Sinatra. I was impressed at how knowledgeable and extremely helpful our waiter Brian was. The other wait staff that I observed seemed to be just as exceptional. The establishment was absolutely spotless.

Complimentary Bread with a nice thick Italian crust is served, and is accompanied by a wonderful Garlic Pesto Butter. The parmesan on the table seemed to be of good quality as well. Many items have small or large portions to choose between. The small portions are anything but, and the large portions are enormous. Larger portions also include your choice of fresh tossed salad, Caesar salad, or homemade soup.

Yummy Tex Mex

Posted Tuesday, February 12, 2008 by kristen hanschu

As I stated before, by no means am I the expert in restaurant critiquing. But I must say that my new favorite place to go is Indianapolis' very own Alculpolco Joe's. Staying true to its name, it is everything the name makes it out to be. If you like Mexican food, you will like this place.

There is so much to try here, your mouth will be watering once you take a look at their extensive menu. We started off with the chicken avocado soup. This soup is perfect for chilly winter weather when you just want to curl up next to a fireplace with a comforting, warm meal. Each bite holds a variety of textures and flavors such as chewy, shredded chicken and smooth chunks of avocado. Additional tastes of garlic and onion add flavor to this delicious soup.

They have green chile rellenos have a wonderful warm flavor when roasted, which is perfect for a chilly evening. They are stuffed with cheese, dipped in an egg batter and fried. The flavors and textures blend perfectly together. Queso fresco (fresh Mexican cheese) is a traditional choice for this wonderful dish.

I ended the evening with the sopapillas. It's a classic Mexican snack made with a little sugar to sweeten it. Usually "sopes" as they are sometimes called are topped with meats and veggies, but these sweet versions are topped with fruit.

Another fine Indianapolis Menu Guide find. This wonderful little downtown Indianapolis restaurant is the cat's meow!

This commercial for Best Tex Mex says it all:

Sushi Restaurants Indianapolis

Posted Tuesday, February 12, 2008 by kristen hanschu

I would not call myself a sushi connoisseur by any means, but I have been to enough sushi restaurants in the country to have an opinion on which are the best. I would have to say that out of all the sushi restaurants in this great country, my favorite would have to be one that I found in the Indianapolis Dining Guide. It is an upscale place called Sushi on the Rocks. It is a spin off of another restaurant by the name of Yummy Chopsticks. Sushi on the Rocks is by far the best downtown Indianapolis restaurant there is.

One of the delicious rolls

It has a unique blend of modern decor with a touch of traditional Japan. There are many menu items to choose from. You can order anything from chicken teriyaki to seaweed salad. They have the most exciting selection of rolls as well. I suggest trying either the spicy tuna roll or the volcano roll. They have over 40 to choose from, so there is one for everybody. Everything is prepared extremely well and fresh. Of course, lunch is lovely too, and that's when I was here. The menu is extensive, offering a la carte sushi, Korean and Japanese dishes, and sandwiches and salads with an Asian bento box.

Next time you are in the mood for sushi, try this place and enjoy! You can find this lovely place at 235 South Meridian Street Indianapolis, IN 46225.
