We dined here on Christmas Eve. They were very busy but we never felt rushed; our server Roman did an amazing job. We loved the corn puree and pork cheeks entree. The duck had a great flavor but was not as tender as other places. Biggest regret was not getting the bolognese. Desserts were all tasty-I’ll for sure be back!

Great food quality, portions and presentation. Root & Bone offers a variety of different entrees with great flavor. Not your typical menu which is great for trying new things. They also offer a good kids menu that my children were able to choose from. Overall great experience. Will definitely be back!

Gather 22 is exactly what Indy’s dining scene needed! We stopped in for lunch while picking up friends from out of town, and it instantly became a highlight of our day. From the moment we walked in, the space felt warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The attention to detail—from the thoughtful decor to the friendly, attentive service—was incredible. The Byrne’s grilled pizza was hands-down the best we’ve had—perfectly crispy, loaded with flavor, and absolutely unforgettable. If you’re visiting during the Yuletide Tiki Tavern, don’t miss the Hoosier Vice. It’s a fun, festive twist on the classic Miami Vice and completely hits the mark. We will be back many, MANY times.
