Best Contemporary American Restaurants in South Indy

Had never been to Oakmont before. We had just seen a show, it was late and we found Oakmont on the app. Not very many options at 9:45 on a Sunday night. The menu looked promising. The drinks were fun and delicious. They had several Christmas cocktails available. The cauliflower puree was very good. The French fries were cooked perfectly. Everyone at the table was eating the French fries from the plate of the person that ordered them. They were ordered without the truffle sauce. The salmon entree was delicious and cooked well. All of us were pleased and satisfied with our entrees. From the yummy pickle slices served with the chicken sandwich,the tajin on the chicken quesadilia, or the "something spicy" in the budda bowl, it all worked and made us very hungry eaters happy and satisfied.

The aesthetics were very nice, the food was amazing and our waitress Raizel was outstanding. I had the Pancake Tacos and my daughter had the Brie Stuffed French Toast. The pancake was amazing and fluffy, not dense and heavy. It was filled with egg, crumbled sausage, bacon and a little cheese…delicious! My daughter had the Brie Stuffed French Toast with Berries which was a nice mixture of sweet with savory of the Brie! Also quite delicious! Our waitress was friendly and professional, she was attentive without being overbearing. Will definitely be going back and asking specifically for Raizel!

We had a wonderful time at Meridian for dinner. The ambiance is festive and not too loud. Our server was attentive and friendly. The boar bolognese and burger were delicious.

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.

We always have a great time at Northside Social. The service is great, we love the food. It has energy and you can still hear everyone at the table.
