Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Broad Ripple / Meridian - Kessler

Had a phenomenal dinner as always at HC Tavern! Our server Ken was awesome & the upstairs outdoor patio was enclosed and decorated beautifully for the holiday season! I enjoyed a glass of Prosecco with the pork chop and horseradish mashed potatoes, while my husband enjoyed a Pinot noir with the ribs and fries. Both entrees were delicious! If you are there for the holidays be sure to get their cherry bourbon cobbler- it was fantastic!! Cheers HCT+K! We’ll be back soon 😊

Capri is our GoTo place for Italian food in Indianapolis. There a a lot of good Italian restaurants in town, but Capri is at the top of my list. Went there last night for a birthday dinner on a busy Thursday night 1 week before Christmas. The restaurant was packed with people many tables were occupied by 6 or more guests. Only had a short wait on our reservation, and the hostess seated us in a quiet corner table for 2, which was just perfect. Our favorite waiter was off this night, but a newer waiter, who had been trained by him took good care of us. Starters were great as we were really hungry and came out quickly. The calamari was tender and flavorful and enough for 2 people if you wanted to share (I didn't). Dinner rolls right out of the oven helped our hunger until the main courses arrived. I love their pasta because if is made fresh by them. I had the traditional linguine with clams in a light white sauce that was just thrown right size to complete the whole bowl. My wife had chicken lasagne, which was also delicious and enough to take home ½ of the portion. Desserts of bread pudding and cheese cake topped off the evening. We never felt rushed even though it was a busy evening and tables were turning over frequently. Be sure to use OpenTable to make your reservation and you will not be disappointed.

When I made my reservation, I requested a quiet table. Realizing it was going to be a busy evening so close to Christmas I had low expectations that they would be able to accommodate my request. So, I was delighted when we were seated at the quietest booth in the restaurant. Our dinner was perfect as a result - thanks so much, Firebirds!

We had ribeye and Alaskan king crab meat. So good! We got married here 7 years ago and love coming back on our anniversary. Wonderful place to get married. I’d choose getting married here every time! The only thing that I have negative to say is that it’s very loud and hard to talk. If you want a quiet dining experience I’d say pass. The energy is great tho!

Good food and great atmosphere. Great service. Good is overpriced but it’s good.
