Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in International Marketplace

Two in our party had the traditional Thanksgiving plates and the other person ordered off the menu. We all commented that the 'traditional' plates were so much better than the other restaurants which take the time to re-stock a buffet line. Individual plates of the 'traditional' foods are definitely more sanitary than following others standing in line, especially if the restaurant staff need to re-stock the food items. A bonus with offering the full menu was a welcome additional surprise! Rick's is well known for an excellent choice on the west side of Indy.

Wonderful food and delightful service. The shrimp cocktail is well overpriced for 4 shrimp...the seafood pasta was a bargain, as was the flatiron steak...and both were delicious...

The Meridian has a neighborhood feel but with class. The ambiance is good for celebratory dinners for a group or an intimate dinner for two. You can expect to be attended to. The reception is warm. And you feel safe in the space and not rushed. Catlin was our server and she was exceptional! What I enjoy most is if you have special dietary needs, they listen and accommodate as best they can, which in my experience has proven to be above my expectations. I would recommend The Meridian to my friends.

Happily surprised by our brunch! We heard you go for the vibes…the food is ok…but our experience was quite different…the food was just as fabulous as the esthetics!!!!!! We arrived at the estate and of course were blown away! We explored the showrooms and loved everything we saw. Then we moved to the absolutely gorgeous dinner room!! The styling was impeccable with stunning views. Our server quickly greeted us and was wonderful offering us suggestions and answering our questions. The servers were more than attentive without being overbearing. The food was fabulous! Everyone in my party was blown away with the quality of the food and how quickly it all came out. Our cocktails were also fabulous! We were honestly completely blown away with our experience and are absolutely planning on coming back for dinner. 

Courses is our favorite place to eat in Indianapolis! The food, service, and extra special care is always excellent. Dined here for my husband's birthday recently and everyone there was so wonderful. If you haven't checked out Courses, run don't walk!
