    This is such a unique and elegant experience. Book a table, put on some nice clothes, and make the drive. From the time you turn into the drive that takes you through the manicured grounds flanked by sculptures to the door of the estate that houses RH, you are transported to one of the most lovely places in Indy. The store itself covers every room with beautiful RH furniture, but the restaurant is spectacular. The menu has everything including different caviar service as well as a modern brunch service with expertly crafted drinks, espresso, and two types of freshly pressed juice drinks. The impossibly thin pancakes and their black Forrest bacon was unlike I’ve had anywhere. My wife had the avocado toast which was very hearty yet light with pickled onions and a salad of parsley and dill. We can’t wait to come back and see the handsome views (not to mention the outdoor furniture) in person when the weather is warmer. Get on the list now!

    .I had the Prime Rib and it was fantastic. Cooked perfectly and the loaded baked potato was great too. My wife had the Salmon Fondue. She said the fondue was delicious and the Salmon was prepared perfect. We usually make Firebirds our destination for a special occasion such as Valentines Day.

    We had a great time although the time was much too short. We felt rushed to order. But, I suppose that should be expected on a Valentines date.
