    I love salt, very much a savory person. But this was the saltiest meal I have ever tasted. Will not be returning as it wasn’t to my liking.

    Great food and drink but the beer tasted odd and was served too warm so we traded for another that was also warm. Wine and food very good to great. Service was medium to ok but not great. But service was friendly and responsive to any issue. But where are all the people?! We came for dinner pre Pacers game and there were only 3 people at the bar and NO other diners at all! Why? We loved the food and location -just walked to the game.
    The HulmanResponded on December 8, 2024
    Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed the food, wine, and our convenient location. We apologize for the beer temperature and will address this to improve. Some evenings are quieter, but we’re always striving to create a great atmosphere. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience! Hulman Management

    The Hulman was excellent! Food selection is great & reasonably prices for a hotel restaurant. We went for brunch. The breakfast sandwich was hot & very tasty! The best part of our experience was our server, Sherry. Sherry attentive & friendly, making us feel at "home." She also did a great job sharing information about the other amenities of The Hulman. She asked a colleague to give us a tour of the rooftop bar space...which is AMAZING....I'm thinking about hosting my bday dinner here next year! :) Be sure to check out The Hulman. I can't wait to go back to try cocktails & dinner!

    Very nice decor and the staff was nice. We were the only ones there as the lunch rush had just finished. The food was ok, I would say not worth the price we paid for it though.

    Food was good, biggest issue was it was cold and too salty. The staff were amazing. Prices were way too high for the quality.

    They called and told us they weren’t serving dinner 5 minutes before our reservation. Totally ruined our whole dinner because it was before a concert and there was nowhere else that could fit us in. Very disappointing.

    We had a 5 PM reservation, received a call from the restaurant at 4:45 that the kitchen had an issue and we could not dine. While maybe not a fair rating it left us in a bind 15 minutes before our reservation to find a place to eat. There were two major concerts downtown that night.

    The crispy Brussels and steak frites were excellent. The Farmer's Market Bowl was just average. The mixed berry panne cotta was a good shareable dessert. Our server was distracted and that impacted the quality of our service. The menu is so limited and we knew that going in. I concede my expectations may have been way too high. We left disappointed.
    The HulmanResponded on September 3, 2024
    John, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback from your experience. The shortcomings you noted from service have been and are actively being address with the team. We are happy that you enjoyed the brussels and steak frites and have passed along all feedback to the Chef as well. We look forward to serving you again and hope to make your experience more memorable.
