archetype wrote about Greek's Pizzeria
My first experience with these folks. Got a medium, regular crust, vegge pizza to go. Three problems when we got it home: 1. It was incredibly oily. I've never seen a pizza so oily. 2. It wasn't completely baked. About half way to being baked. 3. Tasteless green olives. I don't know how them manged to get green olives that had no olive taste. We were amazed. We're not picky, but this was just badly made pizza. Perhaps they were having an off night. It happens. But there were hardly any customers in the resturant when I picked up the pizza, so the kitchen certainly wasn't overwhelmed. There's no incentive to trying them again.
IrishBill wrote about Petite Chou (Clay Terrace)
We had lunch there today. We'd been there a month ago and liked it. But today the "background music" was way TOO HARSH and WAY TOO LOUD! So loud that we were unable to carry on a normal conversation at our table. It was a relief just to get out of there. It's a great place for lunch, but the experience was ruined by the LOUD and OBTRUSIVE MUSIC.

Kudos to Indy's tucked away local bistros... I recently took a friend to Saffron Cafe birthday dinner - her choice - I'd never heard of the place. Anyway, I was immediately impressed from the second I walked in the door. Beautiful place, quiet, quaint. Fab hospitality... Tasty eats. I had the Saffron version of a gyro. Friendy had the honey lamb. Both meals were fantastic and we were given PLENTY of food. A tad bit pricey - dinner was a little over $50. Try the tea... It's a chocolate, minty variety. No tea bags - they make it fresh for you. Overall a great experience and a nice break from the nation chain spots.
Buckwheat wrote about Scotty's Brewhouse
Maybe it was just an off night but service was awful! It was a slow weeknight but getting service was a major task and the servers seemed kind of lifeless. The food is about average quality at slightly above average prices. The selection is pretty good. Good place to watch sporting events unless you're on a budget. The outside patio looks like it would be fun during warm weather but overall I would say you probably passed a better place walking from your car to the front door of this place.
PHMLMEH wrote about Cairo Cafe
It is fun tasty and exciting. They are way better than the Egyptian room and have a better selection of hookahs. As far as the food thats great too. The one and only detail that I would ask them to improve is the cleanliness of the bathrooms and such. Other than that its perfect!
PHMLMEH wrote about Sushi on the Rocks
I have been coming to Sushi on the Rocks for around 2 years now. I have to be honest in saying I was afraid of the prices, portions and traffic. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that all my concerns were just that and didn't become the reality of my dining experience. I visit Sushi on the Rocks about every 2 weeks so I would consider myself pretty knowledgeable about the food quality, dining atmosphere, and service. They use to have half price sushi but my server kindly explained that the owner did the half price sushi as a promotion and was not making any profit off of it. Sushi on the Rocks did the half price off the entire sushi menu for almost a year and for not making very much to no money off of that I am far more grateful than upset that it is only select rolls as of now. The sushi is not comparable to any other sushi in Indianapolis and I couldn't ask for a better environment!!!

Edward's drive-in on the south side has a rockin' tenderloin, and some good onion rings to boot.

Very deep, informative article today. I always thought restaurant reviews were silly anyway.
porcelina68 wrote about 8 Lucky Buffet
My family and I decided to go there because the parking lot was always packed, plus they advertise several varieties of food, so I thought we would all be happy. Not so. They had little quanity of everything, and what they did have was disgusting. The area they sat us in smelled of urine, and we were nowhere near the restrooms. The best part of eating here was leaving.
NotHAPPY wrote about Our Bake Shoppe
I recently hosted a Baby Sprinkle for one of my best friends in October 2009. We found a cake, cupcakes and stand on their website that we both thought would be just perfect for the party, this is the ONLY reason I came to this shoppe. I went in and made my order with the owner REBECCA, she put a picture of EXACTLY what I wanted with my order, I went back a week later and paid in full and confirmed my order and even called the day before my pick up date and was told everything would be ready. When I arrived the day of the party, I was told by another co-worker that the stand I had ordered OVER A MONTH IN ADVANCE had been double booked and was not available! At that time I was handed wedding cake stands-THIS IS NOT WHAT I ORDERED but at the time I needed to get home and get prepared for the party, so I did not have time to argue. When getting home I noticed the writing on the cake was off centered and the wedding cake stands really DID NOT LOOK GOOD with my cake and cupcakes. This was the centerpiece of my table and it was RUINED, my friend was upset to see that the cake we had picked out from THEIR website and IN STORE ALBUM was NOT what we received. When returning my equipment I mentioned to the employee working that I was not happy with the outcome of my order, I DID NOT GET what we agreed to, she said I was LUCKY they did not have me pay more for the WEDDING STANDS that they let me rent, THEY MADE a mistake and still treated me BADLY. Later I spoke with the Owner DAN and he said they would send me $25 in gift certificates and he promised if he had been there this would not have happened. It has been almost a month since my disappointing party and I NEVER received anything. I WOULD NEVER use this Bake Shoppe again and I am really sorry that I gave them a try. I must say Amazing Cakes by Millie is a much more professional cake shop and I highly recommend them in the future. Even after contacting them 3 times to confirm my order they STILL go it wrong and no one thought it was important to tell me until PICK UP time. This is unacceptable and low budget. I will never go back to this shoppe and everyone at my party feels the same way. DO NOT ORDER ANY SPECIAL EVENT CAKES FROM OUR CAKE SHOPPE!!!!!!!
Drinky_McGee commented on Flavors of fall
I'm afraid that you're too late for that loaf. It has been devoured by the masses. I'm going to be making another one, though. This time featuring chocolate chips.
KeiannaRae commented on Flavors of fall
Ditto, Drinky, everything does taste better this time of year. For the sake of everyone's tastebuds, uhm, I won't be making any delicacies, though. LOL! How about you share that pumpkin bread? I'll even come by and pick some up if you will. Please.
Drinky_McGee commented on Flavors of fall
I made a loaf of apple-cinnamon bread with apples from Anderson Orchard. It was a culinary triumph. Today, I'm making a loaf of pumpkin bread. I am confident that it will also rock. Everything tastes better this time of year.

rb61375 wrote about Granite City Food & Brewery
I have enjoyed GC since it opened approximately 1 year ago. Most of the staff is great. However, I went there for a drink at the bar. The bartender asked what I wanted, and I asked for water, but told him I would get a drink shortly. I sat for 45 minutes and he never returned to ask if I needed anything, no menu, or my drink!! I intentionally waited just to see if he would acknowledge me. To no avail. There were 2 other customers eating / drinking, so it wasn't busy at all. But, there were 3 young ladies at the end of the bar waiting for a table. The waiter was so engrossed in them, that he neglected me. Even worse, he offered drinks to the other 2 customers. Now granted, I was slightly older that the others, but my money is just as good. I am also a big tipper ( I worked in a bar for 4 years) and know that tips were the biggest part of my pay. Maybe he didn't need the money. just wanted the girls. I will not visit GC again.
wallflower11 wrote about Scotty's Brewhouse
I've only been here a couple of times and both times this place has been packed. Lucky for us we had good service -- those poor servers though. They run around a lot, they have so much to do there. It's a wonder that they can hold them selves together. Ask for Kelsey when you go in, she's the best, but I think there's more than one, whatever. Food = pretty good. And hot. Music is way too loud. Slightly overpriced, but what isn't anymore. Next time you're downtown, try it, the drink specials are worth it.
bc21640 wrote about BARcelona Tapas Bar
We have been a few times now. Everyone is always very friendly, the service has been fine and we enjoyed the food. It isn't Tapas in Chicago but it is worth going back for.
bettie13 wrote about Sushi on the Rocks
As restaurant manager, this restaurant features a nice decor, average to below average product, and poor customer service practices. I have been to this restaurant many times. Each time the service was friendly, but overwhelmed resulting in very long wait times, food delivery. i continued to meet friends bc of happy hour specials, which were not respected this visit. according to the OWNER buy one, get one free martinis were per person, not per bill, hhmm. also charged full price on all sushi despite all staff/owner acknowledging we ordered during happy hour. bait and switch, nothing more, beware, Management defensive and hostile, basically charging twice what was on their hand written marquee.
Adrock23 commented on Corner Wine Bar delivers
Just because he notes the owner's name in the article doesn't make it any less credible. Perhaps he introduced himself? The people that own the CWB are great people. Reviewer or not, their guests are made to feel at home. A good review doesn't mean there's anything shady going on, it just means the place is good. I've not eaten dinner there but have been at the Wellington and down in their wine cellar many times- one of my favorite spots. And that cheese crock is amazing.

Its a bit of a dive and I have not had their food but I always have a lot of fun hanging out at this downtown venue.

Antonio and Maria's Old World Pizzeria is not the same as Maria's Pizza, which after 50+ years on Shelby St., is now located at 1106 Prospect in Fountain Square. Antonio and Maria's is now closed (summer 2009)
michellejguinto wrote about Amalfi Ristorante Italiano
Waiters were very pushy and ordered food items for several tables that weren't ordered when there for banquet and kept taking unfinished opened bottles of wine away and opening new bottles thus being charged for all of this! It took forever for main entrees to arrive. They kept pouring on the wine and appetizers beforehand and each person on the average were charged almost 80 dollars per person! I will never go there again! Was very disappointed in the service and overpriced food items!
Writemore commented on Taste what Indy has to offer
The problem with Indy food? Too many chain restaurants. They have crowded out the opportunity for locals which has resulted in a lack of culinary personality. I've lived in several different cities and the chain problem in Indy is out of hand.
