- NNikkiIndiana •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoFrom the moment we walked in, to the time we left, everything was perfection. The ambiance is incredible. The beautiful lighting, big windows looking out onto the city, the comfortable leather booth seating, and striking decor- everything around us felt special. The drinks were spot on, with a unique espresso martini. And the food, WOW! Everyone’s meal was phenomenal. My pork chop was perfectly prepared, my husband had the lamb and gave it a 10/10. Our friends had the dry aged Ribeye and Chicken dish and they were both impressed. Our server Ben never missed a beat and helped guide us through the menu. I highly recommend dining at Commission Row as soon and as often as you can! Oh, and don’t forget to stop downstairs at Mel’s Speakeasy for a drink! Such a cool and swanky vibe down there with an eclectic list of drinks to choose from!More infoCommission RowPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Downtown Indy•4.8

- AAlexVIPIndiana •78 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFirst time eating here. Party of two. An overall very pleasant surprise. Service was fantastic and the food was outstanding. While they have a limited menu for a Mexican restaurant, everything that we ate was super, and everything that we saw go by, looked really good.  They don’t play traditional Mexican music, but opt for more pop style music, which can be a bit annoying. We did not like the layout or the numerous small 2-top tables that they have. The 2-tops are so small, there’s hardly room for your food when it arrives. Too crowded. With all that said, we would go back. PS. - the $17 margarita was quite small for the price tag, but it was tasty. More infoNada - IndianapolisPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Mexican• Downtown Indy•4.6
- BBrandiIndiana •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoI made reservations since it was a larger party,10 people. I was pleased that they called to confirm our reservations and to see if we needed any additional accommodations. Our table was ready before our time and we were seated early. The service was excellent, our food arrived in a timely manner and he was very attentive to our table among his other tables. Highly recommended!More infoWeber Grill - IndianapolisPrice: Moderate• American• Downtown Indy•4.5
