Best Date Night Restaurants in Franklin Township

From 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!

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!

Eli took great care of us. He took time to recommend tips on our order which turned out he made the right call. We both had steaks cooked to perfection. Bread pudding could serve a small family. Service, atmosphere and food were amazing. Will be back

I came here for the first time to celebrate Valentine’s Day. We both enjoyed our food and drinks. The first drink they brought my partner was a specialty V-Day drink that he didn’t care for, but our server quickly removed it and brought out another drink he ordered with no problem. The service was amazing. I. Recommend you try the 16oz ribeye with the mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The crab dip starter was good as well. The whole experience was a 10/10.

This was our first time visiting Salt. It was much more spacious inside than I thought it would be, yet still felt comfortable & warm due to having different seating areas vs one big open room. We really liked the lighting and the decor, there was music in the background that wasn’t too overwhelming yet still made it feel like a fun Friday night.  The ambiance alone makes me excited to dine there again. My daughter and I shared four appetizers and liked each one. Our favorite was the poke … beautiful presentation, and the rice underneath was addictive. The only preference I would have next time is no Sriracha mayo drizzled on it, instead just a little of that caramel soy they put under the rice. The calamari was nice and crunchy … it had good flavor on its own, but the dipping sauce was also good.  The spicy tuna roll was nice & fresh, lovely presentation. Our least favorite of the four were the dumplings. They were really good, but didn’t need to be served in the citrus chile sauce. Maybe just squeeze a bit of it over the dumplings versus filling the bottom of the dish with it? Every dish that went by us to other tables looked amazing.  Next time I’m excited to try the oysters Rockefeller and lamb lollipops, plus the skillet bread.
