Best Seasonal Restaurants in South Indy

Root & Bone is always excellent! The food and drinks are consistently created and served with care, and the service is top-notch (including Lindsey on our latest trip!). We've been to dinner and brunch several times, and it has become one of our neighborhood favorites.

The Meridian has a neighborhood feel but with class. The ambiance is good for celebratory dinners for a group or an intimate dinner for two. You can expect to be attended to. The reception is warm. And you feel safe in the space and not rushed. Catlin was our server and she was exceptional! What I enjoy most is if you have special dietary needs, they listen and accommodate as best they can, which in my experience has proven to be above my expectations. I would recommend The Meridian to my friends.

This was hands down the most memorable and unique dining experience I have had. I brought my girls, and they were just in awe. If we make it back to Indy, we will absolutely return. Our waitress was so sweet and attentive and really made sure to engage with the girls to make their lunch special. Highly recommend the Baked Fontina Cheese to start, Sparkling Lavender Lemonade, and do not miss the opportunity to try their world-class desserts. Thanks to The Cake Bake Shop for an experience my girls and I will never forget.

The everything crusted Salmon was excellent! Service was great. Only not so good was the noise level.

Party of 5, Great Meal! Had Burrata toast & meatballs as apps (work well together) and we each ordered a pizza (mine was Hammaker + jowl bacon+ red peppers) and we all loved them with most taking 1/2 home. Pro-tip, although we ate in the wine bar (21+) side. Only 3 red wines were on the menu, all being $50 plus bottles. The "family" side had much more and much cheaper wine selection. (got a great $25 bottle of Nero d'Avola on that side). I find it annoying that I had to go over to that side and then ask for bottle pricing but our server appeared at my side and was most helpful. Still, I wonder why this set up exists. We were there Saturday 11/16
