We’ve been to Courses a number of times, mostly with friends. Today we introduced new friends to the dining experience. They thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. The service was great as was the food. It’s a joy to support our local culinary program. We plan to return as often as we can.

I love coming here for lunch. But more importantly, I love bringing new people and showing them a new place for a great meal, but also a hidden gemin downtown Indianapolis.

Wwe had an excellent server who graduates in December. She was very engaging and polished. Our food was well seasoned and well-presented. Overall, a delightful experience. We continue to wish we had survey cards to fill out for each dish presented. It would be such helpful feedback for the students.

If you haven’t discovered this little gem, you truly must. Food is prepared by the culinary students while you are taken care of by Ivy Tech’s hospitality students. The menu changes and is generally limited to four choices depending on the cuisine focus. We have always found the food to be excellent. The hospitality students do not seem quite prepared to interact with their dining customers so try to engage them. My one suggestion would be to have diners fill out a comment card on things that were great and things that could be improved. Feedback is always important in the learning process. What a great gem in our city and the view is the best.

The food was impeccable and view is amazing. The students are learning how to be great servers but it will take time for them to understand how to deliver top tier service but they are kind and try really hard. There was a long strand of hair on the plate when I sat down. The waitress saw it and took it off the plate but did not change the plate. She did once I made the request. Allow for grace and tip well and you will have an awesome time. You can't beat the value.
