Best Wine Bars in Broad Ripple / Meridian - Kessler

I write a review everytime I visit Seasons52. This was the first time in a while we had a very short wait (totally worth the 10 minute wait. The staff is always so pleasant, kind, and communicative. I find this is a trait that many dine in establishments are running short on. After being seated our server came over to take our drink order and let us know they would be back shortly. It’s very apparent that tonight they were fully booked based on no empty tables anywhere - but also fully staffed. I worked in restaurants most of my teens and twenties and I know how difficult it can be to balance front and back of the house while maintaining service, food times, and quality. Seasons52 just never disappoints. Our server Tysen was top notch and checked in just the right amount. Nothing can be more obnoxious than an overbearing (or neglectful) server. Tysen hit the mark! Another thing to note is that the kitchen is open - it always interesting to see how hard and quick the back of the house works - kudos to them as well. They aren’t seen most of the time so I think it’s important to recognize that the amount of food and coordination I saw in the expo was incredible. All this to say - I’ll definitely be back as this is our favorite dependable, go-to for our monthly date nights. Thanks Seasons52 staff!

Really just an amazing evening and meal. Top notch food and the service was impeccable

Another great evening at Diavola. Thsnk you, Fiona, for wonderful service. Brought friends who had never been there before. They loved it too!

Great evening meal and drinks at Cooper’s Hawk. Their food was outstanding - the medallions always cooked perfectly with the 3 crusts. The Ahi tuna appetizer was also phenomenal. Free tastings followed by glass purchase was the perfect amount and enjoyed trying different wines before deciding.

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
