Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in South Indy

We went for my manfriend's birthday. Exactly what I wanted. Something quiet and intimate on a Thursday night. The fireplace was lit and the music was perfect. Our server was very knowledgeable about the new season's menu. Everything looked fantastic, it was hard to choose. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and bottle of wine. I always have such a lovely experience when I come here. Thank you.

Always good food and atmosphere for couples or groups or just sitting alone at bar

The decor is always amazing. It’s like being immersed in a winter wonderland. The chicken velvet soup is the best! Our server was prompt. The portions were plenty so we had to take our cake home. I would highly recommend either the millionaire or red velvet cakes!

Dining here is an experience, not just a meal out. The opportunity to see the DeHahn mansion and artwork and views in the heart of Indianapolis warrants the price. The food was delicious and the wine list is excellent with wines, like Schramsburg, (served at every White Housebinnauguration since Nixon) isnt always easy to find in Indy. It’s not just a meal out. It’s a treat!

Ambrosia has been our favorite restaurant in the entire state of Indiana for 15 years. We always feel like we are in a real city (like Chicago or NYC) when dining at Ambrosia. The menu selections and the food are always excellent. The wine list contains all the wines one needs when eating Italian: barolos, brunellos, amarones, and more. The prices of the food and the wines are amazingly reasonable. One can easily spend twice as much in a comparable restaurant somewhere else. Now comes one of the best parts of our dining experience: our waiter Dave. Dave is a master waiter and he doubles or triples the pleasure of the dining experience.
