    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!

    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.

    Our dinner and drinks were outstanding. I had the fried chicken and my husband had the ribs. The portion sizes were just right. We both had the Daisy Mae tequila drink and shared the Banana Creme Brulee. Highly recommend!

    Great experience. The staff is very friendly and fun, and the whole environment feels like a theme park experience. The cakes are delicious, so while the prices are high, you get what you pay for, and it's definitely worth it for a special occasion or if you just need the best piece of cake you could possibly get. This location is a bit small and cramped, but it's still decorated very thoughtfully and pretty; the ambiance and theming is excellent. I recommend the Raspberry Champaign Cake and the Carrot Cake, but I don't think you can miss. Oh, and the Coconut Latte blew my mind, if you like coconut and espresso!
