About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions

Guests can indulge in timeless fare, including pickled relish trays, richly flavorful prime rib, classic side dishes, and house-made desserts, paired with strong cocktails and a well-curated wine list. The stunning space features velvet banquettes, glowing chandeliers, and a reel-to-reel machine that evokes a sense of nostalgia.

    We enjoyed every minute of our experience at the Fountain Room. Our server was well trained and did a great job helping us choose drinks and food based on our tastes. The ambience is unmatched. Loved the decor and the whimsical wallpaper in the bathrooms. The booths placed next to the large windows provide a great opportunity for people watching in this flourishing neighborhood. The food was delicous! We started with the guacamole and Brie. My kids loved the Brie so much I had to stop them from licking the serving platter. The prime rib and filet were cooked perfectly. The potato casserole and Brussels sprouts were amazing. Best Brussel sprouts we’ve ever had. My son thoroughly enjoyed the pork chop and said the glaze was the best thing he ever tasted. My daughter’s fried chicken was cooked to perfection and the gravy accommodating it was so tasty . We intended to try dessert but we were so full, we couldn’t even attempt it! Don’t miss this Indianapolis gem if you have a chance to visit. It’s great for families and we’ll be back next time we visit.

    We had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary. I’d made a note when I made the reservation it was an anniversary & they gave us a card and dessert in the house ❤️. The food was fabulous, the perfect portion size, server was friendly, efficient & did a fabulous job. We will be back!

    Entrees and desserts were outstanding. Our waitress, who was very attentive, made our daughter's birthday something special by bringing out a free dessert--after we had split a slice of chocolate cake, with three smaller pieces on three separate plates--better than one slice and 3 spoons. We were a little disappointed that the brie appetizer tasted more like cream cheese, and our daughter couldn't detect a couple ingredients she was expecting in her gin martini--but these are minor issues. The scallops and the pork chop were excellent.

    We are delighted to hear about your daughter's special birthday celebration. Thank you for highlighting our waitress's attentiveness and the excellence of our scallops and pork chop.

    The ambiance was lovely. Very old timey, great bar area and truly lovely decor and design. The issue was the food. The filet comes with nothing. It would be better if the side dish comes with the entree. The server had another person drop them off and said don't worry you won't be charged twice. Ok why would I be charge twice for a side dish I received halfway thru my meal. Had to wait too long for a beverage refill. When my wine arrived, the server said it would be removed from the bill. Oy. It was not removed from the bill. The server then said she asked for another check, and it was coming. ?? Is it me?? Why would you knowingly bring me the wrong check. Had to ask for everything. Just not worth the $$. Nothing was horrible. The server was lovely, just slow on the move and inattentive.

    Everything was excellent! We all enjoyed our food and our server was great. I find the decor very beautiful. The atmosphere was lively but pleasant on a Sunday morning. The brunch menu has something for everyone and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. Our table had the French Toast and Shrimp & Grits. I will definitely come again for brunch to try some other items.

    Hyped restaurant, disappointed with execution. The service was slow; I had let the restaurant know it was my wife's birthday at the time of booking, which was acknowledged when the waiter came to our table. We ordered a dessert, which he initially said would have a candle, but it was forgotten. When I asked, he said he had forgotten and there was nothing he could do at that point. The waiter was disengaged and just rushed us through like cattle. For the price paid, I would expect more. Not a great birthday choice.

    We sincerely apologize for disappointing you on such a special occasion. Your feedback will help us to address this with our staff to ensure proper execution of our service standards. While I know we cannot give you back that special night you were hoping for, I would like to offer you a gift card in hopes you could give us another try sometime. Please call me at 463-238-3800 to discuss and get the details to send the card. -Katie Forman, General Manager

    Manager was an absolute tool. Yells at me for not having a reservation and how dare I just walk in on race weekend. Only problem was I did, and had checked in with the hostess. Moron.

    I can not express how much we enjoyed our experience. From the time we walked in we were greeted by a fabulous staff. Our server, Zach, was nothing short of incredible. Our party had a variety of options from the menu, the pork chops, hanger steak and the grilled chicken and all would be recommended.
