    Extensive and varied wine and cocktail list
    Jorge A.

    Let's start by saying this one the best Thai restaurant I been too. The food was spot on !! The flavors , the portions and the variety was great. We tried the Mango and lobster roll; delicious. We initiated the evening with a bottle of champagne, Pol Roger, priced appropriately, and very delicious. The service was friendly and over all acceptable. The only negative comment I can make is about the hostess; she was alof and couldn't be bothered attitude. When she sat us she didn't even wait for us to reach the table before she was gone. I guess her cell is more important than the customers

    Our family loves Asparagus. The light, open dining areas create a sense of elegance while the food and service are top notch. Our group ordered Parmesan chicken tempura, Five Spiced Duck, and Pineapple Cashew Stir Fry. All meals were cooked to perfection. The portions are always generous as well. Cannot say enough about how great the meal was.

    I really really love this place. A gem within Merrillville... The interior is so nicely done. The service was top notch. Great recommendations from our server. He hit the target every time. So personable and funny. The food... delicious. It is a bit on the pricey side but I'm always willing to pay top dollar for great food. Especially if the service is to match. There is a lot for parking.

    Hibiscus Margarita

    Amazing service!! Huge rice and noodles portions! Chicken Pad Rice and Chicken Pad Thai were both flavorful and delicious! Salmon egg rolls were 7/10. Hibiscus Margarita was delicious with a perfect amount of sweetness. The layout of the restaurant was a bit odd but I think it works for noise reduction. Otherwise it had a classy touch. Definitely going back to try other menu items!

    Signature Asparagus Delight

    I came here to celebrate my sister's birthday. It's about an hour drive from the Chicago area. Parking was spacious. It's an upscale Asian restaurant so yes you'll see some items are overpriced compared to the prices at regular Chinese restaurants. We ordered 3 appetizers - seafood rolls, duo cargot, young mountain lamb chops. We ordered 2 entrees - "to die for" pork shank and signature delight. Overall 3.5/5. One time is enough. Service was mid. -seafood rolls - while it is very tasty and crispy, $14 doesn't justify 4 small pieces. For the price you should be able to have 6-8 on the plate. -duo cargot 4/5 - I did enjoy the sauce, shrimp, and escargot on top of the bread. It was delicious. There should be another piece of bread on the plate. -young mountain lamb - this is not worth $22. Pieces are too small and it could have been tender. You need to cook lamb medium rare, this was about medium. -"to die for" pork shank 5/5 - pork belly, pork shank, and egg are cooked beautifully. Taste was phenomenal. Meat was succulent especially when you get further into the pork shank. Taste great with rice. Portion was big -signature delight 5/5 - huge portion for $60. Lobster tail, sea scallops, and shrimp were all present in the dish. Vegetables were fresh and well seasoned.

    My father's cake that Asparagus knew we were bringing and would not provide plates/utensils for us to enjoy during dinner.

    November 7th was my father's 80th birthday and although I attempted to make a reservation with event planner Kate Witte in September, I was unaware that I needed to make a down payment by October 17th in order to secure the room as she mentioned the day would not be very busy because it was a Thursday afternoon. I never heard back from her that I might lose the booking or how the process worked. Nevertheless, due to the fact that my father is blind he is not completely comfortable going out to eat these days but decided last minute to go. So I called thinking we still had the reservation. The manager could not find it but it wasn't a big deal because we only had a party of five. However, I mentioned that we were a cake to celebrate his 80th birthday. She said this would not be a problem but they just couldn't store it in the freezer and they would give us a larger table to accommodate the cake. When we arrived we were given a round table that barely fit the cake and our party. My mother was very upset. The manager explained that she spoke to me about the arrangements for the cake. This was not what I had in mind and I did tell her that our reservation was not booked for the private room. I did not know until later that evening about the down payment so I showed the manager the email documenting the conversation with Kate Witte. After some time the team did make new accommodations for our group putting together two tables so the cake could sit out on the end of a long table. The restaurant was very busy that night and the service was poor. Our waiter was not very attentive and my mother's order was forgotten when the main meal came out. We were comped for her meal. The food was also lackluster and no one really enjoyed their meals. We had to ask for to-go containers. My major problem was when I asked for small plates and a knife to cut the cake. The manager that knew I was bringing a cake for my father's 80th birthday told me they did not provide plates and knives for that type of service. I was very upset and asked her why did she not tell me this knowing I was bringing a cake for a man celebrating his 80th birthday. She explained that they used to charge fees but did not even attempt to rectify the situation and said I would need to call Kate. We waited a very long time expecting that we could just get some extra plates and a knife and did not even expect the staff to cut the cake on our behalf. Had we known we would not have brought the cake and it was clearly communicated to this manager. The cake was sitting out there entire time so it was obvious that we would need utensils that were not present. I feel like the manager did not care and I understand the team was busy but this is one of my family's favorite restaurants. My father even received a gift card to the restaurant for his birthday that they will not be using and they have been patrons for over a decade and spent lots of money over the years. We will not be back and Asparagus ruined my father's milestone celebration with indifference and neglect. My mother is sad and depressed today and we have to have a do over at their house and we could have kept our original plans and not spent north of $300 on poor service and low quality food and just stayed at home.

    Wow, just wow. I came here on business and upon my first night I found myself hungry. Being new to the area I went exploring, and I found this place. After walking inside I was impressed, very up scale and nice inside, also very quiet (which I like). I ordered the Pad See Eiwit was very good, and I even had some leftover to take to the hotel with me. The service was excellent, timely, and most of all accurate. I would definitely visit again if I find myself in the area as this visit was very, very, pleasant.

    Sesame Stir Fry with Chicken

    Food was great, but service was poor. We never saw the server after she served our food, so when finished eating, we had to find her to ask for the check. She was seated at the reception area on her phone. Also very poor music playing in the background. The poor service and horrible music eclipsed the excellent quality of the food.

    I ordered the Red Snapper and it was soggy and not much meat on the fish bone. Not worth the $55 I paid for. Very disappointed

    Cauliflower baos were awesome. Service was great and fast…read more I had the Ramon noodles with Brussel sprouts, onions, corn and pork bellies. Sooo tasty!!

    I love the beer here, especially if they're hazy beer. Four out of five stars for the beer. We…read moregot the happy hour pricing for the beer since it was between three and 5 o'clock. I ordered the Smashburger because the server told me it was the best burger in town. It may have been the best burger in town because I have nothing to compare it to, but it was not good. It was the special for the day. It was $15 for the burger and fries. I ordered it without onions. It came with a lot of shredded lettuce and sauce between the bottom bun and the burger. I was not a fan of the amount of sauce that came with this burger. The burger itself did not have any flavor. It looked like there was some pepper in the meat, but I could not taste anything. The brioche bun disintegrated in my mouth after each bite. My experience with a bun like this is it was either frozen or it is stale. Not sure why the bun was bad since it was their special that day. I chose poorly with a burger. Every other time I went, I got the Yakisoba noodles with short rib ribs. The noodles with the short ribs are the best in town and probably the best in Northwest Indiana.
