    I loved the view from the rooftop. It's a very cool place to hang out with a drink, and the drinks were fantastic. It was a little weird that the menu mentions their "seasonal" cocktails, which included a "Sugar Plum Spritz" and another with pumpkin spice (in May). The chicken buns were delicious -- perfectly crispy with great flavor. The deviled eggs were a bit bland. After hearing about the supposedly amazing truffle fries, I've got to say, I was a little disappointed. They were fine, and I might even order them again, but I've definitely had better. The truffle flavor was there, but not as intense as I was hoping for. I also prefer the thinner, super crispy type of fries. But service was very good, and I enjoyed the overall experience a lot. I'm glad I came and would gladly go back.

    Zen & the Art of Chai

    I recently stayed at the Intercontinental and visited Astrea, their rooftop bar. It was the perfect place to grab a small bite, enjoy a creative cocktail, and unwind after a long day of traveling. I opted for a seat at the bar, and the bartender, Zeke, took great care of us. I order the Zen & the Art of Chai, which includes vanilla-infused vodka, chai tea, pumpkin spice, scotch based heather honey liqueur, oat milk, and grated nutmeg. The drink gave big autumn, holiday season, let's go bake some pies vibes. I also ordered the fries with black truffle aioli, and they did not disappoint. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience from start to end.

    This place is absolutely fabulous! The ambiance and drinks were a 10 out of 10!! We sat at the bar and the bartenders were very attentive and fun to talk to. Food was limited but they do have a few small plates to choose from. We had a Caesar salad and crab ravioli with caviar. They were both delicious! They have lots of outdoor seating and fabulous views. Give this place a try on a nice warm day!

    This is such an awesome space! We came in mid October and the chill was already creeping in. However, the fire pits outside kept us warm with the help of our jackets. We came in the evening and the views of the city were nice, the low glow of the lights on the patio set the vibe. We got an old fashioned and dirty martinis and they were both made really well. The patio has plenty of cozy spots to sit and relax. Our server was also very tentative and welcoming. Such a solid visit!

    I really wanted to love it. Made reservations for my group. When we arrived we were seated outside in the sweltering heat. We asked if we could get inside and were told NO, that was it. Our server did try to make up for it, even brought us a bucket of ice so we could keep our drinks cool as well as ourselves. The food was decent as were the drinks. The star of the evening were the truffle fries. I have to admit they were spectacular. I see others write about the great view... I didn't find it all that great. Plus you really can't see a thing unless you stand up and go directly to the railings, otherwise you see only the rooftops of other buildings. I found this to be an overpriced, one and done experience.

    Awesome rooftop! This place has been a hot commodity all summer, and I totally get why. The rooftop overlooks Monument Circle, offering great views if you peek over the edge. They seemed a little understaffed when I visited, but our service was still excellent. Definitely order the truffle fries! They also have weekly specials, so be sure to check those out. We'll be back, can't wait to see how they decorate for the holiday season! Ps -- To reach the rooftop, press letter B on the screen next to the elevator. That will ring the only elevator that goes to the rooftop on the 11th floor. There's no signage, so we ended up going to the floor of the hotel lobby to ask!

    I'm so glad this place is open. We are definitely adding it to our list of regular spots. Classy and upscale. Luxury without breaking the bank, this lounge is a jewel to the city. For my birthday hubby and I were taking a tour of rooftop lounges downtown and found Astrea. Located in the Intercontinental hotel, on the 11th floor. In my opinion, it was quiet for Saturday night., but I think the weather deterred everybody from going out. They had the outdoor patio closed because of that, but I'll definitely be going back to try it. Peyton, our server was nice and attentive. Although we were only there for beverages, he was on top of everything! Kitchen closes at 10, but I plan on going back and trying some of their shareable bites. I'm loving the vibe there. Stop by for yourself and get a beautiful view of monument circle and surrounding downtown. This definitely won't be out last visit.

    Astrea, my gosh you are THE vibe! My sister and I decided to visit for a girl's night out and everything from the food, the DJ, drinks and let's not get started on the view, just beautiful! We were a little late to our reservation (by 10minutes) and the hostess was not very friendly about it but our server was so sweet, that I forgot about the hostess' attitude. For food, I ordered the oysters Rockefeller and truffle fries both were 10/10. For drinks, the Cava Prosecco & our waitress suggested a Hugo Spritz and it's easily become my new favorite and go-to drink. Overall, I will most certainly be back at Astrea and I hope they have outdoor heaters for the cooler months!

    This rooftop bar is really big. I came downtown with family to check out pop up holiday bars. This wasn't a pop up bar, but it was uniquely decorated for Christmas. They had a special holiday drink menu and we all tried something different. The drinks were ok, the hot drink was sent back because it wasn't hot. My rosemary sprig was smoking a bit, but failed to impart infused smokiness. Our server was very nice and I would come back here in the summer to enjoy the extensive rooftop area and view of the monument circle.

    Sugarplum Spritz

    The Intercontinental is one of my favorite hotels. I really enjoy their bars and restaurants. Astrea is a luxurious bar that offers an amazing ambiance. I chose just to sit at the bar. The bartender was very friendly. I decided to have a cocktail off their seasonal menu. I was so surprised that the seasonal cocktails were only $10. I got the Sugarplum Spritz and it tasted like Christmas in a glass. It was beautiful and delicious. Definitely going to add Astrea as an annual stop for seasonal cocktails.

    My friends and I wanted to check out Astrea for drinks and rooftop views. Unfortunately, our reservation didn't indicate outdoor seating, so we started inside but were eventually able to take some photos near the empty tables outside. Depending on where you sit, the view of the city can vary, and some spots don't offer the best angle. As for the drinks, they were fine but nothing spectacular. Menu is definitely on the pricey side.

    Truffle fries - incredible!
    Erin D.

    Our experience was top notch and I can't wait to go back! We stopped by randomly on a Sunday when they weren't busy and were lucky to find a relaxed, yet lively atmosphere. The staff were friendly and engaged with providing a great experience. We both loved our cocktails and devoured the truffle fries. Everything seemed to have a little extra special touch- from the branded ice and cocktail garnishes to the fancy furniture and everything in between. The views are amazing and would be even better with the windows open in the summer. FYI - they have a DJ on Fridays and Saturdays, so I've heard that the vibe is a little different and busier on those days.

    If you like roof tops, classy drinks and shareable dishes this is a great spot for that. Service is great they literally are always coming back at the right moment. I recommend the old fashion, manhattan and an espresso martini to finish you off. Views are great, def request to be inside if it's the middle of the day, but at night this place is a dime to sit outside.

Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in awhile.

I will cut some slack on the service, however - I arrives after what seems to have been a very atypical rush of Journey fans who inundated the place before heading to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The staff seemed a bit rundown and slap happy - not really attentive to the bar where I sat. I waited a bit long before I was greeted with a menu, waited awhile with an empty glass, waited with my food pushed away before it was cleared. No one asked if everything was okay even though most of my food was untouched. The food... my salad (house greens) was a great little salad! I say this despite finding a hair on the plate when I was about 2/3 through. My mussels and fries were not great. The fries were mid - they tasted kind of overdone or as if the oil were old. The mussels were actively bad. The portion (an app) was pretty small. There was hardly any broth/wine and they weren't piping hot. Also, they were actually not tasty and the texture was rubbery. They remained in front of me, uncleared, even after I closed my tab. They did not smell good. I don't anticipate being sick but I do anticipate being hungry.

We were greeted right away and looked over the menu a bit before ordering. My husband ordered the country breakfast with chicken (definitely the way to go) and I ordered the cheesy jalapeño grits with bacon. We each got a cup for water and I ordered a coffee, excited because I saw ahead of going that it was self-serve (like at Cafe Patachou where I can get as many coffees as I like without having to wait for our server to come check on us first). However, the self serve coffee excitement was short-lived after seeing that they only offered half and half as creamer (I'm lactose intolerant) and the two coffee carafes were not labeled for what was inside (decaf? medium roast? you'll never know!) and then one was completely empty and never refilled during our visit. The water station also was not ever refilled during our visit, so we were not able to get refills after filling up our cups the first time. It took a couple of tries to find a table we could sit at because you seat yourself, but several had not been cleaned after other guests left and had food and drinks spilled on them. There were definitely enough staff members there to be able to clean them in between customers, so we weren't sure why they were left that way. We ended up sitting in the middle of the room towards the front, across from the clown art wall, which made for interesting conversation as we looked through everything. When the food came out I was impressed with the portions, but I had no flavor whatsoever to my cheesy jalepeno grits. The egg and bacon were good, but not enough to make it a good dish and I would not order it again. And I love savory breakfast and grits in general, so it was a real bummer. My husband's dish was worth the visit though. It was a huge portion size and we honestly would just split it if we came back and ordered it. It was so savory, seasoned perfectly, and juicy. One of the best breakfast dishes I have tried recently! I really debated between 3-4 stars for this, but my dish was a flop, the lack of cleanliness for the seating area, the lackluster self-serve coffee station, and not refilling the beverages ultimately scored a 3 star review for me. I would come back and try something else though, or split the country chicken breakfast because it was really good. Hopefully next time the beverages won't be empty!
