    a bowl of salad and french fries
    Betsy A.

    Suffice it to say that my experience at Chancellor's was quite the opposite of Holly H.'s, but then I was there during lunch. I also like the soothing, neutral-toned decor. I recently took a position at one of the large entities near the IUPUI campus and I really need a place like this to escape to once in a while....everything else in walking distance from work is a chain or fast-food place. The staff was fine, especially my server and the hostess. But, there was at least one male server who was kind of lurking about the dining room...I pretty attributed that to his not having had a table of his own at the time; it was early in the lunch hour when I stopped by. My food was very good, but I wish my entree - the Asian Salad with seared Ahi - would have had more slices of tuna on it...only four was very disappointing for the price and also hard to spread out for enjoyment with the massive amount of greens and other salad ingredients. The fresh-baked bread was very good and consisted for three "breads of the day": pretzel, fried biscuit and whole grain, accompanied by stone-ground mustard-flavored butter, apple butter and plain 'ole butter. I demolished the biscuit with some apple butter and ate about half the pretzel bread roll with the mustard butter....and I normally don't care for fried biscuits at all. I would definitely go back some time, but unless I can get more tuna with my Asian salad, I would not repeat that menu choice. Also, I may opt for the more casual, bar & grill side of this restaurant..I think it's called Our Den? It looked bright, cheery and I'm guessing has a cheaper, less fancy menu. Also, my table was situated close to the server's work area between dining room and kitchen, so I was the unfortunate passive eavesdropper on all the staff's "behind the scenes" goings-on, which detracted somewhat from my "relaxing" lunch. Again, probably because the servers had too much time on their hands....

    For the over 21 students at IUPUI, Chancellors is the place to be. The atmosphere is simple yet refined with bright lighting and an old-school bar kind of feel. Professional and students come to this watering hole for food and drinks or just to escape the food court. There is a bar to sit at as well as table dining (I recommend the bar) and there are multiple televisions for those who want to catch a big game. It is also worth noting that this is the only on-campus restaurant that serves adult beverages. Having a place on campus to just relax with a beer and study is superb. You do not have to be 21 to eat there, but you do have to be 21 to sit at the bar. I stopped in at 5:15 on a Tuesday and at that point half of the tables had been taken. I decided to sit at the bar where there were also three persons sitting. That day Chancellors must have been understaffed because in addition to managing the bar, the bar tender was also serving tables with 1 other server. Even with the increased workload, the bartender was able to serve me promptly and take my order. My service at the bar was good and I'm not sure if I could say the same had I sat at a table. The interesting fact about Chancellors is that they share a kitchen with another (larger) eatery and the two largely share the same menu. I ate rather simply and just ordered a burger since I needed to make sure I was at my 6:00 class. The party of three next to me did order mac & cheese that looked amazing though. The food was good but nothing to really write home about. I think that's because I got opted for speed rather than sitting and enjoying a meal. Next time I will order something that isn't as generic as a burger and fries. Overall, this is a nice place to stop and get a bite on campus and I plan on returning. (especially on $2.50 domestic Tuesdays)

    Chancellors is a restaurant located on the campus of IUPUI. It is operated through the company Chartwells. It is open to the public and is actually a pretty fancy restaurant. I have been here a few times and ordered a variety of food. I have had the portabella burger, chicken sandwich and one of their salads. The burgers come with fries which are good. The portion sizes are large and the prices are reasonable. They have tables and a bar area. Surprisingly the restaurant serves alcohol on campus. Parking can be difficult if you aren't associated with IUPUI, but there is a nearby parking garage that charges by the hour.

I did see they allow you to make reservations on Open Table, so I booked it for a weekday to try it out. It wasn't nearly as busy as the parking lot looked, there was plenty of seating. It was a nice day so they had the windows open and they also had someone playing live music so it was a tad loud but, not overly loud where you can't hear your conversation. The menu is not your typical menu, it's very crafty if that's a word. The service was very good, and she explained the menu well and we took her up on her recommendations. Turkey pastrami which I had never had before. It tastes really fresh and felt healthy. The salad comes in a little small bowl but full of goodness. It's a really nice place for a girls night out, or a family dinner. Wouldn't consider it a good place for date night as it is pretty loud.

Upon entering I noticed how cute the decor was and how open it was. The kitchen is even behind glass so you can see most of it from your table. This place would be awesome for groups. The servers wear whatever makes them comfortable and fits their style which is a nice touch to the theme. But where the home runs were was the food. We had a hard time deciding on an appetizer as they all sounded so good. We went with the wagyu pigs in a blanket. They are cooked perfectly and seasoned well and juicy. I got the chicken katsu sandwich on Japanese milk bread and o my gosh it was so flavorful and I like anything else you can find around. The breading is light and not overly crunchy. I still think about that sandwich. Hubby ordered the short ribs and he said they were flavorful and tender and juicy. I can't express how amazing the food is here. You just have to give it a try. It's worth it.

Although the weather was beautiful, indoors was my choice. Al fresco dining is not my first choice. I don't like to do battle over my meal with insects and other wild life. I deducted 1 star for red wine served at room temperature. How is it that, red wines are chilled (55F) on the west coast but served at 'room temperature' (72F, 82F...) on the east coast. Had two dishes, they were OK, service was ok Would I go back? Yes, if the red wine was chilled.

Started with the cauliflower steak- curry with saffron rice with potatoes and a pomegranate molasses along with the brightness of cilantro and mint. This is listed as a large plate, but we chose it as our starter. Hubs had the pork belly and by how quickly it disappeared, he definitely enjoyed it! I was torn on what to choose, but ended up with the shrimp étouffée and so glad I did! The sauce was divine and the apple chutney added a surprisingly wonderful addition. Dessert? Of course! Banana pudding for the hubs and I had the apple cider whoopie pie. This thing was giant! I tasted the banana pudding and it was good. I might have stolen some whip cream to taste with the whoopie pie and honestly- five five stars.

It's a very small kitchen where all the action happens, which is very impressive for a restaurant their size. Very knowledgeable staff and servers described all the ingredients and notes of flavor to look for in the dishes very well. Most ingredients were locally sourced and staff highlighted the importance of souring fresh local ingredients with every dish. Everyone form the hostess to the bartender and bus boy were friendly and welcoming. definitely 5* for service. The menu is a mix of several cuisines from Korean to Italian and even some French with a twist. The menu has great vegetarian options. Unfortunately the chef's tasting menu wasn't available as my reservation was made same day, but I decided to go with the two specials of the day. Dinner kicked off with a shot of Champaign on the house They like welcoming their guests that way. Water kept being refilled immediately. The staff again was very attentive. As an appetizer I went with the Scallops crudo with house made berry vinegar. The crudo was a healthy serving of scallops. Crispy raw carrots and radish provide some texture, while greens including endive provided some bitterness. This dish was a bit heavy on pepper and bitterness from the endives and could use some acidity to balance it out. Scallops were not as sweet as I was expecting. A bit more of the homemade raspberry vinagrette would have been perfect. The dark blue ring caused by the marination process would have shown more on a different color serving plate instead of a black bowl. For the main course I ordered the Beet linguini with sea bass. Interesting take on linguini Pickled rhubarb, rainbow radishes, fresh dill and a 'beet marinara' sauce reminded me of borscht. Unfortunately the linguini was overcooked and soaked up a lot of the butter and sauce. The pickled rhubarb provided a break from the heaviness of the dish but overall the dish lacked brightness. Sea bass was perfectly cooked. Seared and crusted with salt and pepper on one side, simple. Well executed but nothing special. For dessert I went with the Strawberry dacquoise which was delicious. The white chocolate bark with pink peppercorn stole the show. It should be layered inside the dessert! I wanted more of it. This dessert was not overly sweet. it was a great mix of pistachios and strawberry and fluffy cake. Gelee was a bit too dense but otherwise fantastic end to a good meal.

Called at 6 and got a reservation for 8, for 5 of us on a Saturday night. This is kind of an anomaly for any restaurants off Mass Ave. We were seated right away and started with drinks and apps. We got "Disco Boys" and "I'm too pretty for this" cocktails which were tasty - kudos for the fun cocktail names. Calamari, Artisan, and Charcuterie came shortly after. There's a few different options of cheeses and meats, it's sort of a choose your own adventure situation. All were good, especially the calamari. A lot of restaurants tend to overcook it and the calamari gets rubbery, not the case here. Our entrees came out next and I made sure to try a bite of everyone's LOL. The standout of all the entrees was definitely the "Duck, duck" which was, obviously, duck. The runner up would definitely have to be the chicken cacciatore.
