The parking is kind of iffy - there's a gravel lot next to it and it could use a little upkeep.

I didn't know this space was here and am curious what else they might have here so I'd definitely come back to another event.

Admittedly, the area is somewhat dilapdated with old industrial buildings, but they are starting off on the right foot with The Cradle. The Cradle at Monon 30 is meant to be an art/culture and culinary hub. They used the industrial backdrop and turned it on its head. They used cargo containers to build a performance stage and food booths. The venue is made more inviting by using bright colors and live plants. There are canopys and umbrellas for shade, and toward the back there is a game area. Several food vendors are usually on-site, and they just received a license to serve cocktails in addition to beer and wine. For the last few weekends, there have been live music of different genres. There are some seating in front of the stage, but really you can enjoy the sounds from anywhere. You are welcomed to take a seat or meander around the venue as you see fit. Monon 30 is such an unexpected place in a neighborhood you are probably not accustomed to. Don't let the zip code deter you and check it out yourself. The Cradle is just a first step, and I am curious to see how the rest of Monon 30 unfolds.

Happy #ThankYouThursday Yelp friends! If you've ever been curious about the nicely redone building…read moreslightly off of 46th Street and Keystone, this is it. It's a co-working space for driven local businesses, many of them being home services businesses. The owner of the space also owns Homesense Heating & Cooling (also loved on Yelp) and is an incredible person. He also lets The District Church use the space on Sundays. I love how multi-purpose and helpful the space is. Black Circle Brewing and Elena Ruz Cuban Cuisine are also located in the building, but on the back of the co-working space. CO-WORKING SPACE: The co-working space is nice and recently renovated. They offer 24/7 access, a complimentary mailbox, local coffee, networking events, business improvement seminars, conference rooms, and secure shipping/receiving for members of the space. You can rent anything from a local to a small or large office, to an entire floor. Their different packages are on their website! EVENT SPACE: The great space is also open to non-members to rent as well. We had a cocktail and painting class event here and loved using the multiple spaces. We had the cocktail class and catering set up in the beautiful kitchen, and used the multi-purpose room for the painting class. The owner Brian was super nice and helped us set up a few extra tables. They also have their different event space prices on their website too. The owner is so awesome, so this is definitely a place I love to support! They also do so much good for local businesses and the community, so def. check it out if you're looking for a space!

Their pet policy was very reasonable! ($25 per stay at the time of our visit) The ambiance of the hotel itself was so unique. It merged the vintage and modern themes of the area. Our kid wanted to eat at the coffee shop downstairs both mornings, but we wanted to venture out to support other businesses. The proximity to so many food and local small town businesses made us want to extend our trip! We rarely had to utilize our vehicle parked easily in the parking garage across the street. The staff was very quick to attend to our needs when we requested bedding for the loveseat (4-year-old's bed) and ice for our water jugs. HIGHLY recommend.

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.

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.
