    Lump crab hush puppies
    Christina G.

    I've stayed here at the Marriott several times but this was the first time I ate at Connor's kitchen. The Service and food were excellent! I dined during lunch service so I ordered off of the lunch menu. My server was Andrew and he was super attentive. I immediately ordered the lump crab hush puppies and they were delicious, I definitely recommend! I also ordered the wagyu Burger in my goodness, It was worth every calorie! I really like that they toast the bun and the cheese was cheesin!!! I look forward to trying other things off of the menu as well as the dinner menu.

    We stopped in to Conner's while in Indianapolis for a multi day conference. It is very near the capital building and the convention center in the downtown area. What I really liked about it is there is a large and very comfortable covered patio in the front facing the street. This was great to gather upon, during the waning hours of the day with colleagues to review all the things that had taken place. Fantastic menu with handcrafted cocktails, and delicious shareable appetizers. I did review the menu but didn't have a regular meal at Conners. Everything looked well prepared on the other guest tables. It is not standard pub food, instead it is several notches up. All in all, I would say that this is a fantastic place to unwind at the end of the day with friends or coworkers.

    Lemon Buttermilk Pancakes

    My first visit here, for Sunday brunch. There were only a few diners here when we arrived. The Colts were playing in Berlin at 9:30 am, and we thought it would be a good opportunity to watch the game while enjoying brunch. We ordered a few brunch entrées to share. The lemon buttermilk pancakes were doughy and undercooked in the middle. The edges were good. My friend ordered eggs, potatoes, and bacon. My favorite was the roasted potatoes. They were nicely seasoned and perfectly roasted. Our server was rather indifferent and seemed to be annoyed. Not annoyed with us but just seemed to be annoyed in general. Maybe he was just having a bad morning, but the service was not what I had expected to experience. The restaurant is attractive and we were able to see several tvs easily so we could watch the Colts game. We stayed for the first half while we were eating brunch then left for another nearby bar to watch the second half.

    My family and I came here on a Saturday for brunch. We wish there more lunch options available on the menu. The food was pretty good, but I expected better just because of all the high Google reviews. We ordered the crab hush puppies which had a generous amount of crab in them and paired really well with the dipping sauce. My husband and dad got the wagyu burger which came with a generous amount of fries and you could add an egg or thick slice of bacon for extra cost. The shrimp and grits had a nice spicy flavor to them. The main item that was disappointing to me was the fish tacos. The fish was not seasoned well and was pretty flavorless with the other taco toppings. Service was friendly and efficient. Our waitress came over to check on us pretty regularly. Bathrooms were clean and all the booths were incredibly spacious. You can definitely come here with larger parties pretty comfortably. The food was a bit on the pricey side.

    My group of 6 visited on a Wednesday night. We had 6:30p reservations, but this large restaurant was fairly empty. Earlier in the day our team mate dialed to change our reservation from 5 people to 6 and was asked if we'd be paying with one check for the larger party. Odd. Visually the restaurant makes a nice first impression with its tall ceiling, bar, and lighting. Good thing I took in the initial scene because we were sat in a corner of the room and I stared at the wall for the remainder of the night. Most of our group ordered old fashioned cocktails and the Waygu cheeseburger with fries. Other than the burger standing tall, nothing stood out about either item. After eating hotel food for 3 days you'd think this burger would've been the star of the week. Our server was friendly and our food arrived quickly. However, nothing kept us there for another round of drinks and we took our dollars to other restaurant. While I'd return if this was someone's pick for lunch or dinner, I wouldn't make the effort on my own or recommend Conner's.

    Burger and fries

    We stopped in during an IU game to meet up with some friends and grab a few burgers, and overall had a good experience. The place was busy (expected with the game going on!), and even with the crowd our server did a good job staying attentive. Service was a little slower, but totally understandable given how busy they were. The food was definitely the highlight -- everyone at our table ordered burgers and fries, and they were fantastic. They also accommodated us when a couple of us wanted to split a burger; they handled it without any issue. Drinks were just okay. nothing bad, but nothing standout either. I've definitely had better and worse elsewhere. The only downside was how tight the seating felt. The tables are very close together, and with the place full, it was hard to move around or even get in and out of your seat. They also don't allow standing room, so if you don't have a table, you're kind of out of luck. Still, solid food, good service, and a lively atmosphere -- especially if you're in the mood to enjoy a game with friends. We'd go back again!

    Connors is attached to the Marriott Hotel. It gives the Best of both worlds-restaurant and bar. My cousin and I decided to sit at the bar to watch some games. The waiters were helpful and patient as we looked over the menu. The asparagus was cooked perfectly. Fries were standard. I felt they could have used fresh Parmesan. The wings were lacking flavor , and the sauce wasn't spicy at all. I was excited to try the burnt ends, but they were actually burnt ends. It was more like cubed pork with sauce on it. The pork chop was cooked perfectly and had lots of flavor. The butter cake was amazing! Overall the meal was good, but could have been better for what was spent.

    Service was awesome, our server Skye made sure our food came out quickly and our water glasses were filled! Wish I could say that the food mirrored the service in terms of excellence. My entire meal was cold, and my peers who had the Benedict, the egg was hard boiled not poached and was also cold. While the mains missed the mark, the breakfast nachos and deviled eggs were fantastic!

    I've only ever had the breakfast here, but have enjoyed it every time! The servers are always friendly and helpful. Gluten free modifications are easy and handled with care. Of course, I am a bit jealous of the lemon buttermilk pancakes that my husband orders. They are piled high, super fluffy, and come with a unique lemon syrup that he loves. I order the eggs Benedict on a gluten free bun with scrambled eggs. The sauce is incredible and I have enough for leftovers. I also love the race themed decor and atmosphere. It's a great hotel restaurant!

    I was staying at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown and ended up enjoying a cocktail at Connor's a few nights in a row. One night I sat outside on the patio for dinner and loved it esp. because the open windows let you enjoy the fresh air while still benefiting from the air conditioning inside, and the covered patio kept it comfortable even in the afternoon sun. I have to say, the Cobb Salad here is hands down the best I've ever had. The bacon on top was rich, thick, and tender (truly mouthwatering) the best piece of bacon in my life!! The dressing and toppings were perfectly balanced, and I'm still thinking about it! I also grabbed one of their signature Old Fashioned to take back to my room. I love Buffalo Trace, and their unique twist on the classic cocktail was excellent. The service was consistently kind and attentive, and the atmosphere picks up later in the evening with fun energy and sporting events!

    Lump Crab Hushpuppies
    Aria H.

    Stopped in to order to go and the vibe was a bit odd. Like servers were chillin but they were acting busy. Not sure what was going on but anyway, we ordered the lump crab hush puppies (YES), the bone-in pork chop (YES), the gemeli pasta add chicken (NO there was no salt on the pasta at all and the thinnest piece of chicken I've ever seen), and because I'm a Bonvoy member, received a free dessert--the gooey butter cake with ice cream (YES). I also got the blackberry mule mocktail, which wasn't bad. All around not bad for $100.

    Came in for lunch from across street at convention center. Believe I got there at a great time they were only open 30 minutes so beat the crowd that ended up coming over at 12. The decor is very nice loved all the art and the TV Wall in the bar area was nice. There are two bars and plenty of comfortable seating. Trying to Fish (mahi) tacos with the the creamed street corn. The corn was pretty good at first I was unsure but it turned out to me my fav. The tacos were good portion just the fish was over cooked to me as it was tough and didn't taste like had any seasoning only taste profile was the sauce. The server was nice and efficient. Overall I would come back for sure.

    A few of us were in town for business and came here for breakfast one morning. Service was provided by Tyler and he was very good with his customer service, discussion, knowledge of the menu, and helpfulness. Didn't take long for us to get our piping hot meals. The flavors were great, definitely not the typical "hotel food!" Breakfast menu is loaded with great options too. The venue is beautifully decorated as well. Definitely would return!

Will definitely keep this spot in mind the next time I return to Indy & would highly recommend to others. In fact, I found it superior to my experience @ Harry & Izzy's--much more my vibe!

We were out on the quiet patio surrounded by other customers, so on top of being totally blindsided, it was actually pretty embarrassing, too. Folks, let me tell you how much I wish I could just eat the ramen noodles like everybody else. So much food that I love (and in some cases spent years learning to make myself) went out the window forever when my body stopped being able to handle wheat. But at Strangebird, I could still go in and enjoy the depth of flavor in every other component of a bowl of ramen. And that meant the absolute world to me. I'm heartbroken.
