The open kitchen is absolutely lovely, and I can't believe how beautiful the decor is. It's definitely something you wouldn't expect to find in Indiana. Everyone ordered the filet mignon, except for me. I ordered the sea bass , which was highly recommended by our waiter. Great service and drink selection. And the filets and fish were extremely tender. I would love to return if the menu rotates!

It looked like reservations are highly recommended if you're planning to dine in. The ambience was elegant, calm, and intimate, and the service was hard-working, cheerful, and accommodating. Our large group ordered a variety of drinks, and not a single person was disappointed. I can personally vouch for the espresso martini and the Fashioned in Apple; both perfectly suited my tastes. For dessert, a friend ordered the chocolate mousse while I chose the Yule Log. The presentation was gorgeous and delicate, and of course, they were delicious. Now I just need to come back to try the food. The prices might sting a bit, but I have a feeling my taste buds will convince me it's worth it.

Very poorly managed, and awful customer service…read more We arrived, there was a short line (less than 10 people), and I could see LOTS of empty tables in the bar and outside. They don't take reservations. The group of 4 or 5 in front of us was seated promptly. There was another group of 4 or 5 behind us in line. I told them we had 10 total people, But would be happy to split into 2 tables if 5, one of 6 and another of 4, whatever was easiest for them. Was told "no, the manager says we're not taking any more large groups tonight." Again - I could see at least 15 empty tables in the bar and outside. I reiterated we'd be happy to separate into 2 groups of 5, or 4 + 6, or whatever. Hard no. I asked to speak with the manager - the greeter went back to get her and came back and said "she'll come out in a while, but Angie made it clear that no matter what you say it will be at least a 2 hour wait". Are you kidding me ...?!? Don't give them your business. Go elsewhere. They'll probably be happy you left. Terrible customer experience. I'd give them -1 stars if Yelp allowed negative stars.

Bottom Line: Fun, waterside, marina atmosphere with decent food. Worth a stop…read more I picked this place out from my map function because it looked interesting, on the water, and near an historic, old railroad bridge (Trail Creek Swing Bridge). It is my first time here, and for a late afternoon linner. The place did not disappoint--for the most part. It is open air with a beachy, boaty, picnic tables-under-umbrellas vibe. It overlooks the water, a marina, and the name inspiring railroad swing bridge which makes for an interesting visual environment. Thankfully there is no attempt to force an out of place theme, sparing us from steel drum background music. Interestingly though, the only nod to the railroad structure inspired name was an old school railroad crossing sign at the entry otherwise everything else is boat marina feel. Our server was friendly and efficient. My hefty burger was thick and juicy. The coleslaw was fresh. The disappointment was the fries. They were more like shoestring fries and came dried out/overcooked. The sweet potatoes fries were a better bet. The lackluster fries were not enough though to lose a star. Overall the experience was a satisfying one and at a reasonable price. I would definitely come back especially as a very nice alternative to the other railroad name inspired brewery restaurant in town.
