It was suggest by a friend but I had never been. The experience was wonderful! The entire staff was attentive to our party and there were other large parties there. I had the salmon salad and 2 espresso martinis, both were delicious. The food was so good we all sampled each others' - apple French toast, chicken biscuit with cheese grits, fries and the grilled PB&J. I should have ordered one of those to go. The coffee bar is quite large on the inside with two sides and a nice size bar. Matt, the owner, communicated with my friends to make sure everything para perfect for the shower. We got to meet his mom who was lovely as well. Tiny's is clearly a gathering spot for the community. It's worth the trip to Gary.

Very cute place, and the waitress was very attentive and gave us recommendations, came back often to check on us and refill our drinks. Lots of drink options, including cocktails, wine, beer, cider. I got a grapefruit radler which I don't see too often. Several yummy looking things in the menu, and vegetarian and gluten free options. I went with the recommendation of vegetarian fried rice, topped with a fried egg. My friend got the chips and guac and pork belly side. We both liked the food quite a bit! A great find! Lots of people were there, and there was live music which was a bit loud, but definitely recommend this spot.

Beautiful farm to table restaurant on Main St in Hobart IN tucked in a victorian style home that…read moresits on the lake. This quaint eatery is cooking up fresh farm to table courses that change on a weekly/bi-weekly basis. The service, food and welcoming vibe are worth talking about and I certainly will be back. The price tag for two was amazing for the quality and could hands down run up against any fine dining in any major city. The chef is talented (and I mean talented) I will certainly make this my go to when visiting the area.

She smiled and shared many laughs with us. She was very knowledgeable about the place, background, food and drinks. I love love love that it's nonsmoking!! They are family friendly so next time we will bring our little ones. I'm not sure which days are what or when but they have a dj, karaoke, and line dancing. On each table they have a game you can play like scramble, tic tac toe, etc... Food and drinks were good. We had pizza and nachos. Nachos were smaller than expected. Definitely not shareable lol.. anyway nothing to really brag about there but the prices are pretty decent. I enjoyed myself so much talking with Keri and my husbae and playing games, that I kept forgetting to take pictures. I have a few to share. Come on out for date night, girls/guy night out or bring the whole crew out! I definitely recommend this place. And if you see Keri tell her I sent you!

Dirtty's Jazz & Blues House is officially open for business. My bestie and I checked it out the…read moreother night during our spontaneous Miller Beach pub crawl, and it was pretty OK. I have to admit, the place is waaaaay bigger on the inside than expected. There's a large u-shaped bar with nice lighting, some small high-top tables and chairs, a stage toward the back for the live jazz and blues bands, and even a lounge area with a fireplace and cozy chairs & end tables. Cute and trendy, a nice place for a date. The servers are prompt and friendly. But we ordered Stoli and sodas and pretty much got huge glasses of just vodka on the rocks. I'm not convinced the bartenders really know how to mix a drink, but I'll try a different cocktail next time (although it's kinda hard to mess up a Stoli and soda, right?). The flyer for Dirtty's says in big, bold letters "Adults 40 and Up" which could be just the kind of vibe your looking for, or maybe not your thing at all. Either way, they're very up front about it. My friend happens to be 30 and joked the whole night about being upset that she wasn't carded. C'est la vie. Currently they are open Thursday through Sunday and charge a reasonable $5 cover. Our drinks were $7 each, which is also reasonable considering it was a giant glass of vodka. All in all, we enjoyed our time at Dirtty's and will probably be back. Since they just recently opened, I will forgive the mediocre drink and hope for the best next time. It really is a cute place to enjoy a cocktail with friends and hear some live music by the fire.

Second time I tried to visit was on 2017 New Years Eve. My husband and I pulled in parking lot about 8:30ish and you could hear the music playing from outside but again when we got to door it was locked and we tried knocking but no one ever came to door. The Windows are made of glassblock so that wasn't helpful when trying to knock. I've tried to contact by Facebook, email and phone and have failed to get through. Really disappointed as I would love to see what this place has to offer. However, a business that has wrong contact information on their site and no recent updates on their webpage makes you wonder about the establishment.

All were ordered Mexican style with cilantro and onion. Mine with corn tortillas, hers with flour. We of course had to wash them down with a bottle of Jarritos soda! Taco perfection! Do yourself a favor and stop by. We also visited the grocery store after and bought fresh steak fajitas mix to cook on the grill at home. We can't wait!
