    Great service is all about impeccable timing. That's what our server, Dana, and the rest of the team at Harrison's gave us. My partner and I were seated right away and we started off with drinks. The drinks came minutes after ordering, which was a big surprise considering how busy it was. From there, we ordered the meatballs, shrimp and crab cocktail, brisket ravioli, and the stuffed mushrooms to start. There were too many good options from the starter menu, so we went all out. it seemed like 5 minutes later we got all of our appetizers. Again, crazy timing! We both ordered the chicken piccata and (again) it came out QUICK. The food was on par with the pricing - nothing too fancy, but still really good. Overall, very impressed with the design, ambiance, and the service. Other restaurants should take notes on Harrison's focus on service. Will definitely be back soon.

    Really nice Italian restaurant in downtown Indianapolis. I've driven past her many times never noticed it, but now that I was headed here it looks really nice from the outside, and has a really cool downtown urban look inside. Really nice and clean, simple decorations, old pictures, etc. A large bar with a ton of options. As far as the service goes, the person that greeted us was very friendly and got us to a seat very quickly, our waitress was very nice and sweet and took care of us, she was a little slow, didn't come back often enough my drink went empty a couple times, and then waiting to get the check took a minute, but she was still a really nice girl and did her job with a smile on her face. The food was good. We started with the bread that came free, it had a nice olive oil oil and balsamic with it with some spices. It was very good. The balsamic was a little sweet for me, but still had a really nice depth of taste. The bread was perfect soft on the inside crunchy on the outside. Then we got Caesar salad salads. These also were a little sweet for me. They had a lot of dressing on them made it a little soggy, though the lettuce was fresh and the croutons were crunchy. For dinner we got chicken piccata. It was very good. Chicken was crispy and juicy and the pasta was great. I got the rigatoni Bolognese. The pasta was good, but overcooked. A little limp, more al dente would've been better. And the sauce was just a tad sweet for me, but maybe I just felt like most things were too sweet today. It had some meat in it not a ton, but enough and had a really great flavor sauce as well just a little too sweet for me. For dessert, we had the cherries jubilee, which was basically vanilla, ice cream, cherries, whipped cream, and strawberries. It was really good. Overall, a really great experience and a place we will go back to.

    Meh. Just ok. Got the chicken Parmesan sandwich and it was just ok. Lacked flavor and I could make better at home. Wouldn't return, honestly.

    This place is a hidden gem! We had dinner here on a Saturday night. We had reservations as we were a group of 5 but it wasn't too busy so I'm not sure we would have needed them. It has outdoor seating (covered so you aren't baking in the sun), there was an outdoor fireplace. It felt so cozy. The inside bar was fun and the decor was contemporary meets subtle luxury. Service was great, cocktails were good, and the fun was also great! We all left saying we had to come back.

    This used to be a bank. I love when older buildings are repurposed instead of being torn down and replaced with some cookie cutter building. And it is always nice to find a private parking lot free of charge in the downtown area. That said, they did a nice job redesigning the interior. I have mixed feelings about the food unfortunately. The food is plated nicely and looks very attractive. I had ordered the antipasti salad and a burger with fries. The salad was not only gorgeous, but full of interesting ingredients and absolutely fantastic. Too bad the burger and truffle fries disappointed. It was the driest burger I had in a long time and the fries were just ok. I am hoping these were just starter problems as we came here fairly soon after they opened. My guests had mixed feelings also, with some dishes rated highly while others were just so-so. I am hopeful that eventually the food will be consistently great.

    I was scrolling devour and found this new restaurant to try out. We went and they have renovated super cute on the inside. It was a nice evening so we decided to sit on the pretty spacious patio. It took a little while for the server to come and greet us so we were ready for our order. The was okay to me. I feel like it's missing an authentic taste to it. The salmon was tad over cooked. Would I go again, sure. I would give them some time to work out the kinks.

    Really enjoyed checking out this place for the first time during Devour! It was extra unique to see what they did with the place given it was once my bank! It is lovely! The old drive up window area now houses a great patio space and they even have a large booth inside the old bank vault. I found the food to be extremely tasty and the service to be attentive and friendly. We will be back!

    We've been wanting to come here since they opened and finally found a perfect time during Devour We called in to make reservations at 5:30, the host said they could accommodate us if we came a little bit earlier it would be great We did came a little earlier for their request and to make sure we can make out Old National event at 7, we thought it was going to be busy it wasn't, also wasn't busy at 5:30 which we were confused, wondering why they wanted us earlier they were plenty of open tables We started with some bread and their balsamic vinaigrette/oil dipping concoction which was good For devour we had salad and entree and we opted for dessert instead of an appetizer to share, the Caesar could had more dressing and the main entre could have looked more full but it rather look like it was small amount of food the way it's plated Our server Brett was great, what wasn't great was the bus boy, he was too quick and came very often which distracted us from our conversations a lot and he grabbed them before asking for permission also putting his hand over our plates while we're eating. Not a big deal but tells you how not busy they were I guess This place is nice, open and bright and clean look

    Rare downtown parking lot for Harrison's
    Brianne H.

    Such an amazing new addition to Indy's food scene! It's a renovated bank that makes it such a unique spot (you can even sit in the "vault" room). We came for lunch and got the chicken parm sandwich (DELICIOUS SO GOOD!) and the fettuccini Alfredo (also amazing). We live downtown and often visit new restaurants only to be underwhelmed by the food. But we were pleasantly surprised by Harrison's and will definitely be back, as well as suggesting it to friends. Also another huge perk is they have a PARKING LOT!!! This is so rare for downtown and makes it that much more accessible than other restaurants where you have to pay for street parking.

    Old bank building that changed over...quite a bit! Relaxed casual atmosphere that dims lights as night gets late. Their italian pastas and entrees were great. Their pork chop had interesting sauce, and I enjoyed their chicken parmesan during this visit. They are all on board with balsamic as far as their food goes - so definitely ask for adjustment if you are not as into it. Their marinara sauce was balanced and not as acidic as some places go. I would come back again to try some other menu items. Their servers worked well and were very hospitable to us.

    Spiced Apple Tini

    My husband, I, and a couple friend of ours went to Harrison's for the first time last night and were blown away. What an absolutely wonderful experience! First, the restaurant is GORGEOUS. The building is a renovated bank and is very unique, including a beautiful bar, outside dining with fire pits, and a private vault that you can book for events. Plus.... FREE PARKING! In a lot! Need I say more... Everyone we met, from the waiter, to the actual owner, were SO nice. The owner himself came by multiple times to make sure everything was good, and was cracking jokes and just a fun guy. Thirdly, of course, was the food and cocktails. I had the Spiced Apple Tini (a fall cocktail) and it was AWESOME. The couple I was with also said the cocktails they had that were not the seasonal were also amazing. The bread before dinner was so yummy and soft! Appetizers were well done, and all of our entrees came out quickly and were delicious. We will definitely be back, and will be spreading the word about this new restaurant!

    We stopped in just a few days after they opened to grab a snack and some drinks and check out the new space. The restaurant is laid out beautifully and has great decor. I especially love the use of the old bank vault as a private dining space. We sat at the bar and had drinks. The bartender made the wrong drink for one of us and rather than just replace the drink with the correct order my guest decided to drink it. We ordered an appetizer, salad and an entrée all to share. The shrimp and crab cocktail is really good. The Crab is a nice touch. The burrata salad is also very nice. I think we got the balsamic dressing, which was delicious. We finished with the lasagna. The lasagna is very flavorful and holds up on the plate. All of the dishes came out together. We were expecting them to be delivered in courses. They will continue to refine the service process. We should have made our service wishes more obvious. The menu looks great. Make sure you stop by and enjoy.

    we decided to stop in at Harrison since it's a new restaurant and we're pleasantly surprised. Our server Lindsey was warm and welcoming with quick service and a friendliness that is rare in restaurants nowadays. I ordered the rigatoni Bolognese and it was delicious. My boyfriend ordered the chicken Parmesan and loved it and finished every bite. We had some tiramisu which was sweet and delicious and perfect for two people to share. The restaurant is cute with a fancy vibe and appealing to the eye!, we will definitely be back.

The communication throughout the process was great and it made the planning very easy from start to finish. They offered several good menu options and were also very flexible (we wanted to omit veal from a dish).

The restaurant itself is really well designed--traditional meets modern in a way that somehow works. Looking at the tiles and wall coverings individually, you might think, "Oh...interesting choice." But put it all together and it's actually quite harmonious. Design math, apparently. We started with drinks. I had one of their daiquiris, and it was perfect. I'm a whiskey girl, but after some enthusiastic pours the night before, the thought of more whiskey was a hard no. The daiquiri was light, refreshing, and tasty--sweet, but not obnoxiously sweet. And most importantly, it tasted absolutely nothing like whiskey. Mission accomplished. For starters, we ordered the Brie brûlée. I was a fan. The husband was...not. Here's how you do it: take a wedge of their freshly baked toasted bread, slather on some strawberry jam, dip that glorious situation into the pistachio-dusted Brie brûlée, eat, and repeat. And repeat. And repeat. I eventually had to intervene with myself. I ordered the beet and peach salad without the beets because, well...gross. The peaches could have been a little riper, but the salad was still really good. Nicely dressed, with candied pumpkin seeds and some kind of soft herbed cheese that pulled everything together. Very tasty, and thankfully no beets were harmed in the making of my dinner. Then came the meatballs. I have never in my life had meatballs that tasted like these, and I mean that as a very good thing. They were herbaceous, tender, with just a hint of sweetness. And somehow, they kept getting better as we ate them. Especially the ones at the bottom, sitting in all that sauce. DO NOT PASS THESE UP. The husband ordered the prime rib, which he rated an 8 out of 10. High praise, friends. This man does not hand out 8s like participation trophies. Service was great, the food was genuinely enjoyable, and the whole experience was exactly what we wanted on our last night in Indy.

I felt that there was a sweetness to the flavor that I liked, which I could see not everyone enjoying. There is also a hot dusting over the french fries which exacerbates any discomfort people are having from the heat. There really wasn't anything to cool it down.

I always order the Cuban when a new restaurant has one on the menu, and Big Lug's did not disappoint. It was juicy, flavorful, and one of the better Cubans I've had in a while. On my second visit, I went with the blackened cod tacos on corn tortillas (you can also get flour tortillas, and they offer shrimp and breaded fish options). They were fresh, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Both visits I ordered the spicy garlic cauliflower, and it was outstanding. The homemade blue cheese dressing took it to another level. If you're on the fence about ordering it, don't be--it was one of my favorite things on the menu. The outdoor walk-up bar creates a really cool, laid-back atmosphere, making it a great place to relax whether you're meeting friends or just enjoying a meal by yourself.

We sat right in the middle of the main thoroughfare and were completely ignored for at least 15 minutes before we finally flagged someone down. The guy, "H," apologized and said, "Oh, my bad--it's all good." We figured, no big deal, let's move on. We ordered pretty simple food, apps and were then going to put in some entrees once apps arrived. We asked for waters and a water bowl for our pups. He brought two waters--with no straws--and no dog bowl. We assumed he was going to grab the bowl, so we waited... and waited. Then I noticed him at the end of the bar leaning against some boxes, texting. So I finally got up, interrupted him and asked for the dog bowl. His response, "oh my bad." Our appetizers came out, and naturally, we asked for silverware. A few minutes later, I spotted "H" in the corner on his phone again. At that point I was thinking, seriously?! So I got up again, interrupted "H's" text convo and asked for silverware. His response again was, "Oh, my bad." I didn't respond to him I just turned around and went back to my seat. Honestly, the whole experience started feeling more like a self-serve restaurant than table service. It's a chill spot and we weren't being needy whatsoever. We never asked for any refills- we were merely asking for the basics. We wanted to order more food, but by that point we were pretty turned off and decided to just get the check. Then came the final straw: my guy had his license and credit card sitting on the table because he hadn't brought his wallet out for our monon trek. When "H" came back with the checkout thing, without question or hesitation - he grabbed the card and swiped it. We didn't even realize what happened until afterward. Maybe that's standard there, but I've never had a server just take my card without asking. Usually you get a "hey do we want to use this card? Or something to confirm. And of course the tip structure is skewed so the min is 20% unless you want to try to figure out to manually enter in 15% (which most ppl don't -incl my guy), so we left 20% and left irritated and still hungry. "H" didn't seem hungover or anything--he just genuinely seemed like he did not not give a shiiiit. We had to get up three separate times to get things we had already requested: the dog bowl, a couple straws, and silverware. (Basics) And a quick note on the 7-Layer Hoss Dip: don't expect seven layers. It comes in a small thick ceramic bowl and was basically beans, guacamole, a tiny bit of corn and some hard cheese on top. Definitely would not recommend it. Way too "beany" and not worth $16 at all. The southwest rolls were decent- very fried tho. Cheesecake Factory's are better ;) The location and dog-friendly atmosphere are great, with the exception of the homeless camp right at their patio entrance, but unfortunately, the service really took away from the experience. Hopefully this was just an off night, because Big Lug has a lot going for it.
