Okay, Harry & Izzy's has officially made it onto my list of FAVORITE restaurants! I first came here in April while in Indianapolis for a conference, and I loved it so much that I had to come back during another trip. Let me tell you, the SECOND visit was somehow even better than the first! First, the service was absolutely TOP TIER. My coworker has celiac disease and cannot have gluten, and she was blown away by how many options she had to choose from. She said it was the most choices she's had on a restaurant menu in a LONG time! A manager even came to our table personally to verify her entire order and explained that she would personally deliver her food to make sure there was no cross-contamination. THAT level of care and attention was amazing and made her feel completely comfortable dining here. Our server, Derek, was fantastic! He was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive, and gave us excellent recommendations. Now THE FOOD!! I had the 16 oz. ribeye Oscar style with mashed potatoes, and it was SOOOO GOOD. The steak was tender, flavorful, and cooked beautifully. The mashed potatoes were delicious, and we also had the fried Brussels sprouts, I literally could not stop eating them. My coworker ordered the fresh Atlantic cod and fries from the gluten-free menu and said it was DELICIOUS. My other coworker had the penne Alfredo with chicken and said it was the BEST Alfredo she has EVER had! But the SHOWSTOPPER of the night?! The Woodford Reserve Bread Pudding. OH. MY. GOODNESS. The bread pudding was warm, soft, fresh, and full of flavor, the ice cream paired perfectly with it, and bourbon is ALWAYS a plus in my book! It was the perfect ending to an already amazing meal. The ambiance deserves a mention too, low lighting, beautiful atmosphere, and just an overall great evening-dinner vibe. After two visits, I can confidently say Harry & Izzy's is no longer just a restaurant I like in Indianapolis, it has genuinely become one of my favorite places to eat, PERIOD. The food, service, atmosphere, and especially the care they showed regarding my coworker's dietary needs were exceptional. SO GOOD. If you're in downtown Indianapolis, you HAVE to try this place. I'll absolutely be back for visit #3! read more

Wow wow wow, that shrimp cocktail is incredible and slaps you in the face. The horseradish is strong but so delicious. I would come back just to get that again. The shrimp were massive too. I also got the filet mignon slider which was amazing too. I got medium rare and it was cooked to perfection. The servers were phenomenal and the overall place is very classy and elegant but friendly. read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Harry and Izzy's while I was in town for a conference! The rest is very conveniently located, and we were able to easily walk to the restaurant from the convention center. We had a larger group and were able to book a reservation in advance. We were seated in a private room for our meal, which was perfect with a big group. The staff was very friendly and helpful, making sure that everybody had any questions answered. I appreciate that we were given to wait staff for our group size which made things move very fast and efficiently. They have some great lunch offerings and deals to get the most out of the menu. I really liked the lunch combo with the shrimp cocktail, their homemade sauce really packs a punch! We also had a special birthday and they were able to bring out a dessert for our birthday girl, and that was a great part of the experience as well. read more

Note to management: the Root Beer Glazed Chicken Sandwich deserves the same wet nap treatment as wings and ribs. It's ridiculously good, but your hands will look like you wrestled the sandwich and lost. At least the airport restroom is right across the hall for the inevitable cleanup. Soooo delish. read more

What a surprise lunch at Harry & Izzy's!!!! So to preface this I was asked if I like shrimp cocktail....oh yes please!!! I wasn't warned that it was hot as hell and the way I eat shrimp cocktail it is one big bite. Needless to say there were tears. After the tears dried there was a smile. The best shrimp cocktail ever!!!! The amount of horseradish in the cocktail sauce is unreal. DON'T TAKE ONE BIG BITE!!!! This is your warning!!! It cleared any sinus issues I had for sure. We ordered a prime rib sandwich and the Emerald Kale Salad. The Kale salad was so full of flavor with aged manchego, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, cilantro vinaigrette, and peanut satay sauce. Highly recommend. The service was amazing by the way. Top notch for sure. The ambiance is classy, crisp and clean. The Prime Rib Sandwich looked amazing as well. So glad I went and thank you Harry & Izzy's for the most entertaining Shrimp Cocktail experience ever!!! read more

Harry & Izzy's is a sister restaurant to St. Elmo's. Peyton Manning is an investor and partner of the company. #18 had good taste in food because the shrimp cocktail is delicious. Spicy and sinus clearing but world famous for being so! They do have a milder version if you can't take the heat. The service was great! Our waiter was nice and very friendly and helpful. The filet sliders were tender and so good! The chips came with a really good French onion dip! I wish I had the recipe for it! The Caesar salad was fresh and the croutons were great. They were perfect and not rock hard like most restaurants. The star though is the shrimp cocktail! Chilled and delicious dipped in that spicy hot horseradish cocktail sauce. No other place can compare to it. It's made fresh daily and it's just the best!! Now, I need to go to the original St. Elmo's and try it there. Yum! One day! read more

1/21/26- special 2000th review!-***** Arrived and had dinner reservations at 6 pm for six people.. Staff was very attentive and professional . I went with the prime rib sandwich and asked if I could get half French fries half onion rings..(I think I ended with a whole order of onion rings).. Prime rib sandwich with the au jus and fries was very good! Thanks fellow Yelper Katherine A. for posting a review which led me to the French dip! Also got their signature shrimp cocktail..mild sauce.. Sauce was not too spicy but then I only drizzled some on top. A nice shrimp cocktail - not too big and not too small. Perfect sized appetizer. Hubby went with the New York steak.. (which they butterflied).. unfortunately, it was cooked more than requested.. One guest ordered the turkey burger, one had a salad and two had the steaks. Desserts were a brownie sundae- decent and moist- One ordered the cheesecake- one with the special bread pudding .. read more

In town for a convention and went there two nights in a row. No reservations? Try the bar. The four tops can be converted to six if needed. Everyone on staff is fantastic. First night, by myself: Old Fashioned Toasted Ravioli 8 oz filet with peppercorn sauce and mashed potatoes. Excellently prepared and everything was delicious. Second night, part of six. I wish I could remember the waitress's name because she was awesome. 2 toasted ravioli. 2 shrimp cocktails. I ordered the Izzy Style New York Strip and I wouldn't orders it again. The steak is so good here and all this pepper and sauce isn't needed. read more

I can't recommend this place enough. My group was in town for a conference and we decided to do a group lunch here. It was fantastic! The services was great, the food was top notch and it was also my birthday which they were kind enough to acknowledge. I loved have the ability to order the lunch special which gave me the opportunity to try so many things. I had such a hard time choosing so this was perfect. I was able to try their signature shrimp cocktail which was so good! VERYYYY Spicy but after the burn wears off it tastes so good! This portion size was more than enough and I was stuffed afterwards. I also highly recommend the French onion soup. This is one of the best soups I've ever tasted. I can't wait to come back to Indiana again so I can come back to this restaurant!! read more

Harry and Izzy's is the companion restaurant to the world famous Saint Elmo's steakhouse. It features many of the same types of food, including premium aged steaks and of course, the well-known shrimp cocktail that everyone raves about at Saint Elmo's. The name of this restaurant is a nod to two best friends who owned an operated Saint Elmo's for years here in Indianapolis. there are several locations in the city, including one at the airport. You can expect the same high-quality service and attention to the culinary details at each place. Sometimes parking can be a little tricky in downtown Indianapolis, but with some preplanning and thought it shouldn't be too difficult. I would recommend trying to make a reservation prior to arriving. this restaurant is committed to being disability accessible. read more

Our group of 12 came in for a Monday night dinner. We were seated upstairs which is a bit more basic than the downstairs seating with its lighting and bar. Service was provided by 2 people, both attentive and polite. My old fashioned cocktails were well-crafted. The complimentary bread was buttery and flavorful. While I don't eat shrimp, I tried the famous cocktail sauce on a cracker and enjoyed the zing. I loved my wedge salad - maybe my favorite part of the meal. The prime rib sandwich is another favorite, especially for a person that doesn't want steak (or the cost of it). It came with fries. Sides are ala carte. Brussel sprouts were fantastically crispy. The sides felt somewhat unneeded though and it felt like a lot of money went to waste. Be mindful of your entrees coming with sides and that they're big for sharing. We were too stuffed for dessert - plus the bread pudding I'd have wanted took 20 minutes to prepare. If you're going to have some, this is the one to pick. read more

Always amazing. The food was great. The service was amazing I always like to visit when I am in Indy

We visited Indianapolis from Milwaukee the other weekend to see a concert. Two friends of ours from Ohio suggesting getting together for dinner and strongly recommended Harry & Izzy's. I'm sure glad they did. This was an exceptional experience all around. Our server was top-notch in all regards -- friendly, informative, and attentive. We tried a variety of cocktails in our lengthy stay. Elmo Cola, Old Fashioned...they were great. The "world famous" St Elmo shrimp cocktail is worthy of its title. Holy cow. I've had St Elmo cocktail sauce from the store, but the one they serve in the restaurant is an entirely different experience. Every single bite I took resulted in a blast of horseradish heat shooting up my nostrils, but it was addicting -- I couldn't stop eating it. Best shrimp cocktail I've had in my life...by a mile. And the steak. I feel like I'm full of hyperbole here but it was also one of the best restaurant steaks I've had. The steak itself was made perfectly, but I think what really brought it all together was the orange brandy butter sauce. I'm sure we'll come back to Indianapolis...and Harry & Izzy's will be a certain stop. read more

I ordered their lunch special prime ribeye with mashed potatoes and signature brownie and it was only about $50 total *ordered takeout). The steak was cooked well, a good medium rare and easy to cut with the plastic cutlery, as it was tender as well. The mashed potatoes with pieces of potato skin in it was better than I expected. Very buttery, creamy, and paired nicely with the steak. Lastly, the signature brownie was interestingly good. The pecans in added a nice different texture to the brownies I normally have and the ice cream that it came with was delightful. It was light and tasted like it was made in house. Also, staff here was friendly despite it being quite busy in the afternoon. read more

In town for a work conference, we brought a large group of 12 for dinner. Harry & Izzy's is the sister spot to St. Elmo. Same pedigree, but with a bigger dining room and broader menu. Food: We started with brussel sprouts and calamari. Both were flavorful and well prepared. For my entrée, I ordered the ribeye "Izzy's Way" (pepper crusted and served in a bath of steak sauce). Normally I avoid steak sauce, but this was excellent and worth ordering in Indy. Sides of mushrooms and broccolini were just okay. Dessert stole the show. The banana bread pudding was phenomenal. Easily the best bread pudding I've had anywhere. The local black coffee paired perfectly. Service and Atmosphere: Service was attentive and smooth, even for a big group. The dining room has a warm, lively atmosphere without being overwhelming. A great place to bring colleagues or friends for a solid steakhouse experience. Bottom line: If you are downtown and want a great steak dinner, Harry & Izzy's is worth it. Go for the ribeye Izzy's Way, but do not leave without trying the banana bread pudding. read more

Ordered delivery for my wife who had to stay over the weekend on a business trip to Indy. So, perhaps a little unusual, this is her review of the dinner. Started with the classic shrimp cocktail. Excellent, plump fresh shrimp and the famous St Elmos cocktail sauce that met all expectations. House salad was also great, got the cilantro vinagrette. The filet ordered medium, was delivered rare. Of course there's no way to ask the kitchen to give it a bit more cook. But anyone would think an upscale steakhouse would know the basics about steak temp. Very disappointing. The potato side, smashed red potatoes suprisingly didn't travel well either. So fabulous start, then a crash and burn for the main course. Next time we'd go downtown to St Elmos and skip the Harry & Izzy's experience. read more

Service is outstanding! Wes, our server recommended so many delicious things! We were not disappointed! His nice, easy going personality matched his professionalism. He has a great sense of humor too! Dinner was delicious and we're so happy to have tried this steakhouse. It is decorated so well with linen tablecloths, velvet window curtains, perfectly subdued lighting and classy murals/artwork on the walls that's relative to the era this fancy restaurant first came to be. All in all, it has a lovely ambiance, excellent customer service and tasty dishes! read more

Came here for a team lunch with my job. We had to enter through the now-abandoned Circle Center Mall, which had an odd odor. Once we made it inside the restaurant, it took a while to be seated, even with a reservation but everyone was really nice and did their best to seat all of us as fast as possible. Our server was incredible, and we found out that she was on her third week! She absolutely killed it! The food was pretty good and the cocktails were strong, it's what you'd expect from a high-scale restaurant. The highlight for me was definitely the service for me! read more

Excellent food and service! It is very comparable to Ruth's Chris steakhouse and $20 less per plate.

Here for the Indy Mini-Marathon and found this restaurant nearby the hotel we're staying downtown. Seating would take 5-10 mins or immediately for the high tops by the bar. We decided to go with getting seated immediately. The menu had great options and it's awesome that they had lunch size portions too! We went with the NY strip with saucer beans and the Parlay with salmon and St. Elmo shrimp cocktail. Steak was cooked per order and tasted great. Overall, I would return and try other items. read more

My recent visit to Harry & Izzy's was a good one. From the classic spicy shrimp cocktail and on, everything tasted good, the drinks were well crafted and the service was just right. The beef meatball appetizer was also good, with some spice included with the other classic flavors. The Cod was really good, served blackened with their terrific remoulade, lightly buttered green beans left room for the highlight, the Woodford Bread Pudding. The Pop's Old Fashioned was a great version of the classic drink with Rare Saint Rye. read more

Every once in a while you've got to kick it back to the OG fine dining lunch spot in downtown Indy. They actually have very reasonable lunch options! They have a 15, 20, and 25 dollar lunch combo. I got the 25 and it came with salmon, fries, a small Caesar salad, and some of the world-famous shrimp cocktail! I recommend asking for some saltines if you like the cocktail sauce because putting it all on two shrimps is a bold move! Would be very hot hot to spread it out. I found it to be a good deal. My friend got a turkey sandwich which looked great and cost $15. That's market more expensive than chipotle or other "fast casual" around here! read more

While at the convention center for a large conference that we were working at, a few of us came to St Elmo's right at 4, when it opened to grab a spot at the bar and try their "famous" shrimp, but the line was ridiculously long outside, so we came here, to Harry & Izzy's instead, since it's the same chain. Walking in, we quickly found a couple of seats at the bar and upon being greeted by the bartender, I asked her what she likes to make and he response was "draft beer." To which I said no bartender should say that, especially in a nicer place like this with all the spirits they have. She then said wine too. This just told me she wasn't a very good bartender, rather an order taker who just pumps out orders with no focus on customer service nor providing a good experience. Service was very mixed the entire time we were there. While there, we also tried their famous shrimp, ordering 6 pieces. At the same time we ordered that, we asked for the fried ravioli and also the bacon. The ravioli and two orders of the bacon came out soon after and when we said we only ordered one order of bacon, she said "oh yeah" and asked if we wanted this second order and when we said not if we had to pay for it, she took it - Another poor service and training example from her... What's she going to do with it once it was sat in front of us? Hopefully not serve it to someone else! The bacon tasted great! The shrimp was over done being covered in that cocktail sauce. The flavor of the sauce was decent, but not stronger/spicier than Eddie V's atomic horseradish in their cocktail sauce. Drinks during our visit were ok, but nothing special. Overall, based on this experience and what we heard from others about this place and St Elmo's, this chain seems to have rested on their laurels and long history and does little to continue providing great service and experience. read more

Came back to Harry and Izzy's after a tremendous experience last year! This year was off to a great start again, our server was very good! I cannot recall his name, but he was a young gentleman who used to bus tables at Elmo's Steakhouse next door......anyway, despite his best efforts our evening was blemished by my entree. I ordered the ribeye medium, it arrived (a beautiful center cut piece of the ribeye) cold. Not warm mind you, but cool to the touch. Honestly I have never gotten a steak arrive cool to the touch at any steakhouse......it was like it sat on a tray, as opposed to under a heat lamp for quite a while before being g served. Second steak arrived after a while, and was presented by a manager.......it was a heavily charred replacement which was grey when I cut into it. I told the manager it was hot, but not anywhere close to a medium. By the time the third steak arrived, my companions had finished dinner and I'm happy they were, because the third "steak" was the single worst looking ribeye end piece I had ever seen (it was completely falling apart and just obviously flashed on the grill and rare.). As soon as it hit the table, I looked at the manager and said no thank you......just the check please. The manager mentioned something about the kitchen being "tough tonight" and I nicely explained that I just came in for a great steak due to last year's positive experience, and was surprised that she couldn't tell that either of the replacement steaks obviously weren't up to par from just sight alone......and why she would even try and serve them. She apologized, adjusted the bill, we paid the check, and got up to leave.....as I'm walking away from the table, I glanced back to see a fourth steak arrive at our empty table, by appearance it was a beautiful looking steak (finally). I walked over and told them that I wasn't interested in a fourth attempt. On the way out one of the other servers pulled me aside and apologized for the whole situation and explained that they have been having issues for quite sometime with the kitchen and management. Three star rating was only because our server was phenomenal in handling an increasingly difficult situation ...... if not for him it would Have been one star. read more

First time in Indy and wanted to do exactly what everyone else wanted to.. go to St Elmo's but booked until 9:30pm . So I went to this sister restaurant next door and had an enjoyable experience. Food excellent-same famous shrimp cocktail as St Elmo's (pricey $20 for 4 jumbos) was excellent and spicy and fresh horseradish for sure. Filet was excellent a bit off in cooking but meat was incredible and the horseradish Gorgonzola butter was $5 and worth it. The red skin mashed potatoes were fabulous. For a $108 price tag it was worth it. Service was good. It is a rather loud environment. Food delivery was a bit off with a 30 gap between shrimp and entree. Nothing offered which is disappointing. I would return. read more

We visited this location for a friends birthday, and the service was good. I will say that I feel as though the food quality has gone downhill. We asked for bread rolls and they were very hard. I ordered the salmon with mashed potatoes. My potatoes were hard and cold. The salmon was good, but very small for the price. I use to eat at Harry & Izzy's often and it was one of my fave restaurants. I will wish they'd bring back the chopped steak with the Gorgonzola topping. The ambiance is great, and the overall visit was okay. Nice servers. read more
