The ambiance is beautiful and nice, and the bartenders are very skilled in making cocktails. The cocktail menu is very impressive, and their selection of whiskey is phenomenal. I ordered an old fashioned with bullit rye whiskey, and it was terrific. We could also order food from Wolfie's Grill, so I ordered the hot honey pepperoni pizza. It was a wonderful pizza. The highlight of our experience was hanging out on the deck watching the view of the Geist Reservoir on a beautiful day. The Broken Barrel -Geist is a wonderful lounge to have a drink and food and enjoy the scenery of the Geist Reservoir. It is the perfect hang out spot in Geist. Everyone should come check it out!

Situated inside Hotel Nickel Plate in Fishers, the restaurant was right there off the main entrance. The buffet set up was easy to understand and navigate. The food was so so good! The buffet had a variety of breakfast and lunch options as well as a build your own omelette station! The only thing I did not like as much was the chicken, it was a bit on the drier side but everything else was good. My favorite was the salmon topped with crab cakes, the bananas foster French toast, and the omelette I made. Teresa was AMAZING! Not only did she go out of her way to get us the type of coffee we wanted, she checked on us frequently and always made sure we were good! I would love to try their menu on a non-holiday set up so I will certainly be returning.

Omgoodness. The best experience. The BEST…read more We took our baby boy for his 21st birthday. What a great decision this was. The drinks - so good. The food - so tasty. The service - exceptional. We ordered the lemon drop martini, Elmo Cola, the Gatsby and liquid love affair. I asked for the liquid love affair to have a very light pour of alcohol and they obliged. Everyone loved their drinks. Even me. And I am NOT a drinker. We ordered shrimp cocktails, lobster bisque, steaks and lobster. Everything so good. My son's steak was overdone but they happily remade it and ALL the sides that came with it. Just immaculate service. We also ordered the chocolate mousse pie. We asked our server to place the candles we had brought on top. Lemme tell you. The service. Just so good. She realized they were sparkler candles so she waited to light it until she was at our table. We did ask the manager if we could present our son his gift during dinner. It was a firearm and we didn't wanna cause any drama or "unsafe" feelings even though, obvi, it wouldn't have been loaded. We did want to respect the establishment and their other patrons. He kindly declined and, of course, we understood. Can we talk about service? Just so exceptional. Customer service for me will make or break any experience. The bills was... A LOT. Even AFTER they comped everything the birthday boy had ordered. But even if they hadn't comped ANYTHING... I always believe in paying good money for good food. The place was clean. The bathroom clean. And there is a lot for parking. Just the best time was had.

I attended the margarita class and it was so fun!!…read more Firstly, I had vent really heard a lot about these classes but a friend invited me to attend and so glad she did. The event takes place on the patio area, it's small and intimate. It is great for networking and mingling and making new connections. The staff was absolutely amazing and engaged with the crowd the entire night. I felt the vibe that they really love their job. They don't let you know about the menu prior to , which I was a bit apprehensive about but it turned out great! For starters we had some chunky guac, watermelon pico, and some kind of verde salsa with chips. 10/10! The Watermelon pico was new to me and very refreshing!! Next we had some steak fajitas with rice. I was not a fan of the rice and the steak wasn't seasoned to my liking but still a good dish! Lastly we had dessert that put me in the mind of being at the state fair. It was a pastry fried (think like funnel cake taste) and fruit ...so yummy! Now the margaritas! Enjoy as much it as little as you like! I loved experimenting and trying different combos. My favorite was the mango spicy flavor! They said they have these events quarterly or so and I can't wait to go to the next one!

1.10.26 - I like to pick nice restaurants for the Hub's birthday, and try places we haven't been…read moreto, so was excited to go to Portofino. It's not much to look at from the outside - in small strip mall off Fall Creek about 2 miles north of 96th, but the inside is both luxe and comfortably cozy. At just 12 tables, you get your table for the night, so there is no rush and your evening can be as long as you want to make it. They also have a gorgeous little side wine room that you can rent for parties of 6-8 for dinner. And there's a little bar area that seats maybe 4-6. We had reservations for 6pm, so there were only 2 or 3 other tables occupied when we got there, but they filled throughout the night (& we left close to 8pm). Our server Shaunda was delightful, and the owner Dan came around and checked on all the tables a few times as well. We were presented with a cous cous amuse bouche, a nice refreshing bite to start the evening. Hubs had an Italian Old Fashioned and I asked our server to pair wine for me, so it was a Decoy Sauv Blanc with our first course - the mussels. We asked for extra crostinis in order to soak up more of the delicious sauce they came in. Next was the beet arugula salad, so good! For entrees, hubs had the pappardelle bolognaise and got an iced T, and I had the short ribs with risotto, paired with a glass of cab franc. Dessert was coffee (americano) for each of us, and we split the tiramisu (see all my pics). We ate and enjoyed everything! Total with tax was right at 200 before gratuity. So this is more of a splurge place for us, (of course would be less without the beverages we did) but we will be back. It was a really pleasant evening and another big win for me picking birthday places! #yum #ReviewsByRL

Wow. I must start there. Talk about an experience, this place is what 5 stars is…read more Located in Fishers, in a spot that has been a couple other restaurants prior I wasn't really sure what to expect. Once parked (plenty of parking right outside their door), walking in it is a very intimate, maybe no more than 12 tables or so. We did have reservations, I would suggest making them to be on the safe side since it is so small. As soon as we sat down, our server came right over and explained how the menu is laid out and how the courses are brought out. I will say, this is not a place to go when you are rush. It is meant to be slow, so you can settle in and enjoy your food, enjoy the company and just be in the moment. We were probably there just over 2 hours for just the two of us. Chef Dan came out many times to chat with us and really made us feel welcome. Telling us different stories, walking us through what we were eating, and just made us feel like we were special. While everything was amazing, a few standout things I would like to mention: The Mussels were amazing, such good flavor so if you are fan, make sure you order them. The caesar salad comes disassembled, and the anchovies are sold separately, (I didn't realize it when I ordered it), we ordered a few desserts and they were all amazing. Can't go wrong there.

Tiburon honestly changed my whole opinion on seafood…read more I'm really not a fish person. I just started eating fish maybe a year and a half ago, and before this, I had never even tried sushi. So I'm definitely not a sushi expert, but Tiburon had some of the best seafood I've ever had. Our waitress Moira was fantastic, and she was being assisted by Steve, who was brand new and absolutely amazing. I'll definitely ask to sit in Steve's section whenever I go back. The service overall was excellent. They recommended the Sweet Caroline roll for someone newer to sushi, and it was SO good. I completely understand why it's one of their most popular rolls. I got the halibut fish and chips, which were good, but after trying my friend's mahi over mashed potatoes, I immediately knew that's what I should've ordered because it was incredible. There was also a small issue with my friend's dish, and the manager Megan handled it immediately and brought us espresso martinis, which was such a nice touch. Also, get the Raspberry Kush cocktail. So good. Already can't wait to go back. Definitely going to be one of my summer spots.

On a Sunday afternoon I walked into the restaurant. There was no host or staff to greet us at the…read moredoor. For a fairly good sized restaurant they seemed really understaffed. I just saw one server and one bartender. We had to wait a while for drink orders and even longer to order food. Despite arriving 30 minutes prior to brunch ending and confirming with our waitress we could still order brunch--she kept avoiding our table and then told us it was too late for brunch. The service was terrible but the food is good. I didn't love having to go to the bar to order my friend a drink who arrived a few minutes after the rest of the party. The bartender wouldn't help me either. It was frustrating as someone who has worked in bars and restaurants to see everyone else get their food and drinks before us. The waitress clearly was not familiar with the menu and got our orders wrong. They weren't that busy so it was super annoying that all the tables who arrived after us were being waited on and eating first. Probably won't return based on this experience even though it's a nice place to eat.

We opted to sit downstairs as this was our first time visiting and that was a little bit of a mistake as it was very cold with the door opening frequently. Our server came over promptly however she kept wanting us to order everything at once drinks, apps and entrees so I did feel a little rushed to make decisions. The service was fairly slow to receive our food and we never received a refill that we asked for on our drink. Which is why I opted for 4* for the review. Bar drinks Smoked old fashioned smelled amazing and is lit table side. Very strong and warm. Raspberry drink that I can't remember the name of but it was amazing and smooth not to sweet just right The food however was really good. The gyozas are the perfect mix of friend and steamed with a good balance of mix inside. I had the birria ramen. The meat was tender and flavorful. The noodles paired well with the meat. Broth was flavorful. I did add some hot sauce to it table side for an extra kick. Hubby ordered the spicy chicken ramen with a seasoned egg at the spicy level but could have went with a little more of kick so he added on spice table side as well. Chicken was tender. The broth was flavorful. The egg was cooked perfectly with the yolk just barely done inside. Would have liked to had more chicken as the portion was a bit small. The temp of broth was edible not so hot that you can't enjoy it We done one meal as a combo and had the Tokyo curry and salad to share. The salad was very plain and not much dressing. The curry on the other hand was delicious and the sticky rice was perfect We signed up for rewards and received a free mochi ice cream chocolate flavored. It was very good. One of the best I've had and I don't typically like mochi ice cream. Overall decent experience with the food.

First off, the house wings are to die for. Perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and easily some of the best wings I've ever had. But the real star? The pizza. Hands down the best pizza I have ever eaten--authentic wood-fired perfection with an incredible crust and fresh, high-quality toppings. And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, the gelato hit the spot perfectly. Smooth, rich, and the ideal way to end an already amazing meal. If you're anywhere near here, do yourself a favor and go. I'd make the trip again in a heartbeat.

It also seemed like they handle a lot of online orders. The server greeted me right away and got me seated quickly. I ordered water, garlic bread, and the wood-fired wings. I really enjoyed both. The garlic bread was flavorful, and the wings were done well. My only small critique is that I wish the food had come out hotter, as everything was more on the lukewarm side. Overall, it's a great spot with excellent customer service and good food. I'd definitely come back!
