Great! And they stuck to that- we were seated on time, but then the issues started. We were sat at the same time as another table of 4 next to us. We got our menus and put our drinks in... and then waited, and waited... I got a hot chocolate that wasn't even hot when I sipped it, and tasted pretty bland. My friends got coffees that they liked, but our waitress seemed so annoyed to be working there! She was very curt and I understand if you're busy, but maybe try for some customer service... We ordered our food (as did the table next to us) and waited soooo long, like 30+ minutes, and we were considering flagging down the wait staff to ask about it, but our waitress never seemed to even be around to ask questions... anyway, we finally got the food, and it was tasty, but I just don't think I would bother with this place again.

I have no idea if there is a market segment that can be described as "fancy Denny's". Walking into…read morethis clean, bright place I knew it was a chain (there is something just a bit sterile about these places) so I know that consistency would abide. I got a Portuguese Skillet, the wife got her normal scrambled eggs well done, sausage, potatoes and toast. My skillet (hash browns, Chouriçoa sausage, scrambled egg, chopped peppers) came with an option of pancakes, they were good but I could have skipped them- that Skillet is filling! Everything was prepared well, came out pretty quickly. Our server, Ruth, was polite and effective. She engaged at just the right amount to make us feel welcome, without hovering. It's not inexpensive, but I do think fairly priced for today's economics, we spent $40-ish. If we lived near one of these would likely come in from time to time.

I ordered the veggie frittata and a latte. The portion was honestly much bigger than I expected, which was a nice surprise. Both the food and the latte were really enjoyable. Unfortunately, since I was on a work trip, I couldn't take the leftovers with me--otherwise I definitely would have. I'd happily visit again if I'm ever back in the area.

One of my longtime go-to brunch spots in Indy has been Milktooth, and I'm happy to report the…read morerecent transition to "Arleen's" hasn't changed the things I've always loved about the place. Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in awhile.

Food was decent. We had a latke, sourdough waffle, bacon,…read moreeggs. Latke and waffle had good flavor. However, the service was terrible. I waited 30 mins for a drip coffee. 45 mins for the cortado. I personally think our order was probably not put in and forgotten.

Stopped in Indy for a couple days and heard Tupelo is amazing so of course I had to check it out…read more As soon as I stepped in, the nature-inspired vibes from the hanging flowers and plants everywhere mixed with the stylish decor really impressed me. I was seated quickly at the bar and the bartenders at that time were great and punctual and making sure I got a menu and everything else I needed. I definitely appreciated that they weren't constantly approaching me, but they read my cues with knowing when I was ready to order or needed something. I was really pleased with the service that I received. The menu had a mixture of American comfort food as well as classic Southern dishes. I took several glances at the food other were ordering and they all looked so appealing and appetizing. I decided to order something that I haven't tried anywhere else, so I ordered the Southern Shakshuka, which is their own unique spin-off to the original. The meal comprised of a base of creamy cheesy grits topped with a somewhat rich layer of roasted tomatoes and vegetables and poached eggs. OMG it was amazing and so flavorful! If you are ever in the area definitely stop by this place!!

It was causal with almost a fine dining flair. The decor was nice and the color pallet was calming. The ambiance could not have been any better. The food was delicious. I had the chicken and waffles. The flavor was amazing and the crispness of the chicken was perfect. My family got the half bird with fries. The fries were crisp and soft at the same time. Id return with no hesitation.

I ordered the hungry boy with a side of shredded hash browns. It was good, I just wished it had been hot. It was not even warm. My only other suggestion is maybe ask the customer if they want powdered sugar on their French toast or pancakes...I honestly don't like it but it also wasn't listed they add it on the menu in the description. Most places will ask you especially if it's not listed on the menu. Had the waitress asked that I would have opted to not have it otherwise it was a good breakfast for the cost. Amanda was nice and attentive. I appreciate that. The young lady at the register was friendly as we checked out. This is a one and done considering I don't live near here it was just a meeting place my friend picked.

First time at First Watch and I'm now wishing I lived in Indy. Oh my goodness!!!…read more We brought a large group in for breakfast and were seated within five minutes. Our server was friendly and efficient in taking our orders, bringing drinks, and bringing food. The menu had typical pancakes, eggs, and sides but many had a southwestern theme including carne asada, chorizo, peppers, etc. I had the biscuits with turkey gravy. These were the BEST biscuits I've ever had at a restaurant. Oh my!!! So flaky and buttery and the gravy was rich and peppery. You couldn't tell that this wasn't sausage gravy. Everyone's food was delicious and beautifully presented. Prices were very reasonable as well. I would highly recommend that you try First Watch if you are in downtown Indy.

She brought my food but didn't come back and see if I needed anything (hot sauce, additional napkins, more coffee) or ask if my order was correct. She also didn't offer me the option to check-out from the table. She said " you check out at the front register). I left a 18% tip but I was slightly disappointed. Not the waitress fault but they didn't have chicken sausage, my favorite.

The lighting over the tables are oval shaped as an egg and the inner parts of the light resemble an egg yolk. Cute play on the theme. Our server was very friendly so that was a good start. I had the southwestern salad with buffalo chicken. It had corn and tortilla strips (which I left off), black beans, cheddar cheese, tomatoes and bleu cheese dressing. It was super fresh and very flavorful. The chicken actually had a good buffalo flavor which many claim to have but don't. We also tried the Nutella crepes with bananas, strawberries, whipped cream and Nutella. In addition to being very large, it had a great taste and was very fresh. Another hit for sure. The avocado toast with salmon was really good. The flavors were spot on and as with the other food, very fresh and well prepared. The brisket burger patty melt was also done perfectly. The brisket patty was a perfect medium and the onions were grilled just right. We opted for mayonnaise instead of the Thousand Island dressing it comes with. The other dressing may have been good but the mayo really paired well. Finally, the club sandwich was again prepared perfectly. Fresh meat, perfectly toasted bread (some places under toast and many over toast) - it was quite tasty. The French fries were fried so that they were crispy (but not overdone) on the outside but soft inside. We were very pleased with The Yolk and would definitely return if we come back to town in the future!

I also got a side of egg whites, but they were cooked in that butter spray and didn't taste fresh. The cheesy grits were OK but not very flavorful. I also got a Matcha, but it was pretty watery about a two out of five stars. I will note that the service was good and the staff was friendly.

Perfect amount of spices and heat. I would like to come back and try the vegan nachos. The restaurant is designed like a diner. Nice atmosphere. Throwback music.
