    Corn chowder
    Mark E.

    Had Sunday lunch. Any food I've had here has been delicious. We started with the shrimp appetizer, st Elmo shrimp appetizer. I love the cocktail sauce. I also ordered the corn bisque, it's sooooo good. I don't think you're supposed to lick the bowl, but if it was acceptable, this is worth it. For my meal, I ordered the fish tacos with the street corn as the side. Some places, the street corn isn't very good, but here, they cut the corn off and with the seasonings, they bake it with serrano peppers. It gives it a unique flavor and some heat. I ate all the corn before I touched a taco!!! I was beginning to get full, so I ate one fish tacos(it's fried cod) with sliced avacado, aioli sauce and pico. It's also very good!!! The service was amazing the entire time we were there. It wasn't overly noisy, though it was full of diners.

    St. Elmo Shrimp Cocktail
    Dustin G.

    Was in the area to attend a concert at the Fishers Event Center, and had a recommendation to try The HC Tavern & Kitchen. They were quite busy, but even with no reservation we still were seated fairly quickly. My dining partner wanted the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer given the restaurant's connection to St Elmo's. It came with 4 shrimp and the St Elmo's famous horseradish cocktail sauce. The shrimp could have been a bit bigger, or came with more but the sauce did not disappoint. I decided to treat myself and have the filet, which came with horseradish seasoned mashed potatoes. I opted for sautéed mushrooms as a steak topper. Meat was cooked perfectly and was absolutely amazing. Mashed potatoes were good. My dining partner opted for the salmon and likewise said it was prepared exactly as it should be and was very flaky and tasty. This dish also came with the mashed potatoes. We also opted for a shareable side of the street corn, which was creamy and very tasty. Finally we shared a piece of cheesecake which my dining partner said was some of the best she has had. Service was excellent. Parking was easy given the location and just steps away from the door. Atmosphere was nice and not too loud for a good conversation.

    Shrimp dumplings

    I dined in for dinner and mainly ate appetizers and had wine. Great ambiance, not too loud, present server, and REALLY GOOD appetizers. The sauce for the calamari? So good. The dumplings and the sauce? SOOO good. The lobster cargot?! Such a creative dish and really delicious. I ended up taking the short rib dinner home to share with my 4 year old and it was really good. Maybe just a bit overdone on the outside but still good and tender on the inside. And I took the shrimp dish to my mother and was able to swap out the pasta for one that was more like a spaghetti. She liked it! I didn't get to try it. I'll definitely be back! Especially for the appetizers.

    $19 Tavern Club + $4 Street Corn
    Trent N.

    Mom & I come here every Xmas. I love the food and drinks here, plus it is pretty close to our house. The only downside is sometimes it is hard to find parking here, but on this night we found a spot with ease. This restaurant is a part of the Huse Culinary family of brands which includes: St. Elmo Steak House 1933 Lounge by St. Elmo Harry & Izzy's If there's one thing you HAVE to do is order the $14 Wagyu Corn Dogs. This app is literally my favorite app to eat at any restaurant anywhere. Nothing says Indiana like some seriously delicious corn dogs. On this night, I also tried a $16 espresso martini. It was spot on. Highly recommend one from here. It has to be up there on the Indy drink scene. For an entre I had the $19 tavern club and $4 street corn. I think they shrunk the size of the tavern club since last year, but it was still good. The street corn is another show stopper. I love great corn. You can only get corn like this in Indiana. The restaurant is beautiful and decorated for Xmas. I always come here when I'm home in Indy over the holidays!

    Bermuda Triangle
    Sarah M.

    I met a couple of friends here a few nights ago for dinner and drinks and had a really fun time. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. All of the staff who served us during our time there were courteous and accommodating. The bathrooms were sparkling clean. The food and drinks were delicious. All around a great girls night out! We started off with cocktails to sip on and catch up. I got the Bermuda Triangle (their version of a paper plane) and it was very yummy. My friends each got the St. Elmo's cola with a Diet Coke and enjoyed those as well and said they are verrry strong. All of us got a classic Caesar salad. I chose to add salmon and so did one friend. Our other friend is a vegetarian, so she got a side of fries to pair with her salad. I also ordered the shrimp cocktail because I love pain and hadn't had one in quite some time. Just as spicy as I remembered it to be and I cried the whole time I ate it, but they were happy tears from the spice of the horseradish. We had specifically chosen HC Tavern + Kitchen to meet at because they offered an espresso martini flight for their devour menu and we knew we'd love it. It did not disappoint! They had a "classic" with vodka, a bourbon, and a tequila espresso martini and all of them were super tasty, but surprisingly the tequila was my favorite of the 3 (bow tie martini with orange peel). We thought about going somewhere else for a night cap to end the evening, but it was so cold out and nearby businesses all had similar hours anyway, so we decided to stay put and each had a couple more cocktails. I ordered Mai Tais so I could reminisce on my time in Barbados this time last year. My friends ordered lemon drops and French 75s. All were very tasty and lasted through close while we caught up since we'd last seen each other a few weeks prior. The only downsides were that I felt like the food was priced too high for what we got ($14 for that Caesar salad was ridiculous and then it was an additional $14 for the salmon) and parking is a nightmare for that entire shopping/dining area. If you are lucky enough to quickly find parking, then everything is pretty walkable and there are lots of other businesses nearby to visit and make it a fun evening out.

    Service was very good. The food was average. The ambience was excellent. For those that don't know it's part of St Elmo's and 1933 Lounge

    I went in for cocktails a few days ago with my boyfriend. It was very busy but we found a spot at the bar. I was seated next to a woman who had been cut off by management and was being very belligerent toward the bartender. It was a bit uncomfortable because she was swearing and being a bit hostile. However, the bartender (Johnathan, I think) was doing his best to keep her calm. Despite a full bar and multiple drink orders, he greeted us promptly and got us menus. We ordered our drinks and he gave us the first round on the house due to having to wait a bit. We had only planned to get a single drink lol but we obviously ordered another round after that. He was very professional and friendly and gave stellar service. I had the Liquid Love Affair which is one of my faves from there - anything with passion fruit is a go-to for me. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the Madteani and may even prefer it. It was light and refreshing and I loved the cardamom. Absolutely delicious! My boyfriend ordered a Manhattan and a Rhinegeist beer both of which he really liked. I tried the Rhinegeist, too, and though I don't love beer, thought it was mild and easy to drink.

    Great service! Large variety of adult beverages made the group very happy. Part of the St Elmo family, HC Tavern offers some of the same items, like the Famous Shrimp Cocktail, but makes the experience a bit friendlier for the average pocketbook by offering sandwich and pasta options.

    Classic Benedict

    Over the last couple of months I have visited HC Tavern a couple different times for brunch and everything was delicious! My most recent visit was over the weekend for their Rhythm & Brunch event. While I had a great time, I do wish the music was a bit louder. We were seated upstairs, but I felt that the music was very quiet. Either way, the food was incredible. I've had the cinnamon roll bites, chicken minis, and croque monsieur. I will definitely be returning for more special event brunches. While the meal, with drinks included, was on the higher end of brunch, it was delicious and worth it.

    I was a little apprehensive because I've heard that the food at HC is 'just okay' however sometimes food isn't the only deciding factor for a dining experience (crazy IK). Not only was the food good and the drinks strong, but our server, AMBER, was the star of the show! She was so fun, attentive, and personable. You could really tell she enjoys herself and her hustle. Our appetizers were all so fun and different and something about that Barkeep vodka is just different LOL the burger was more than enough for one and we were celebrating a friends bday and could not have had more fun!!

    In town for the first time--looking for a place to eat with a late kitchen (open until 11!) Staff were very friendly and menu had good variety-we just needed light fare, so unfortunately didn't have dishes they raved about. We enjoyed a smalldinner, and had great drinks. Ambience was dark; it appeared would be a good place for adults to meet or groups of people or even a quiet date. Children were present, but more up-scale than child-friendly. A bit on the pricey side, but able to find a meal that satisfied all.

    I placed a to-go order this past Friday, and I was thoroughly underwhelmed. A better word might be disappointed. Knowing that this restaurant is part of the Huse Culinary Group lead me to feel confident in my choice. I picked them over Cava and wound up regretting it. I ordered the crab cake slider (8/10) and it was pretty good. I wished that it had more remoulade and that the crab cake was just slightly thicker/more substantial. I also ordered the house salad with fried chicken added. They neglected to provide me with any salad dressing, and because this was my lunch and I was returning to the office, I was unable to eat the salad until I got home. By then, the croutons were soggy, and the entire experience really just frustrated me. I also ordered the Blueberry Lemon Cobbler. It was oddly presented. Rather than putting it in a cup similar to the one that the ice cream was served in, it was smeared along the bottom of a regular to-go container with chunks of the topping somewhat strewn about. I'm sure that someone on their team could think of a better way to present this for a to-go order. It was not at all appetizing. I know that to-go orders can be hit or miss, but not giving me dressing for my salad, the main portion of my meal, was a major miss. I will try them again in a dine-in setting, but my expectations have been greatly decreased.
