You do have to make sure you get a reservation, which can be tricky but if you do it's worth it. There is a time limit on the reservation, but there's plenty of time for you to enjoy a couple drinks and take in the atmosphere. It's a really small spot, but the vibes are strong. They give you popcorn to munch on while you sip your drinks and the noise of the upstairs is completely drowned out. I highly recommend checking this place out.

The bar has a historic nostalgic feel to it and no one under 21 is allowed in. I really enjoyed the staff. They were friendly, welcoming and helpful. You will find a small dining area with a bar with seating inside. The dining area booths are reserved for parties of two or more. So, I ended up sitting at the bar. They do have a digital juke box that had music playing throughout the bar. There are also televisions above the bar to watch. The bar has a limited menu, that includes tenderloin, salad, grilled cheese, chicken tenders, and poppers. But all you need to know is that they are known for their burgers. So, I ordered a burger with fries. It was prepared fresh and took about 15 minutes to have ready. The fries were good and the burger was juicy, tasty and delicious. It definitely lived up to the hype. Being that it is a bar, they have the full spectrum of adults drinks and also have a wide assortment beer and signature cocktails. This place is definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

We ordered the jalapeno mac and cheese bites--those were my favorite! And since I'm a truffle fan--I ordered the ham and truffle sliders. But this was the only thing I didn't enjoy. A toasted ham sandwich with garlic aoli, and a very sweet jam. The flavors did not go together at all!

They had the door open, which was letting in the fresh almost-spring air.) Drinks are pretty much all they have at Snug, to be honest. Don't visit thinking you're going to find a meal, because they don't have a lot of food beyond locally made hand pies and empanadas, a grazing board, and something called Snug Nuts. (Which brings to mind certain ... images.) I didn't get any food, just a Road & Coke, which is a whiskey with a Coke and lime, similar to a Cuba libre, although a Cuba uses rum. It was delicious, but a little light on the booze. It was only $5 and change, though, so it's kind of like what do you expect, really. It was a nice drink to sip slowly while I sat in the small, cozy bar. Speaking of bar aesthetics: Snug lives up to its name. It's tiny and dark but inviting. It feels like stepping into a hug. A hug that can also provide you with copious amounts of Irish whiskey, which sounds like the best kind of hug, to me.

High praise for the salmon cakes, marinara meatball appetizer, ribeye sliders, french onion soup, and nightly special (a beef filet with mashed potatoes and broccolini). My lobster bisque was flavorless, and my chorizo fried rice consisted of hard little pieces of chorizo, a few tiny shrimp, and some nickel sized scallops. The rice was really chewy and the flavor was saved by the vegetables. The water had a chlorine taste so I ordered a coke, which also tasted of chlorine. While my dinner was disappointing, my friends all enjoyed their meals. The menu is just the right size with a variety of starters, salads, and entrees. The ambiance is great and they offer patio dining. The framed history of the building is displayed on the walls, and it looks like a great venue for special events.

New Chef. New Menu. New Concept. Time to update. We went to Up Cellar last night after an…read moreexhausting couple of days. We had a spectacular dinner at the hands of the new chef, Nicholas Murray. His concept is that starters and salads are meant to be shared. With the proteins, maybe not, although each was ample and could have been shared. We started with the Ahi Tuna Toast, Ahi Tuna on toast with heirloom tomatoes and fennel on a piece of sourdough toast. That was an excellent start to our dinner. Our other starter was a Stracciatella, orange supreme, candied pistachios, basil and olive oil panino. This, we thought, was an outstanding dish. Neither filled us so that we could not go on. We then moved to a caprese salad - unlike any caprese we had ever had. Again, heirloom tomatoes, pieces of mozzarella, pangrattato (a traditional Italian condiment made from breadcrumbs toasted in olive oil with garlic and herbs) basil and mixture of balsamic and soy. So delicious. From here, my spouse and I diverged. She ordered the half chicken. Chef Thomas Keller (famous for The French Laundry) believes that a properly roasted bird is a definitive benchmark for professional capability. The reason is because there is no place to hide. Achieving crispy golden skin with completely succulent, non-dry meat requires precise control over heat and timing. Chicken easily dries out and turns bland. My spouse's chicken WAS PERFECT! The skin was crispy but the meat was succulent, even the breast! Clearly, Chef Nick has mastered this deceptively simple dish. It was likely the best chicken we have had in a restaurant (or home). I ordered the trout (a butterflied rainbow trout) served over a white bean puree, butter beans and with an optional salsa verde. I opted against the salsa verde because the trout did not need it. Finally, a word about the desserts. I ordered something called "Liquid Nutella" served with a hazelnut crisp and an in-house vanilla gelato. Oh my. This dish was decadent and resembled most a molten lava chocolate cake. I am not ashamed to say that except for tastes I graciously gave my spouse, I at the whole thing! Chef Nick also urged that we try his key lime pie. We did, but given my predilection to hazelnuts and chocolate, the Liquid Nutella was my winner. Chef Nick has spent the last 20 or so years away from Indianapolis and its environs honing his skills at Beaker & Gray in Miami and Eleven Madison Park in NYC among other places. We are glad he has decided to come back home.

Ann's has been in my radar for years. The little cafe off the Square is always packed with locals…read more Ann's claims to be the oldest restaurant in Franklin, opening in 1952. The cafe is now owned by Diane, Ann's daughter. The tables are packed tightly together, but we were happy to get the last seats in the house. Nostalgic photos of Franklin cover the walls. The place is loud but with a great positive energy. People are small-town friendly and talk between tables as they enjoy their biscuits and gravy. We cajoled with two regulars who told funny stories. Our server, Gill, was quick to the table and friendly. He checked on us several times to see if we needed anything. The menu is a mix of traditional breakfast options, sandwiches, salads and wraps. Prices are reasonable. Food came out quickly. My husband ordered their hand breaded tenderloin with fries. The tenderloin was massive with a great browned breading, served on a Kaiser roll. The pork was tender and juicy. It was a perfect tenderloin, worthy of the Indiana Tenderloin Trail. The hand-cut fries are lightly breaded, crispy and hot. There was an up-charge for the fries, but they were so good and worth it. It was rainy outside, so I had a bowl of the daily soup - broccoli cheddar. The soup was hot, thick, creamy with lots of broccoli and cheese and stuck to my ribs. My soup was served with packs of saltines. Free street parking is available if you're lucky to grab a spot. Well worth the drive to Franklin. Ps. They are closed Saturday and Sunday!
