Mex Master: Nada Review
With a fun vibe and vibrant decor, Nada offers its own interpretation of Mexican cuisine.
Fresh Canvas: A Review of Vida
When the food is this attractive, every bite is preceded by a moment of hesitation, if only to admire all those intentional squiggles of sauce and microgreen halos before the plate turns into chaos.
FoxGardin Kitchen & Ale
No. 15 - Of all the unexpected places Indy’s ever-expanding food scene took us this year, we never figured on Main Street Fortville as the location for a rollicking comfort-food pub with a lighthearted yet sophisticated soul.
Union 50
No. 16 - Union 50 proves that when you have a menu adventurous enough to offer a smear of roasted bone marrow alongside fish and chips with powdered vinegar, you don’t have to follow the standard rules of engagement.
The Oceanaire Seafood Room
No. 17 - Don’t save Oceanaire just for special occasions. Hot appetizers such as the generous crab cake or the rich and savory shrimp and grits make for a great weeknight meal with a salad and a glass of wine.
Peterson’s
No. 18 - It takes some diligence to maintain a spot on this list after 17 years. Peterson’s, which has been dishing up elegant surf and turf in its clubby, dark-paneled dining room since the dawn of gourmet mac and cheese, also has a lock on consistency.
The Garden Table
No. 19 - Young Broad Ripplians, still dewy from hot yoga refuel at this fresh-faced juice bar and brunch kitchen.
Public Greens
No. 20 - What has been most fun about Public Greens is how Patachou, Inc.’s most conscientious, improvisational offering is always changing to follow the seasons.
Spoke & Steele
No. 21 - Spoke & Steele brings a new level of bespoke dining to downtown's Le Meridien hotel.
Napolese Pizzeria
No. 22 - Napolese has one not-so-secret weapon that elevates this menu above the rest: Patachou, Inc.’s executive chef Tyler Herald.
