I made reservations to bring my daughter here yesterday for her 3rd birthday. We were welcomed by staff and by our servers (she was training a new girl). They were both so welcoming and friendly and helpful. Towards the end of our meal, our server brought over some "pixie dust" for my daughter to blow and make a wish. That was cute. Overall, our experience was great. I will say, the outdoor patio would be nicer if the windows were shut and there was more airflow. Sitting out there in 90* weather was not pleasant. The food was good, next time I will probably just order apps or sides for my daughter as she basically wasted her $13 sandwich. We purchased cake to-go and plan to enjoy those slices this evening. We will be back, but we hope to sit indoors next time!

The ambience inside is very nice, but on a hot day sitting on the patio is really warm. We also got put at a table where there was not much room at all. Both of our backs were up against walls and you had to slide to get into the seat and couldn't pull out the chair basically at all because of the walls. Not comfortable. Our server was nice but not too attentive. We had a long wait in between ordering drinks and ordering food and then getting food. We started at the bar because we got there early and should have just stayed there instead of going to a table. The bartender was much more attentive. Also the drinks are very overpriced, but we knew that going into it.

It’s 2022 and I can’t believe the racial tension felt at this restaurant. Never again will I dine there . I felt so unwelcome . It was my daughter 6th birthday and I wanted her feel special but due to the ambiance it was the opposite. Food was alright. Drinks were too sour . I also witnessed a colored family like myself be seated in two different tables in the same room. They weren’t next to each other . They were across from each other they were sat separately across the room from each other . It’s so Ridiculous how they couldn’t be seated next to each other when the the front part of the restaurant was completely empty! I understand they could have been saved for reservations but the employee who is in charge of seating arrangements should make better decisions. Also where is the diversity in their employees . Not one single person of color works there.

Hello, if possible, could you call us at 317-257-2253 to learn more about your experience? We would like to know the server's name and if a manager came to your table. After speaking with our Managers and staff on duty yesterday, we have answers to your feedback. This group had two reservations, and they asked to have the adults and children in the group sit at their own tables, and we accommodated it. We hope to speak with you soon.

I had the ham and brie sandwich which was outstanding! I loved the decor, the colors, and the roses, but my experience took a nose dive when we ordered dessert. Your desserts are beautiful to look at, but impossible to eat. Dessert portions are way too big, and overall way too sweet. Please consider offering smaller portions and reduce the sugar content. I had the Marie Antoinette, and even though smaller in size than your cake portions, it was too big and way too sweet. Will I be back? Yes, but I will not order dessert again. Thank you for considering!

Everything was great per usual, but we were all disappointed to learn that they were not serving brunch foods even though the digital menu showed brunch on our day during the time we were there.

It was a wonderful time to go. The patio was slightly chilly but I was expecting it to be hot with the way the weather has been.

My family, including the teen boyfriends like going here for special occasions. The BF loves the burger + fries, the girls love the pasta, crabcakes, 12-layer club, and ALL the desserts. Highly recommend it for any special occasion. Meal + drink + dessert plan on about $50 a person with tip.
