Environment and food were exceptional. Unfortunately, although our waitress was friendly, I think she may have been overwhelmed and she didn’t check in enough and tended to disappear. Overall, the Oakmont is still a great Indy brunch spot that I recommend.

Our first time there, the view overlooking the city was amazing! Right after Christmas and all the lights were still out…they say it takes about an hour to go fully around but we gathered about 4 hours total.

The aesthetics were very nice, the food was amazing and our waitress Raizel was outstanding. I had the Pancake Tacos and my daughter had the Brie Stuffed French Toast. The pancake was amazing and fluffy, not dense and heavy. It was filled with egg, crumbled sausage, bacon and a little cheese…delicious! My daughter had the Brie Stuffed French Toast with Berries which was a nice mixture of sweet with savory of the Brie! Also quite delicious! Our waitress was friendly and professional, she was attentive without being overbearing. Will definitely be going back and asking specifically for Raizel!
