Restaurants near Friedmann Park

The Meridian has a neighborhood feel but with class. The ambiance is good for celebratory dinners for a group or an intimate dinner for two. You can expect to be attended to. The reception is warm. And you feel safe in the space and not rushed. Catlin was our server and she was exceptional! What I enjoy most is if you have special dietary needs, they listen and accommodate as best they can, which in my experience has proven to be above my expectations. I would recommend The Meridian to my friends.

This was hands down the most memorable and unique dining experience I have had. I brought my girls, and they were just in awe. If we make it back to Indy, we will absolutely return. Our waitress was so sweet and attentive and really made sure to engage with the girls to make their lunch special. Highly recommend the Baked Fontina Cheese to start, Sparkling Lavender Lemonade, and do not miss the opportunity to try their world-class desserts. Thanks to The Cake Bake Shop for an experience my girls and I will never forget.

Ruth’s Chris is our go to for special occasions for a reason and this visit did not let us down. The food is always outstanding. Tender steaks, fresh salads, and fries as crispy as potato chips. You can’t leave hungry. What makes this place our go to however, isn’t the food. The service is outstanding every single time. Our server, Jimmy, was perfectly attentive. Our drinks never ran dry, our bread never ran out, and he was at our table before we even knew we needed him. He has been our server previously and he delivers consistently phenomenal service that makes us look forward to our next special night out. I can’t recommend Ruth’s Chris highly enough for anyone looking for a fantastic meal in a romantic space with outstanding service.

Happily surprised by our brunch! We heard you go for the vibes…the food is ok…but our experience was quite different…the food was just as fabulous as the esthetics!!!!!! We arrived at the estate and of course were blown away! We explored the showrooms and loved everything we saw. Then we moved to the absolutely gorgeous dinner room!! The styling was impeccable with stunning views. Our server quickly greeted us and was wonderful offering us suggestions and answering our questions. The servers were more than attentive without being overbearing. The food was fabulous! Everyone in my party was blown away with the quality of the food and how quickly it all came out. Our cocktails were also fabulous! We were honestly completely blown away with our experience and are absolutely planning on coming back for dinner. 

Never disappointing! Birthday celebration with family members. We ordered something not on the menu, but had been previously. Rustica and the Carbonara were delicious! Brown Butter cake at the end was divine. You can't go wrong with Ambrosia.
