Reviews of Spoke & Steele (Restaurant)

Jeff Riley

Always good service and check out the boards and soup of the day.

Brianna Van Schaik

Delicious!!

Tamara Rojas

This place is awesome! Best food Ive had in Indianapolis. Small and quant. Food is wholesome and organic. The staff is super friendly and attentive. A precious gem worth checking out.

Nicholas Krause

Food was good, the prices where OK, and the service was below par. Hipster astetic, not my jam but could be for some people.

Gacha_ pizza

Loved it . Cozy place. Staff is awesome. Very polite and helpful.

Brent Cary

Went there for lunch and was phenomenal. I had the porkstrami and it was uhh unique and awesome. Great little place. If you live in Indy and like bourbon need to ask about their small barrels as well.

Gsry Myers

Good food

This place is the best place to get drinks in Indy. The bartender Ethan does an absolutely amazing job with them. The cheese and meat plate is a must try and isn't to get missed. Plus the biscuits are so good it qill makes you wanna slap your mother they are so amazing. Great place to relax after a long day or just enjoy a nice meal. The last thing I would say is that the desserts are equally amazing, but ending with more drinks is the way to go everytime.

Mike Leppert

best cocktails in the city! the bartenders are super nice and mixed the best drink after just asking a few questions about your taste. Awesome and highly recommended!

Aaron Austin

This was our first time at Spoke and Steele and we absolutely loved it. Our server, Baylee, knew her whole way around the menu and knew exactly which wines to pair with mine and my wife’s food. Between the food and the service we will definitely be back.

Kyle Daugherty

Good, unique cocktails

Grace Zugini

When you walk in, it looks like a hip and trendy place. My girlfriend and I, visiting from out of town, sat at a modern booth for two close to the bar. With its fun and attractive aesthetic, we were excited to begin our evening. But you can't always read a book by its cover. We waited at least 15 minutes before we received a menu. Another 25 minutes until we received the bartender (not even a server), who asked if we had been served yet (which we had not). It was clear that we were never assigned a server, and when we finally had to wave someone down, nobody took accountability for the extreme delay in every phase of ordering. After it was clear that they had messed up, a server came and took our order, then the bartender brought us the wrong drinks. We then cancelled our entree orders, knowing that it would probably take another three hours and we would be treated with passiveness and contempt. A deduction on the check or even an apology would've been suitable.

Tom Reuter

Excellent cocktails and entrees. Service was fantastic. Expensive, but worth it.

Augusta Uwah

This place has been on my friends and I want to go list forever. We went early on a Saturday which is typically not busy. After 15 minutes of being purposefully ignored, we got the message and left. I called the waitress out on it and she was pointedly unapologetic eye roll and all Just a day in the life of 2 black girls

Grant Broadhurst

Uninteresting food for the price.

Morgan Crutcher-Smith

Visited Spoke & Steele last night for the first time and I had a fabulous experience. The staff is very down to earth and friendly! It is evident that these individuals are in love with what they have created and they want you to love it as well. The food and cocktails will surely change the way downtown experiences a night on the town.

M Gbertsis

We love the breakfast and lunch at this restaurant and stay at the hotel this restaurant is in looking forward to breakfast! We both had the Hashbrown Chilaquilies. I had mine with scrambled eggs and my husband had it as prepared. It was tasty as usual. Their scrambled eggs are always fluffy and creamy! We want to eat dinner here some evening when we are in Indy again!

Lisa Barnes

Good food, ok service.

Joseph Meyn

Food was good but service was incredibly slow. So if you are heading to a meeting I'd avoid this one.

Jordan Walters

Great atmosphere, good drinks, great board. Steak was cooked really well and seasoned perfectly. We were in a bigger party and half were late. Service was a little slow, but that is to be expected during a busy time and a large party. The server was a really nice guy, seemed to know hos way around the menu really well. Overall, very well done, we'll be back.

Austin White

Delicious food, awesome cocktails, great atmosphere, great staff. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Alan Hosch

It was an incredible lunch experience. Wagyu

Trevor Wylie

Great service, good food. Very professional staff. A bit pricey for what you get, but based on location it was expected.

A Zach

Just fabulous (period).

Brian Mcwilliams

Excellent brunch menu....SHORT RIB!

Samantha Banowetz

We loved this place and will definitely go back next time we visit Indy. The food was amazing, the staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. My husband got a local brew, my parents got well-made whiskey sours and I got the cocktail flight--so fun! I always want to try more than one cocktail but can't drink all of that. The restaurant is beautiful and fits perfectly into the midcentury modern meets warehouse style of the hotel. FYI, you do walk into the hotel front doors to get into the restaurant. Also, for a nice place, they were super kid-friendly and even brought our little one (10 months old) some extra bread to gnosh on.

Shauna Santare

I ate here twice while staying at le Meridien. We had a group of 5 the first morning and I didn't notice the slow service because the hostess was great and filled in for the frazzled servers and bartenders. We all enjoyed our food and drinks. Day 2, I sat at the bar and ordered ToGo so i noticed the workers struggle. They didn't seem trained to handle busy crowds or supported by management when they ran out of something. It seemed like there were 6 employees there but only 1 working.

Richard Harrison

S&S is emblematic of the resurgent dining options within the Circle City. Tight, forward menu with a great bar scene, this would be five stars if greater consistency came from the kitchen.

Josh R. Falcon

Stylish, Classy, and Inviting. Must visit. The "Nugs" are a must. The home made sauce is Outstanding. Johnny, Adam, and Patrick are Great. Always going above and beyond to make sure each visit is more pleasant than the last.

Scott McKaig

We were here for a rehearsal dinner tasting, so the experience was certainly different than a normal drink or dinner date, but I cannot say enough good things. Everyone is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about both drink and food menus. From bartender created signature cocktails to a barrelling room on-site, there are a number of features that you won't find anywhere else in Indy. We will certainly be back in the future!

Seth Brown

Great meal! Service was phenomenal. Cocktails were perfect.

Sean Banks

Amazing food and drinks. I loved their barrel aged cocktails. The staff were fantastic and the decor was incredible.

Scott Simpson

Its ok

Tyrell Lowther

Spoke and Steele delivered a fantastic celebration with respectful customer service, daring signature cocktails, delicious food. Comfortable. Smoke and spice, Last Word, Bugatti road kill are cocktails that are worth the trip to Indianapolis. Kale salad with French fried scallions best first course. Be sure to try the perfectly prepared pork chop (we are in Indiana), or the duck breast. The best part was Chris, Tyler, Zoe, Cameron, Ben's great care of our every need - type of space, volume of music, history of Steve McQueen. We will be back - recommended for any occasion.

Michael Baydoun

We didn't enjoy the food at all. The service however, was excellent.

Gary Duque

Always fresh and they give you your money's worth even if it is a little high. You will not believe this level of authenticity and quality is being made and served right here. Sometimes its a long wait but it's worth the WAIT, but the food is Worth it.

S Plekker

I don't normally give 5 stars at any place no matter how good I think it is. But this place has absolutely exceeded my expectations with their food and service. The menu isn't pages long. (Thank goodness). In fact it's short, simple and very direct. The staff is super friendly and very much on point. Not ever have I encountered what many say is to be a "hidden gem", but definitely this place is genuinely just that! I'll be raving over this place for YEARS to come. The staff should expect me to become a regular customer on the weekends. Words can not describe the positive vibes I'm feeling after eating here.

Ted Curtis

Started out good. Appetizer was fine, my salad was good. The crab shrimp salad had hardly any seafood. My scallop main not over cooked. The wife's main was fine. Service went down hill from here. Disappeared on us for awhile. We ordered a poppy seed cake for desert, and a nice 10 year port for me. The desert was terrible. Either miked, or a free days old. Cold in the middle, super dry. Waiter disappeared again, never got my port. No attempt at fixing this.

Brian Burkett

Easy beer selection for an out of towner. After further review I found this is a more 'upscale' establishment that I found after a run to the location for Zombie Dust. Very accommodating and great staff thanks guys!!!

Elizabeth Peotter

Great breakfast! Had the pork belly benedict. Hotel restaurants are a roll of the dice, but this was a successful roll. Really helpful and nice staff as well as super clean with fast service.

Alec Shreve

Chilaquiles were absolutely fantastic. Best breakfast I've ever had

j Silk

Not sure how or why this place is ranked so high, and it also diminishes my hope for accuracy in local dining reviews. I’m afraid if the people of Indy like this place, we are in for a long week here. The beef and noodle bowl looked like dishwater sink trappings and tasted as so. The salmon was served on white rice and what looked like Del Monte canned veggies. Oysters were the smallest most mal nourished oysters I’ve ever had. And last but not least, the burger was bloody in the middle. Disappointed would be the nicest way of putting it. I actually feel for the chef in that their life’s work culminates into slop served in a relatively nice atmosphere. We had a lovely 2nd meal at Hooters afterwards.

Tobias McCurry

My go to bar in Indianapolis for artisan cocktails. The bartenders here understand what goes into a drink, and aren't afraid to find something to accommodate your pallet and tastes!

Jeff Warvel

Spent the night at the updated Le Meridien. Great bar with some interesting drinks. Dinner was good, but not fantastic. Certainly some highlights on the menu are great, but others were just ok. Probably not a place a would seek out with all the other options downtown. One word of warning : Avoid the breakfast. Very disappointing. Barely edible and certainly not worth the $$.

Kai S

The wait staff was friendly and the food was great!

Jeremy O

Overall good food with nice ambience. On the pricier side but worth it for the quality of the food. Service was also very good.

Jimmy Gagnon

I love this place. I go every time I'm in Indianapolis. Food and beer and cocktails are all top notch. AND the decor and staff are all snazzy and nice.

Everett Gossard

Along with a friend, ordered the five-item charcuterie plate, wagyu burger (side of malt chips), nugs sandwich (side of pickled vegetables), and lemon blueberry custard for dessert. Everything was outstanding. I could use as many superlatives as I could think of and not be able to express how much I enjoyed this meal.

Matthew Lincoln

Truly unique dining experience, with excellent service. AWESOME. From cocktails to appetizers to the meal and then desert, everything was interesting and the server knowledgeable and just cool. Best dining experience of the year!!

Corlis Potts

Food is good

Valentin Gru

It's a very nice location and atmosphere. Food is solid, but not necessarily up to what's expected when reading the menu. The service is nice.

Brian McQueen

Great place for a date night. The decor is upscale and well done. The service is excellent. The food is great tasting. My wife and I were first introduced to Spoke & Steele at a Yelp event where Tyler showed us how they make their own spirits and how people can be a part of the spirit making. It intrigued us. So, this year we finally had the chance to visit the restaurant during Devour Downtown. It was a great experience. Our service was excellent. The waiter had tried everything on the menu and was able to give helpful suggestions. Based on what we ordered, we felt he was right on! We really enjoyed the food - both in taste and in decoration. I had the Goldenrod Eggs, Slow-cooked Scottish Salmon and for dessert - the Espresso Budino. My wife had the Meat & Cheese starter, Roast Chicken and Black forest for dessert. The spirits - we tried three of the spirit drinks designed by Tyler. Wow they were great. I loved my Le Mans Rough Rider. She had the Smoke and Spice - where the drink glass really is filled with smoke. I tried it as well - hard to say which was better - probably hers. For dessert I had a drink with the name "roadkill" in it. It was good - just cannot remember it's name. For parking we parked on the street - but you could park across the street at the mall parking garage - convenient.

Paul Edwards

We had the soup and sandwich combos and split a carrot cake. So from soup to nuts this is a great place!

c2sealy .

Wide beer selection and interesting original dishes

rksdbeal .

Great little pub

Kizzy Mason

Hash Brown Chilaquiles / $12....loved it!!

Jared Campbell

It's somewhere you can spend enough money to feed an entire African village for a day or two. But don't let that stop you from going to find the trick door back in the corner by the kitchen. It's a portal that saves you a lot of walking to get to the restroom.

Jack Estes

Great bartenders, dig the decor

Clint Hodge

Excellent lunch menu and prices! Mac and cheese was better than most

Brandi Ledet

Fabulous food that just kept coming

Mandie Kramer

Superb!

Wylie Gerrard

I'm torn regarding this review. It's like A Tale of Two Restaurants. It was the best of experiences preceded by the worst of experiences. I initially sat at the bar because I was a single diner and didn't want to tie up a table. I asked for a food menu and confirmed I could order food at the bar. The female bartender took my cocktail order, my drink was made and delivered, then both she and the redheaded male bartender put significant effort into avoiding eye contact, distancing themselves from me, and effectively ignoring me for the next half hour. Finally, after my glass had been empty for ten minutes, the male bartender came over and asked if he could get me anything. I said "I was hoping to have ordered some food after I sat down, but no one has come by to check on me, my glass has been empty for 10 minutes, and neither of you have even made eye contact with me." He replied "We're busy, if you wanted something you should speak up!" I replied "Well if that's the case I think I'm done here. I'll go somewhere else to spend my money." His response - " Good!" The person sitting next to me looked at me with his mouth open, shocked at the exchange, and said "that's pretty lousy customer service." I paid my bill and stepped away from the bar, then asked the hostess if I could speak to the manager. The manager came out and I told her of my experience with the bartender and she was very apologetic. She asked me if I would possibly consider staying for dinner, and said she would set me up with her best server and make sure I had a great experience. I was apprehensive, but decided to accept her offer and was seated away from the bar. My server's name was Tara, and she was wonderful. I ordered the seared sea bass,and Tara commented that it was her favorite dish. I was also comped a plate of shashito peppers, and the chef, Erin, came out and introduced herself to me. She said she had heard about my experience at the bar, and wanted to make sure that everything with the meal was to my liking. She explained the shishido pepper dish and we discussed the preparation of the sea bass dish; she was very engaging. The food was amazing! I was very satisfied with this part of my experience. This would have been an excellent dining experience if it hand't been overshadowed by the abysmal service and exchange at the bar. The bar is often where people start their experience at a restaurant, and allowing someone like that bartender to be in a position to set the tone for the overall experience can be dangerous, and can pull down what would have otherwise been a great experience.

Zach Thralls

Great brunch spot!

Danny Albertson

The food and drinks were very good.The tables were so close together that it took away from the overall experience.

Thomas Rosario

Went there twice, first experience was good, service and food were on point the second time it was a loooong lunch, during a not busy time, the staff were in the back talking, not sure why it took 45 minutes to cook a burger, but total lunch time was over an hour and there were only two people in the restaurant. So not many excuses, especially not telling us about the wait. The ironic thing was that we had a table overlooking steak and shake across the street

Joseph Frank

Great place for an anniversary or special occasion

Clement Eneh

Just fine ... limited menu but they serve awesome tasty steak meals

Ricky Muse

Came in for devour...order salad, entree waited 45 min nothing ever came. The place was empty and no excuses for this. Drank water and never even got my salad.

Ron Odle

The charcuterie was delicious. Meats cured in house and homemade pickles were fantastic. The meatball nuggs were tender and fall apart delicious. I had the heritage pork and it was really good, tender, and was accompanied with some really good mashed potatoes and gravy. I am told the cod was really good and I tried some of the hanger steak which was fantastic. Several in my group got cocktails and said they were good. The mojito looked delicious. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very nice. They have a private room with TVs and cameras that can be used for morning meetings. Look for the secret door! Very nice experience.

Carmen Conforme

Good place good time

Ben Steelman

Great spot and will be back next trip through Indy. Try the burger!

Brian Harkless

Went here during Gencon 2015 and they had a dedicated themed menu, this year, nothing. It is so disappointing to have found a small restaurant that was so excited to participate in the past, but have now lost the spirit of the weekend. The had themed food like Pulled Orc sandwiches. AND IT WAS SO GOOD.

Nancy Koester

One of the best restaurants I have eaten at downtown! Every dish was delicious ranging from the potstickers, scallops, angel food cake, and more! Don't even ask me to pick my favorite dish, it would be impossible! Just when I thought I couldn't eat any more, my party and I devoured even more delicious desserts!! The atmosphere, service, and creative food options made for a fun environment, and the food was the perfect match! Our waiter, Eric, was very attentive, helping us with whatever we needed! I will definitely be back, and I would recommend to anyone searching for a fun and tasty place to eat!

Jennifer Rutherford

Just went for cocktails. ..outstanding!

KRG29

My family and I went here for my dads birthday. It was AMAZING! the food was FANTASTIC! Our waitress, Baylee, was very kind and helpful! I would definitely come here again and I would recommend this place to anyone who is ready to party!

Cassie Haynes

The full board charcuterie is outstanding!

Steve Chepp

Awesome high end dining. The staff was amazing and was completely willing to modify any dish on menu.

stephanie cradle

An amazing restaurant/lounge with creative and delicious fare. The specialty drink menu is one to be explored. The two gentlemen behind the bar are fantastic. Please go visit this place.

Paul Seigle

One of our favorites!

Christopher Park

I didn't have high expectations going in, but this restaurant was fantastic. The waiter was knowledgeable about the menu, and had plenty of recommendations for everyone at the table (possibly too many). The artisan cocktails are good, and certainly different. The waiter recommended trying the brussel sprouts, even if you're not a brussel sprout person, and I'm glad we listened. They were cooked with bacon and delicious. We had the tres leche cake for dessert which was also good. There was hardly anyone there on a Wednesday evening, and I highly recommend you check it out.

Chelsea Williams

Great service, food, ambiance, and wine!

Owen Stevens

The most disappointing representation of carbonara I've ever experienced. Pasta tasted like leftovers that had been reheated several times. Shocking quality issues considering the location, price, and competition.

Catherine Usher

Very disappointing brunch at Spoke and Steel. First of all, there were numerous flies in the restaurant. The service was terrible and the food was mediocre at best. We were really looking forward to dining at Spoke and Steel but after our experience today, we will not be returning.

Katie Courtright

Amazing, unique, cocktails.

Kavan Reddy

Big fan of the zombie dust but the smoke and spice pictured below is pretty good too!

Garrett B

Delicious cocktails and even better service.

Austin Graff

Spoke & Steele is the restaurant/bar in the Le Meridien Hotel in downtown Indy. My wife and I went here for a cocktail so this review is just based on that. We didn't order food, but the food did look diverse and interesting. A few notes: 1) Service: Our server was excellent and helpful! 2) Atmosphere: It's romantic and a great spot for a date. 3) Cocktails: They looked impressive, but were just okay. The atmosphere suggests you'll have the best cocktail in your life. We had the bartender make us both custom drinks and they were just okay. Not bad, but not the best we had in Indy.

Damira

Drinks and boards menus were pretty good. I was not impressed by the food, it lacked in flavor although presentation was nice. Additionally, it took far too long for the food and service in between

Alan De La Vega

Very nice and welcoming place, it was pretty good but I didn't love it, had a Paloma which it wasn't great, the Tourist in Manhattan was really good would like to have it again, The half chicken with salad was plentiful but it was a bit dry for my taste, my fiancee really liked her pork chops, wouldn't mind giving a 2nd try or just come back for a drink...

Dalton Mills

My girlfriend and I were in on a busy Wednesday night and Baylee still greeted us within 30 seconds of us sitting down. We were from out of town and had never been here before but Baylee made sure we knew everything about the menu, specials, and answered our questions about the drinks. Despite what looked like a busy night we got everything out in a decent time. My girlfriend and I asked Baylee for suggestions and everything she suggested we loved. She got the scallops and I got the salmon and both were amazing. If I could have Baylee as a server everywhere I traveled to I would because A++ for effort and knowing everything. Star server!

CJ Lintner

I had a business trip here a couple weeks ago and went to breakfast there and Brittany made sure everything was great and was a very attentive person. The next night I came in for dinner and Baylee was my server. She was great and gave me recommendations on everything since I was out of town. Will be back!

Michael Hodsdon

Great service, creative cocktails, delicious appetizers. Don't miss it.

N A

Bar is loud. Seems like a speakeasy style place but the loudness says otherwise. We sat at bar. The drinks are good. Very nice cocktail list. I tried 2 cocktails. One with mezcal and one with whiskey. Both very nice. Also tasted some interesting gin. From the Midwest and from japan.

Ashley Martin

This place is great. It' small but quiant. The staff is friendly and attentive. Nice cocktail selection.

Maureen Boulanger

Just a wonderful experience. Seated in the McQueen Room. Baylee was wonderful extremely knowledgeable in the food and beverage s.

Elisabeth Solchik

We enjoyed a Sunday brunch after a race that was headquartered nearby. The atmosphere was nice and quiet, and the food was delicious.

Roland Poitevien

Went there for brunch, which was good. The waitress kept bringing us our check before we were ready to leave.

Jane Wesling

The food is fantastic and our servers were phenomenal! I definitely recommend eating here.

Michael Wilkins

My family and I have eaten here for how many times already. Still, I am in awe whenever I get to taste their dishes. My mother was fond of their desserts. Everything was perfectly prepared and the staff was always on standby whenever a customer needs assistance. This restaurant is worth to check out.

Libby Ballengee

Had cocktails and separately had breakfast (stayed at hotel). Had great service both times. Yummy, filling breakfast and cocktails were delicious too! Had a nice experience, esp as hotel guests.

ryan proppe

The food was good but the drinks were better. In my opinion the burger was over priced but the majority of my group who got the pork chop loved it!

MIKE Taylor

Great breakfast, great coffee!!!

John V

Good food, recommend Pagenaud Steak! Good service and great cocktails. The staff is amazing. Inside Le Meridien Hotel just north, across alley from St Elmo

Sam Levin

From salad through entree our food was excellent. Attentive and accomodating wait staff. Thanks Leanne. Best pork chop my wife ever had. Cod fish was perfectly cooked, and went well with yhe Morman Funeral Potato. Yummy roated brussel sprouts. We eat out often, and this place is s hit.

Emma Williamson

Come for the quiet, stay for the coffee. This is a great place for a breakfast business meeting. Servers are not as attentive as I'd prefer but service was still good. The coffee. It's good. Get it here. Portions are smaller but healthier than what you'd expect for breakfast.

Michael Waymire

Spent over $100 on dinner for two tonight...after the deduction of an entree. We are from out of town, and were deciding between Spoke & Steele (S&S) and Harry & Izzy's for the evening - which is just next door - and I have to say that we made the wrong call this night. Disappointed with the timeliness of service, and the temperature of the meat was just bad. At least the bill didn't reflect the over-cooked entree. That being said, we believe S&S has a very unique atmosphere, and they serve great cocktails, some of which are created in-house. We have a two visit rule, before we come to a conclusion about a dining establishment. Hope our next visit is better.

Evan Dooner

Tasty food, great service, and a quiet atmosphere

Nathan McCord

Good food and service, higher priced than what I would have expected.

Michael Gray

The epitome of hotel food. Priced too high, flavors that were all over the place, and didn't make sense. Shrimp and grits floating in a lake of salty butter, biscuits so dense the "famous" tag on the menu should not be a proud famous. Thank goodness the cocktails were good.

Kim Finn

What a great place! We used the Barrel Room and it was very intimate for my wife's birthday party! Mary our Server was fantastic! She was knowledgeable about every item on the menu and took great care of us! We loved Mary! Ramona handled all our reservations, florist and cake arrangements and was fanrastic as well! Thanks Ramona for a fabulous night!

Michael Gilbertson

Excellent food and service. Well worth visiting.

Chevelle396BB

Nice restaurant. Stopped in for drinks and dessert. Will definitely be back for dinner soon!

Kate Bathon Shufeldt

The dinner and service was fabulous! They were having a somewhat slow night because of the weather. So the bartender, Jay, spoke with us about what we liked and didn't like as far as flavors and created some delicious cocktails for us throughout the evening. He was very knowledgeable and it was a fantastic experience!

Rusty Key

great new bar area and staff..

Mike4ncstate

Limited menu; was ok otherwise

La Toya Collins

The food looked nice but lacked any seasoning. Cocktails were great.

Kanti Crain

Went here for the father's day and I enjoyed our dining experience. The service is excellent and accommodating.

Wade Ryan

The food was very good. 5 people and no complaints. Our server Bailey did not make us feel rushed. Between her and Chef Simpson it made our progress through dinner very smooth. Can't wait to come back!

Sheryl Kenoyer

Amazing food with extraordinary tastes- not the usual! Nice selection of wines and our waitress Gabby was so knowledgable! What a pleasurable experience !

Jennifer McMullen

Great food, great service, strong drinks, beautiful restaurant! Perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or just a Wednesday night.

Brian Fruzen

We're in town for the Gen Con gaming convention and were looking to try a place none of us had ever been to. Some of the menu items on the online menu intrigued us, so we headed over. We ordered a few drinks while waiting in the comfortable lounge area and then proceeded to our dinner. Some of our group were skeptical at first, but the food and service won them over heartily. I had the duck and our server, Eric swiched out the baby corn for asparagus at my request. My friend had the steak. Everything was cooked perfectly. The duck was crispy on the outside and the inside almost melted in my mouth. The asparagus was firm and flavorful, an absolute delight. Eric recommend some drinks and ended up making a Smoke and Spice for me. It comes with a bit of a show, and the drink displayed layers of flavor and a complexity I've never before experienced in a cocktail. We talked with the manager, Will and he was as wonderful a person as Eric. This place has it all, and was worth every penny. In fact, we went back for drinks after the con the very next day. Mary was bartending, and she was a joy as well. I'm not all that well versed with the bar and she made me something with amaretto, orange juice, and spices (I forget the name) that was like liquid heaven on my tongue. She got creative for my second beverage and it was just as good, making for a second great experience. I plan to go back tomorrow for the burger. Every one of my friends that had one said it was the best they've ever had, and it certainly looked the part. Yes... definitely going back.

Kendric Evans

One of the best bartenders I've ever had. Fantastic premium drink options. Try one of the barrel aged cocktails or the smoke & spice. An excellent end to my evening in Indianapolis.

Jason Sales

Awesome food and if your not hungry soak in some phenomenal drinks!

Jade Duguay

Great drinks, food, and atmosphere! The burger is delicious!

Ryan Bastin

Best cocktails in Indy.

Greg Bell

Lamb was tough and service (bartenders) were apathetic.

Kennedy Petro

Baylee gave us excellent service and was very knowledgeable about the whole menu and wine selections! Would highly recommend dining with her and Spoke and Steele.

Jake Lazarus

Really liked my biscuits & gravy. My dad's parfait was solid, and his croissant was a bit on the hard/stale side. Decor was nice, as was the service. Good, but I think there's better in Indy.

Katie McDermitt

Charcuterie and cocktails are a must!!

Lauren Doyle

Gorgeous craft cocktails in a trendy setting. We tried a couple of the craft cocktails, as well as one of the bar's draft cocktail flights. The service was a little slow and our bartender forgot to place our charcuterie board order, but we enjoyed the fancy-schmancy digs and the excellent people watching.

Tyler Schutz

Cocktails and meatballs were excellent. The service, staff, and noodles were the exact opposite. Way over priced for the service and quality of food.

John Cavanaugh

The food was great, as was the service, but where Spoke & Steele especially stands out is in their gorgeous atmosphere and craft cocktails. Sleek yet homey, you can immediately get comfortable with a great drink in your hand. The prices are a bit high, but not unreasonable, and it's the kind of place that you go to spend a bit more money on a unique experience. I enjoy this place very much, and I believe I will be going again.

H. Anne Weiss

I REALLY like this restaurant and bar in the heart of downtown Indianapolis. Whenever I have entertaining someone who does not normally come to Indy, and I want to impress them with an ambiance that is both classy and comfortable I take them to Spoke and Steele. The menue changes seasonally, they have a good number of local (3 or more) and national or international draft beers (3 or more) to choose from, plus a martini, house drink, and mixed drink selection that is unique and seasonal. The hotel it is attached too is also very lovely, but I have not stayed there as a guest.

Adam Feigel

First and foremost, our waiter, Brandon, was absolutely top notch. He was extremely helpful, friendly, and gave us great recommendations (most of which we took!). The charcuterie board was amazing, by far the best I've ever had. The meat loaf nugs were also great, practically melted in my mouth. And make sure you try one of the signature cocktails!
