Spoke Steele - Indianapolis

Very convenient location. Service was prompt and professional. Food was very tasty.

Food was bland. The worst shrimp and grits we ever had. No one asked us how the food was so I’m assuming they know it’s bad.

We were the first table of the day and our server was extremely attentive and kind. The food was fabulous.

I took my groomsmen here for brunch before my wedding, and we all really enjoyed our experience. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and personable. Most people ordered the biscuits and gravy; I had the ribeye hash. Everyone loved their food. Our only (and very minor) issue was the size and quality of the brunch cocktails. Both the **** marry and mimosas were smaller than I would have expected at a similar restaurant, and the **** marry in particular was very sweet and lacked flavor. I would definitely go back, and maybe just pass on the brunch drinks.

The restaurant itself has a great vibe and feel. I ordered a martini and set out to peruse the menu which certainly had piqued my interest. The martini was fantastic but little did I know that was going to be the highlight of my evening. After delivering my cocktail, the server didn't return and no one checked in to see if I needed anything or would have liked to order an appetizer. After 30 40 minutes, I flagged down a server from another section and figured at this rate, I better order my entree/side. She graciously took my order and the food did arrive in a timely manner. The lamb chops were not overcooked, thankfully, but were overwhelmed by a profligate amount of pesto. Not to be outdone, the mushroom scampi was bereft of garlic and only tasted of salt. Now, I do like salt but I could barely get these down. So in sum, great ambiance, interesting menu poor execution both in the food preparation and in service. This restaurant is in a great location and on Pacer nights has access to approximately 14,000 attendees. And as it was on this Friday night, very few were in the restaurant whether ticketholders or not. Most pedestrians just walked by. Maybe they know. #TryHarder
