"Food Wine...5 Stars Service...4.5 Stars The reason service lost a half a star is because one item that we ordered didn't arrive and water wasn't refilled enough for our table. The funny thing is that the item we ordered was also water, just fizzy Pellegrino that they could have charged for. All my friends enjoyed their wine except one. I didn't taste her wine but it didn't smell yummy...eh...Maybe it's just not my type of wine... My wine was perfect! Certain wines are served by the glass as well as the whole bottle. Some are served by the half bottle or bottle only. Didn't see if there was a corkage fee for bringing in your own bottle but honestly I wasn't looking for it. Hehe I ordered the one of the night's specials... Seared Ahi with a Chipotle Lime Avocado Sauce (can't remember the specific name . It was wonderful! Great presentation on top a bed of delectable rice asparagus. Because of the way the waiter presented it, we ALL thought that the cup of soup or side salad was included with the Entrées...Not so. But now you know now I know...That being said...I'd still order the delicious Potato Leek Soup for $4. Yum! Worth every cent! When I looked around, I didn't see any leftovers...All the plates wine glasses were empty. Cheers to the chef! The atmosphere was nice. Low ambient lighting. Very soothing. The restaurant was full so there was a bit of volume coming from conversation but it's not like the acoustics made it worse. We were still able to hear each other in our party of 8. We've been to places where it was impossible to hear across the table, so this was nice! I've already told my husband that we need to go back there for date night...maybe double date night. ;"

"OMG, I plan on calling the Health department. This location needed to be closed for a day or two. So much to say. There were so many gnats in this restaurant. It was an infestation. It was so bad it was funny. My husband and I went to the Avon location because we didn't feel like driving to Harry and Izzy at Keysyone crossing. We went here on our 3rd wedding anniversary. This was ridiculous. I ordered the shrimp and lobster soup. I had to place my bread plate over the soup so the bugs didn't eat my soup. The manager didn't stop at our table or anyone table during the evening I'm sure because of bug complaints. I'm calling tomorrow to get a refund and go to a better restaurant for an anniversary do-over. The women at the table across from our table dined and dashed. That's understandable. One was swatting bugs for 30 minutes. I saw the gnats while waiting 15 minutes for a table but I thought it was just at the front door. We didn't have enough time to go to another restaurant, and we like to do something special for our anniversary. My husband and I laughed so hard at the fact we got ourselves into this situation of fighting bugs for our food. The manager was cleaning tables that should have been cleaned long b4. I went to this Avon location on Rockville Rd in Indianapolis, IN, on September 18, 2024. I plan on going to get a full refund plus the tip. This experience was terrible but funny. Everyone on earth is better than this experience. I need my refund tomorrow. I never plan on going back. If Management feels the public deserves to eat bugs and swat bugs, they should be out of business. I'm also calling the Health department. Once Management realized there was an infestation of bugs the restaurant should have been closed for the day and cleaned and exterminated. DO BETTER IN 2024. Yuck.... Oh my mashed potatoes were cold and refused to melt the butter."
