"The food here is delicious. Reservations are definitely recommended. It is a very busy place. Most restaurants just have 1-2 vegetarian dishes, so I was pleasantly surprised that they had an entire vegetarian tasting menu. That is so rare to find. The 6 course tasting takes about a couple hours and the dishes are very inventive. The service is pretty good as well. The experience could be so much better if there was a vegetarian protein source and the portion sizes were larger to better match the price of the tasting menu. You could alternatively include the wines in the base price to elevate the experience. Overall a good place to go for a special occasion. EDIT: Updating to 5 Stars. We visited the restaurant again after a year and loved the fact that Vida incorporated all my suggestions. The dishes did not repeat any vegetables, they included a vegan protein source in Tofu and the portion sizes were also larger. 100% recommended for a special occasion especially for Vegetarians."

"My son was in from California so we wanted to take him to Tony’s. We have been before and think highly of the restaurant. Positives: Calamari, wedge, steaks and pasta were very good.Positives: My mother who is very picky loved her steak although she did send it back because it was not hot when it came to the table. She still raved about it even after that. That is really something.Negatives: Lobster tail was so over cooked it came out all curled up. It took me a minute to even figure it out. I sent it back. They asked if I wanted another one. I said “no”. I was getting full anyway so no reason to add another to the bill since they obviously do not know how to cook it. Suggestion if you don’t know how to cook it then take it off of the menuNegative: Preoccupied waiter. I would have gotten a glass of wine with dinner. Waiter never asked. I have been to Tony’s before and have had very attentive waiters. Not this time.Negative: Not Tony’s fault but a large table by us were drunk and very loud. Negative: I have no desire to come back. Their steaks are very good but if you can’t cook a lobster tail it puts Tony’s as a great steakhouse in Indy at the bottom of the list. Their credibility is gone to me. Suggestion: Bringing a nice piece of desert to the table on the house would have been a nice gesture and then I may have wanted to come back. They had a full house so a party of was probably not a priority"

"Got the classic burger, chips and cheese carrot cake and the banana bread oh and fried chicken meal. Was delicious would recommend to people who are new to vegan food and don't want to eat carrots and beets it's a,new twist on takeout. Staff was lovely and patient even with a full line will definitely be coming back.Went back Saturday to get chocolate cake which is delicious and huge for the price, also had the chimichanga was so good was fresh out the grease. Was a tad bit oily on the come out but didn't take away from the flavor. The chicken and waffles were amazing with the honee chicken just marvelous. Lastly had the potatoes wasn't a fan they were cooked nicely and had a nice smell I just don't like sweet tasting starchy food like potatoes personally some may like them my wife certainly did. Overall we loved the experience.Vegetarian options: All veganParking: It was parking when I was there they have their own lot.Dietary restrictions: The restaurant is vegan"

"Inside, you’ll find seating at tables and the bar, along with a pleasant patio area that overlooks the sidewalk. They also have a self-serve water station in the front. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the place left much to be desired. I chose to sit at the bar, and it appeared to have not been wiped down all day. The floor was quite dirty as well. The staff did what was necessary, but seemed to lack enthusiasm. You can customize your own bowl or select one of their signature options. Feeling adventurous, I decided to create my own bowl. Regardless of your choice, you start with a base. I opted for traditional sushi rice over brown rice and spring mix salad. Next, I had to select a protein. The size of your bowl determines how many scoops you receive. The regular size allows for two scoops, so I chose one scoop of spicy tuna and one of marinated salmon, although options like octopus, tofu, and shrimp are also available. After that, you can add various toppings and sauces. I have to admit, my bowl was quite tasty and packed with protein. The atmosphere was relaxed, with music playing softly in the background. Unlike the other location I've visited, this one doesn't offer shaved ice, just poke. Overall, I found this place to be just average compared to other locations I've tried, which is why I’m giving it a 3-star rating. The poke was decent, but everything else felt pretty standard at best."

"In my 35 years of tasting food, Subito stands out as a place that makes me feel truly content. I enjoyed the turkey pesto sandwich alongside the loaded potato soup, which was served with an array of toppings. The sandwich offered a perfect blend of flavors that were subtle yet satisfying. The soup was rich and hearty, delivering the ideal comforting taste. The entire meal was wonderfully balanced, coming together seamlessly like a beautifully composed melody. I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Great restaurants owe their success to exceptional staff, and despite my short stay, the energy from the team was incredible—they were warm, friendly, and welcoming. My meal was served with genuine passion. A big thank you to the Subito team—you are the real MVPs!"
