• St. Elmo Steak House:

This Indianapolis iconic restaurant has been serving up steaks, seafood, and classic cocktails since 1902. The must-try dish here is the shrimp cocktail, which is served with a spicy horseradish sauce that will clear your sinuses. But don't stop there – the filet mignon and bone-in ribeye are also excellent choices. Leave room for their amazing chocolate cake or get one to go.

• Bluebeard:

Named after a novel written by a Hoosier, Kurt Vonnegut, Bluebeard is a hip restaurant that serves up seasonal, farm-to-table cuisine.

• Milktooth:

If you're in the mood for brunch, head to Milktooth, a quirky restaurant that's known for its inventive dishes and funky decor. Try the sourdough waffles with whipped goat cheese and blueberry lemon preserves, or the Dutch baby pancake with roasted grapes and mascarpone. 

• Nada:

Craving Mexican food? Look no further than Nada, a lively restaurant that serves up modern Mexican cuisine in a stylish setting. Start with the guacamole, which is made tableside and comes with freshly fried tortilla chips.

• The Eagle:

Sometimes you just need some good old-fashioned comfort food, and The Eagle specializes in fried chicken – crispy, juicy, and delicious. Order the quarter bird or half bird with a side of mac and cheese or cornbread, and don't forget the hot honey sauce for dipping.
