What Guests Say
Guestbook
“ The buffalo solider cocktail was an easy drinker that wasn't overpowering on the bourbon. We got the shrimp cocktail to start which was great but expensive for 4 shrimp. It packed quite the punch with the amount of horseradish. The fried chicken slider was basic but what I expected. The French onion soup was well balanced and one of the best I've had. The star of the show was the lobster sacchetti which was split between 2 people. The sauce was nice and creamy with just the right amount of lobster flavor. It was all very filling so we skipped dessert. It was a pretty casual atmosphere with most people in sports gear of shorts and t shirts at 5:00 on a Saturday. ”
“ One of my favorite spots in Indy, partly owned by Peyton Manning with the same quality food as its next door neighbor St. Elmo’s Steakhouse with the same owners, this high end restaurant is a better value and less snooty atmosphere. I’ve seen people in suits and even people in shorts. They are known for their shrimp cocktail sauce with “Grade A horseradish” (apparently there is a grading, which our waiter explained, so ask them!). Also their bred pudding dessert is a must order, combining three of my favorite things: ice cream, whipped cream and Woodford Reserve ! The waiter said it could serve 4 but the four of us struggled to finish it. Highly recommend both of those things. One of my colleagues has a variety of allergies and the manager thoughtfully came out to explain how they handle food allergies. We thought that was a nice touch. Great spot for business dinners! ”
“ In town for a work conference, we brought a large group of 12 for dinner. Harry & Izzy’s is the sister spot to St. Elmo. Same pedigree, but with a bigger dining room and broader menu. Food: We started with brussel sprouts and calamari. Both were flavorful and well prepared. For my entrée, I ordered the ribeye “Izzy’s Way” (pepper crusted and served in a bath of steak sauce). Normally I avoid steak sauce, but this was excellent and worth ordering in Indy. Sides of mushrooms and broccolini were just okay. Dessert stole the show. The banana bread pudding was phenomenal. Easily the best bread pudding I’ve had anywhere. The local black coffee paired perfectly. Service and Atmosphere: Service was attentive and smooth, even for a big group. The dining room has a warm, lively atmosphere without being overwhelming. A great place to bring colleagues or friends for a solid steakhouse experience. Bottom line: If you are downtown and want a great steak dinner, Harry & Izzy’s is worth it. Go for the ribeye Izzy’s Way, but do not leave without trying the banana bread pudding. ”
“ Phenomenal to the service to the food. Amazing experience for us out of towners. It wasn't too busy on a Friday night. We were seated right away and server came around quick to fill water cups and give us the specials/etc. He gave us conversation on why we were there and recommendations on food choice. We choose his recommendations and it was amazingly delicious. Well worth the money for our first night in Indy. The shrimp cocktail sauce was on . If you stay in Indy this should be everyone's first night dinner date. ”
“ Very nice .... The shrimp cocktail lived up to its reputation... SPICY. The key lime creme brulee (seasonal) was awesome. Onion rings were good ... Thin with a perfect coating of breading. And plenty to around. Ribeye steak was perfectly cooked to my specifications. Overall - 5 out of 5 stars... ”
