π Indianapolis | My Restaurant of the Year β Bluebeard
I officially declare Bluebeard in Indy one of my "Top Restaurants of the Year"! π Ambience: Elegant and cozy, with a beautiful courtyard β perfect for outdoor seating on a nice day! πΈπ At night, the string lights create a magical vibe. π« π½ What We Ordered: 1οΈβ£ Charcuterie & Cheese Board π§π Two mild cheeses, two types of salami, caper berries, olives, mustard seed sauce, and white sauce. Perfect with wine! $22 2οΈβ£ Oysters π¦ͺ Fresh but small β decent but not standout. $4 each 3οΈβ£ Hamachi Crudo ππ οΌBEST DISH!οΌ Yellowtail with muskmelon, yuzu vinegar, and chili oil βAbsolutely! Must-try! $26 4οΈβ£ Grilled Quail π¦π₯ Rare find in U.S. restaurants! Tender, juicy, with crispy skin. So good it should be the standard for "succulent"! π Skip the salty sauce underneath. Highly recommend! $39 5οΈβ£ Ricotta Gnocchi π§π Ricotta cheese dumplings with truffle mushroom sauce β creamy! A bit heavy but delicious. $31 6οΈβ£ Grilled Ribeye π₯©π 14oz ribeye (medium-rare) with peach bell pepper sauce and chives. Cooked to perfection! $52 7οΈβ£ Apple Cake ππ° Unique dessert: peach mousse shaped like an apple + almond cake base + peach sauce. Creative, but the mousse could be firmer. Still worth trying! π΅ Price: ~$60 per person (without alcohol) β totally worth it! Verdict: exceptional food + cozy ambiance = must-visit! π π Bluebeard (Check maps for exact address!) #HiddenGem #RestaurantOfTheYear #Indianapolis #Bluebeard #FineDining #PurdueLife #FoodieReview π·β¨πΈ
