Shadow Lounge & Restaurant — Restaurant in Indianapolis

I have been wanting to come here for a while and I finally had some time available to check it out! The service and food was AMAZING; the cocktails…..skip them unless they get a new mixologist, and that’s just the truth.

It was a Friday night and I think we got in just before the full evening rush started coming which worked out perfectly! We were greeted and seated immediately and our waitress was to us within 5 min. The place is set up to pack in a lot of people without feeling too over crowded. I also noticed the booths had charging ports available which is nice as people are always needing to charge their phones. There was also a stage space which lets me know there is some live music which takes place I’m just not too sure when, and there’s also an outside sitting space too!

Anyways for food we ordered fried cauliflower, Philly egg rolls and 2 orders of wings. From the first bite of the fried cauliflower I knew we made a mistake…..we should’ve had 2 orders of it! They were AMAZING!!! We had ours in the hot honey sauce and the consistency and texture of the cauliflower!!!! Whew it melts in your mouth to perfection. The Philly egg rolls were pretty tasty too and had tons of flavor plus whatever sauce came with them complimented them perfectly. The wings were crisped to perfection although it was annoying we had all drumsticks and one flat. My guess is someone must’ve previously ordered all flats (which I tend to do myself) but I didn’t and paid the consequence. I already hinted about the drinks so I won’t say too much about it but, they were not good. I had an espresso martini and Mi Amor has the cherry bourbon slush…..they were terrible. Neither of flavors they were supposed to have came through and it made me wonder if the mixologist was following a recipe or just doing what they wanted. Either way….it could use some tweaking as I really wanted another drink but there was no way I was risking having to force something else down.

This is a place to definitely put on your list to check out, you won’t be disappointed and believe me when I say……try the fried cauliflower with the hot honey as they are amazing!!! I can’t wait to go back...

The Shadow Lounge: A Hidden Gem with Great Vibes, Food, and Music

Located just west of 54th & Keystone on the north side of 54th Street, The Shadow Lounge might not look like much from the outside, but step inside, and you’ll find a vibrant, welcoming space. With plenty of free parking available, it’s convenient for a casual evening out or a date night. The interior boasts plenty of seating options, including cozy split booths, tables, and a bar with ten stools for those who enjoy sitting up front. The lounge is equipped with multiple big-screen TVs and an excellent sound system, pumping out hit after hit that will get you moving to the beat. With a live DJ spinning at night, the energy is lively and fresh—perfect for anyone looking to enjoy some good music while dining or relaxing with friends. I arrived around 5 PM, just as they were getting busy. My server, Zee, was friendly, attentive, and provided fantastic service throughout the evening. Though the kitchen took a little longer than expected to get the food out, the wait was well worth it. For an appetizer, I ordered the fried cauliflower—deliciously crisp and full of flavor. For my main course, I opted for the cheeseburger, and let me tell you, it was incredible. The burger came with two tender, juicy hamburger patties stacked with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. The accompanying fries were crispy, lightly seasoned, and far better than your typical side.

My overall Experience

The Shadow Lounge offers a swanky, relaxed atmosphere, great service, and even better food and music. It’s the kind of place that guarantees you a fun, memorable time. Whether you’re out with friends or on a date, The Shadow Lounge won’t...

So I booked a birthday party for my friend. They told us there was no reservation fee for the tables. The party was booked in February when we showed up for the party. The table was dirty. Nobody understood that we had reserved a table. They do not charge you to reserve a table but then tell you that everybody that sits at the table needs to pay you $30. They add 18% gratuity to your bill There’s more than three people that run this restaurant when we showed up for the birthday party. The two people that we were talking to about reserving the table. We’re not there. The other person was there and he looked at us like he did not know what we were talking about so after we took pictures in the front while they cleaned our table lol it was over 15 minutes the staff kept asking us why we were there even though we had reserved a table 5 months ahead of time we had one waitress, and she seemed like she was overworked and underpaid. She was the only person that apologized about our birthday party not being set up properly. Also, they told us that we could bring decorations and a cake. They did put the cake in the freezer and then after we had decoration shipped to them and the person that we booked the party through said it would be set up. Nothing was set up. They gave us a dirty table. The fan that was supposed to blow on the table did not work. I would always recommend to not throw a party here because if you do, you do not have to reserve a table just show up the lamb. Fettuccine is very good though it’s pretty much the best part of the situation that I would give it on...
