Tavern at the Point — Restaurant in Indianapolis

Me and my girlfriend stopped in here not too long ago while visiting from out of town. We were excited to see good reviews and the pictures looked very nice. When we walked in we were greeted and sat quickly and professionally while our waiter handled our drinks and order to the nines. I have no quarrel with the service of the restaurant. My dissension is with the food itself. My girlfriend ordered the shrimp wrap, while I chose the cheese curds; and to say both of the plates were bland would be an insult to the word bland. From what I could tell the cheese curds were bottom scrapings from the fryer because the amount of pure beer-batter-filled breading I bit into was repulsing. Half of the plate contained no cheese. My girlfriend bit into her wrap, looked at me in confusion, and said the most flavorful thing in her mouth was the actual spinach leaf tortilla itself. She said none of the fillings had any flavor. And after eating a single shrimp myself, I can confirm, it was near frozen and tasteless. I spent more time thinking of my review for this than I actually spent enjoying my food. The atmosphere was great; we loved how warm and updated everything looked. But I couldn’t find myself escaping the feeling that they were charging triple what their food is worth just to make up for the interior remodel loan. We truly appreciate the kind service, but I just couldn’t excuse the fact that it was all nullified by the insipid, boring food we put in our mouths. Indianapolis does have good tap...

Extremely OK. The atmosphere of the place is nothing to write home about. My family of 5 went in at the recommendation of my daughter who had been in before with family. She raved about the chicken tenders. Well, we ordered two orders of chicken tenders, the brisket nachos, two orders of fries and I had a side salad.

Our waiter William seemed incredibly annoyed to have us. I get how servers feel when they see families but, they aren't supposed to readily recognize that you don't want to serve them. He was far more interested with making sure we ordered more and more food instead of taking the order we were making. On the flipside, I do appreciate him telling me that the pretzel app was just 3 sticks tho. He also said that the chicken tenders app was only 5 tenders which is why we ordered 2. To charge what they do for the portion size they offer isn't ideal.

I didn't ask if the chicken tenders came with fries so when they arrived with fries, I asked the lady who brought the food if that was the side all she said was "I'll get you some more" and ran off. I addressed it with our server and he just said "she's new". How long do you have to work in a restaurant to know you only bring people the food they order? Because we ate them I paid for it.

All in all, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. Unless of course, they want overpriced and underspiced food with a dash of uncomfortable vibes.

Oh, and he...

So we visited the Tavern Sunday afternoon, our first time there. The atmosphere is not balanced. I love the big windows and looking out, but with the decorative metal ceiling it creats a lot of echo which creats lots of noise. There were 5 of us at a 2 top and I could not hear the person sitting 2 chairs down. The food was disappointing. 1st the menu is terrible with little to offer, at least on a Sunday. I got the chicken fingers, with buffalo sauce... it was a puny helping. 5 pieces ...4 were about 4 inches long, 1 was 3. Maybe the width of a nickel, and over cooked. On top of that they don't have bleu cheese for the buffalo. The gave me ranch. Now that cost $13. Nothing else bcause it was only offered as an appetizer. Our server was very nice, friendly and polite....but.....my mom ordered a rum and coke. She didnt like it. So our sever is just sorta standing there not offering any suggestions. 3 of us tried it and it was nasty. My sister suggested to see what the bartender thought. He just said something about the splash of lime. COME ON! We were trying to be polite She didn't like it and you should of remade it. Poor customer service. My wife had the brisket nachos. Nothing but fat. The other 3 people in our party order some different items. I wouldn't recommend anything we tried. So way over priced, questionable service and poor food.....but thats just my...
