Today was my first time ever going here. I was really excited as I’ve been recommended this place before and have heard so many good things about it! After eating there today I can say I’m a little disappointed by the food and the service. I got the chicken tacos, they were okay but definitely not worth the price. There wasn’t a lot of flavor and the food was just a little bland.

Separately, the main reason I’m leaving this review is our server. He was relatively nice but he was DEFINITELY trying to get us out of there. We walked in right at 11:30 and had only been there an hour and he kept coming to our table asking if we were finished and if we needed boxes. We kept saying no we’re good until he kept coming i eventually just said yes I’ll take a box so he would stop coming by. I was meeting up with a friend I hadn’t seen in a minute so we were just trying to sit and talk and enjoy the atmosphere. He didn’t even ask us if we were ready for the bill and then just brought it and took my plate, he came back immediately and grabbed the bills and our cards. I get it can be annoying when people sit and talk for a while but we weren’t even there the full hour and he was already gearing up for us to leave. If I’m paying for food I’m going to sit and enjoy it and don’t really appreciate being rushed out.

Probably won’t go again just because the food was mid and the server was trying to rush us out. I didn’t catch his name but he was shorter and had glasses and we were sat by the booths next to the bathroom if that helps...

So disappointed! A friend raved about Indigo, and we were really looking forward to sampling this fantastic menu! Unfortunately we went on a cold and windy Saturday when the restaurant was very busy. Didn't know to join the virtual waitlist in advance, so we had a long, freezing wait in front of the heavy door that e.v.e.r.y.o.n.e. struggled to open and then struggled to shut. We gazed longingly at the empty table for two that stood vacant while the hostesses busied themselves seating larger parties who arrived after us. Finally we asked if our turn would come soon, and they told us they'd tried calling four minutes earlier. We hadn't heard our phone over the pounding loud music that apparently some people think is fun to yell over (not us), and it seemed a little strange that the hostesses wouldn't have checked to see if that was the case. Nevertheless we were happy to finally be shown to a table. Not the warm one still sitting vacant in the center for some reason. As it turned out, the table we waited so long for was right next to another heavy door that several staff struggled to open, and then just left open, to visit a single person braving the cold on the patio - a manager? Each time we got blasted with cold air and had to get up to close the door ourselves. After four times getting up to close the door before anyone even came to our table we decided to just leave. Maybe we will have another opportunity to visit and sample this fantastic menu on a warmer, less busy day,. But so many restaurants, so...
