Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse

This was my first experience at Hyde Park, and we celebrated our 1 year anniversary here. The staff immediately greeted us with a smile and placed a candle on our table to make it more romantic. Our server was well versed in the cocktail menu and recommended a few options based on our likes. He also recommended the bacon appetizer. It tasted like glazed ham, which was delicious. We started our meal with the lobster bisque and Cesar salad. Our server poured chunks lobster into the soup at the table. It was silky yet full of lobster meat, I could stop eating it. The Cesar salad was the best my husband has ever had. The croutons were soft and buttery. We shared the porterhouse steak alongside mashed potatoes and broccoli. Steak was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The sides were both delicious. There was nothing about this meal we didn't like. Dessert was some of the best in the city. The carrot cake was huge. It could serve 3 people. We are already planning to go back next year for our anniversary. Heck, I want to go back as I type this. If you have a special occasion, I highly recommend this establishment.

Everything was great; cocktails, lobster bisque, wagyu filets, and great side options. Only complaint was very small oysters but that happens sometimes with oysters. Great restaurant and atmosphere.

My wife and I made a last minute reservation for a Friday night date night. Let me first say we aren’t your typical fine dining people. We do it maybe twice a year just for the experience, but other than that we stick to our normal places. This was our first time at Hyde Park our last fine dining experience in Indianapolis was at St. Elmo. Let me tell you HP beat SE in every category. The host was fantastic from the beginning and got us seated quickly. He made causal conversation during the interaction and was very welcoming. The server was fantastic he started off with welcoming us by family name. Which says to me he did his research before even coming over. I think he could tell we weren’t your normal fine dining people and did a great job making us feel comfortable and explaining the menu. For comparison I didn’t get this at St. Elmo it felt more classist and elite, like oh I know they don’t belong. The server also has an assistant who made a point of stopping by for a second, it was a busy Friday night but the thought is what counts. Next the staff bought out a sushi sample which was to die for. This set me up for thinking this is going to be such good food. We didn’t get an appetizer so the next food out was my wife ribeye, I got the Miller Experience which is a filet migon and we got the Mac and cheese side. The food was delicious and top tier, it defined what I imagined fine dining should be for flavor. The steak was incredibly tender and flavorful, the Mac and cheese was to die for and the dinner rolls were exceptional. This was a part St. Elmo fell short on, the steak lacked flavor and the food was only ok. We ended our night with the dessert and heavens was it good. We got the butter cake and it comes with a show, it was easily the best dessert at a restaurant I’ve ever had. Last mention goes to the valet team that was quick and attentive and got my truck back to me with no issues. The valet manager was friendly and very kind and so was staff. This is a top spot in Indy fine dining scene and I recommend it to anyone.

My husband and I stopped by this restaurant during our visit to Indianapolis. We had the early dinner special which was a great deal. The bread, wedge salad, lobster bisque, chop steak, and tenderloin were all good. The cosmopolitan drink as well as the carrot cake was fantastic as well. Service was really good and the ambience was great.

My bf and I had a wonderful experience here for his birthday! Several people including the waiter, manager and the regional manager wished him a happy birthday and we were both super appreciative of this and it made my bf's birthday that much more special. There was also a card at the table that said happy birthday and was signed by multiple employees. This is a more fancy and upscale restaurant in which we dressed accordingly. A gentleman played the piano and sang songs that most would be familiar with, it made the ambiance more enjoyable. We sat at a booth which I had requested when I made the reservations. Our waiter Howie was nice and helpful. Everything we ordered was delicious and took no time to come out. My bf loved his steak and I loved the Chilean sea bass wt the butter sauce. The sides of mashed potatoes and mushroom & spinach was wonderful. Even the cocktails were great. We finished off our meal with the largest slice of carrot cake I've ever seen in my life. It was amazing though and can definitely recommend. This place is pricey for sure but to me it was worth it for the overall experience.
