Oh come all ye Hoosiers...
I'll be heading to the land of corn and Round-e-Rounders July 21st through the 24th for a NAMM trade show. I'll be taking my major clients (music industry types) out to din-din. The trade show is usually in Nashville (that would be the Tennessee one Doug... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) ) so I know all the haunts there but this year they switched it to Indy. I need some top-notch restaurant recommendations by the convention center. If they're really good I can drive a bit. Thanks in advance... |

Two really nice places downtown that I've been too multiple times are Palomino ($$) and St. Elmo's ($$$$)
Others that I haven't been to: Schula's, Ruth's Chris If you are just looking for places to go for yourself and not impress the bigwigs, and if you like ethnic food, let me know and I have a longer list of fav's |

St Elmo's shrimp cocktail... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drooley.gif) definately not what you would expect! Mike Ditka was 2 tables over when I was there a few years back.

I think I've got it nailed. St. Elmos for sure. There's a good listing and a map on the convention center web site. I like to get recommendations here though... Here's what I've got:
Steak St. Elmo's Ruth's Chris Morton's Eagle's Nest (at my hotel) Seafood Oceanaire Keystone (road trip from the convention center right?) |

Eagle's Nest is very good, but if you (or business relations) are prone to motion sickness, think twice about this place. It is a revolving dining room on top of the hotel. I've been there once, and while it didn't bother me, I overheard people at the table next to me complaining about the motion. I think it takes 30 minutes to do one rotation...
Very good food though (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chowtime.gif) And re:St Elmos shrimp cocktail, I arranged for a bachelor party dinner there a number of years ago. It was the first time many of us had been at the place (in the Director's room -- direct access to a very nice wine cellar). The waiter warned us the sauce was hot. Slight understatement (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Morton's is another high end steakhouse. Like Elmo's but maybe a little quieter atmosphere... |

I've been to enough Morton's that I think they should name one after me by now. I've got the waiters big-ass lobster routine down pat.
With the Eagles Nest I could have them put me in a laundry cart and wheel me to my room. That's a plus... I don't care if my client ralphs or not.
