Located in this north Indianapolis suburb, you pass through a secret door to a dining room replete with mirrors, antique circus tapestries and posters. Raspberry torte is the favorite dessert. Meandering Merlins entertain. This typical-looking family restaurant just down the road from an Indian casino is not so typical. It has food and service worth driving for.
Proportions are huge, the menu diverse, and service truly is with a smile.
Little touches add a lot. For example, there are nine different salads made fresh daily. The onion rings are out of this world, the steaks first-rate. Don't miss the Apple Praline pie with pecan glaze. Owner Dennis Ross could teach other restauranteuers a thing or two.
