  I hate giving a bad review over service. It was my  fiancee 35th birthday and we wanted to go bar hopping for his birthday ( free drinks on your birthday sorta deal). We come in and sat at a table and wait for the waitress. She takes a while to get to us but we did not mind because we where talking. We tell her how we are out to celebrate his 35th birthday and she responds with "Ok. so do you know what you want?" in a sarcastic tone. We did not want this to get us down on how pissed she seemed so we place our order of 2 of there mixed drinks and they where alright. She then asked him if he wanted a draft beer because they where a special and he said sure I'll take one and an order of duck fat fries. Those where great! but she brought us out 2 beers and charged us for both! I told her "I did not order a beer." she said "opps my bad" and walked away. then we got the bill.. She charged us of all the drinks ( even the beer I did not order) and I figured because 1. it was my  fiancees birthday she would at least comp one of the drinks and  2. charged us for a drink I did not order.  We left and went home because that waiter kinda killed it for us. This is not the first time I went here and it was disappointing because how I was treated. Will not go back if this is the kinda service I get.

  So the bff and I had to take a random road trip out to IN... On our way back we were looking for something different for our lunch stop.  We stopped in Crown Point for a fast food place we saw an ad for...  As we past the 3 Monkeys Pub we knew we needed to turn around and go back!
  
  It was late afternoon on Friday, so we missed the lunch rush which was fine with us.  We sat at the bar with bartender Kelly who was an absolute delight!  We just wanted some apps to hold us over until dinner instead of a heavy lunch and she let us know what her favs were!  She also informed us that everything is made fresh every day!  This is key!
  
  I picked the Caprese Salad Tower... Holy Moly was this full of win!  The balsamic reduction was amazing with the fresh basil and mozzarella cheese!  I'm a little bit of a tomato snob as we grow them, so the first three ingredients far surpassed the poor mater.  I could have eaten three of these salad then taken a nap and my day would have been perfection, but wait there was more...
  
  The bff choose the Crab Cakes... She loves to get them wherever we go!  I cannot have spicy things so I didn't eat the Spicy Remoulade Sauce that came with it though the bff cleaned out the side cup of it so it must have been great!  The cakes were very crabby!  It was delish to have a crab cake full of crab and just a little of all the other stuff to add to the flavor!
  
  We also agreed on the Godzilla Roll... They offer three sushi rolls at this non sushi place... This roll was better than most of the sushi place around me!  The tempura shrimp in combination with wasabi mayo and sauces that were drizzled on the dish (I can't remember what they were) were the perfect combo!  It made my mouth water!  
  
  Just thinking about this lunch again is making my mouth water again!  They also have cider which is great as the bff and I have beer allergies.  The prices were all VERY reasonable for what they were offering up!
  
  This has officially become our new lunch / dinner stop on trips to Indy!  Very well done Monkey Smile Chef (we didn't get you're name, but you know who you are!)!!!  Even the owner had a great sense of humor when he stopped by to chat with us!  Give this place a try to truly appreciate the homemade goodness they have to offer!
  
  **NOTE:  In Indiana if smoking is allowed in a bar, then it is NOT a family establishment and you MUST be 21 or older.  If smoking is not allowed in a bar, then it is a family dining establishment.  Please disregard the below two posts that completely do NOT understand the law in Indiana!
