The Northside Social

I really enjoyed this place. We came here on Saturday night for a birthday dinner, and the place was so packed, we couldn't even find a spot in the private lot and had to use the bank lanes as parking. This place seemed very intimate, and although our server was brand new, she did a great job. I ordered the cocktail special with included plum wine and a few other ingredients, and it was nice enough. I decided to try the Spicy Thai with Shrimp pasta dish, and ordered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc to go along with it. Both items were fantastic. Everyone at our table really enjoyed their meals, and there were many empty dishes. If I went again, I would like to try the coconut crusted mahi mahi.

I am really looking forward to taking my boyfriend here for a nice, romantic dinner.

Overpriced, mediocre food.  The real kicker is that the waitress mentioned that the menu is "seasonal."  Uhh, no it's not.  The menu might change but it definitely is not seasonal.  On 03/02/13, the menu had entrees with sides such as asparagus and summer squash and zucchini - that's not seasonal, that's SYSCO.  Also, all I really needed to know about the place was that not every entree dish had its own unique sides.  Asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes - on multiple entrees?  Yikes.

For $100 (including tip) I've experienced much better food. The service was great but the $22 "Famous Brisket" was glorified roast beef that my crock pot could easily compete with. With all of the great food in Broad Ripple for a reasonable price I don't see myself going back.
