    The food was delicious. We enjoyed all the appetizers and entrees. The snapper was very flavorful. The drinks were great as well. You must try the under the table. The service was another story. The manager was not friendly at all. He was at the hostess's table when we entered. He did not speak, smile or acknowledge the party in any manner. Moving along… a guest in my party had a question the waitress could not answer and stated she would get the manager. Instead of him coming 3 steps to our table he told her what to tell us. The look on his face while he spoke with her was as if he was bothered. I visited before Covid and had a great experience. After last night, I’m not sure if I’ll return.

    I had an all around Great experience here in the waiter was very supportive and attentive! Food was all as to order and portions were great for the price. I also got a lot of work done here as they let me hang out and catch up on emails late in the night. 5 out of five would recommend

    Brought a large group in and they were very accommodating. Drinks and food were all delicious. Our server was busy but did a great job. Will be coming back.

    I used to really love the food here. Service was great as always today. My southern mother is in town for Mother’s Day, so I made reservations for Sunday brunch (mainly for the biscuit board). On the website it said that there was a prix fixe menu available (not that was the only one available). My fault, I should have called to double check. Anyway, the first course was bland (the taste of lard/crisco could be tasted in the biscuits, the bacon was not candied, and the deviled eggs were bland). Half the table doesn’t even bacon and the other half did not eat deviled eggs which were not tasty at all. In a normal world we would have never ordered deviled eggs. The second courses (chicken and waffle, lamb shoulder, and omelette) were all good, not great, just average. The desserts (which again we would have not ordered as there were sugar conscious diners with us due to health reasons) were dry and bland for the ones that chose to try them. The strawberry shortcake was far from being considered a strawberry shortcake. It would have been nice to know there was only one menu available. Had it just been my mother and I I would have left before being seated. For the $40/pp price tag the food should have been much better. I think after my last experience plus this one my time going there is over. The 1 star is for the service.

    Maybe I am spoiled. I am from Wisconsin. Drinks are strong, service is friendly, and food is worth writing home about. My husband, from Alabama, actually said to me I can't judge everything by the supper clubs back home. But I do. And I will. Ignore if you wish. Firstly...it is EXTREMELY loud. I am a teacher and accustomed to noise. This was loud by my standards. Service is slow and in our experience very spotty. Waitress took our drink order, left, came back 5 min later and asked if we wanted to order drinks remembered she had already asked us and brought back the wrong drinks. Twice. Calamari appetizer is tasty and worth every penny. Lobster bisque (not pictured) is rich and buttery but be aware; it is a small cup of soup. Scallops were tasty but one had a piece of shell still attached that I did not notice until biting down. Butternut squash was not cooked evenly. You can tell this is the trendy place to go but I would skip it. We won't go back

    Service was not just first class, but world class. Maybe I just got lucky based on some of the reviews. Alternatively things have improved (which seems more likely if a business really cares what it is about). Decor and ambience were great. Food was fine, 3* - solid American grub, fairly priced

    Farm to table restaurant. Scallops with vegetables were quite tasty. Dessert was delicious! We tried the crème brûlée and chocolate cake. Would highly recommend!

    Saw reviews and got so excited about trying this place. I went ahead and placed an online order for lobster bisque and veggie Pad Thai. When I arrived to pickup my order, was able to easily park right in front despite it being in the downtown area, restaurant decor was nice and staff seemed friendly. I got back to hotel and so terribly disappointed, a strand of hair was sitting right on top of the noodles and now I’m so grossed out that I will not even touch the soup. Contacted restaurant and spoke with manager, who was not very apologetic and sounded like he was in a rush to end the call. Asked for a refund to card, hopefully, I’m able to get that. And the worse part is I haven’t eaten all day, I’m so hungry but disgusted.

    Had a great time at Mesh. The food was great. Loved their dumplings: they were a bit different from the ones I usually eat, which is great. Should have asked for the recipe, lol. Overall, I’ll give it a 5 stars. The server was super friendly and she made sure we had a good experience. Will definitely come back :)

    Went for brunch with another family. Kids and adults loved everything. Probably one of the most inventive cocktail lists I've ever seen. We'll be back when we're in Indy again.

    We came for brunch. The atmosphere was classy and elegant. Service was quick and efficient. The food was great, like at all of the Cunningham restaurants from my experience. We got deviled eggs, smoked salmon bagels (picture included) and the fried chicken & waffles. We loved everything. The portions were perfect. Will definitely come back.

    We had so much fun with our family that had come in from another state. We got a bottle of wine as well as a couple of delicious cocktails from the bar. However, the chicken that I ordered was a little over-cooked (on accident) and a bit rubbery (also on accident; easy to do). My husband had the Pad Thai but the noodles were a bit over done (also, way easy to do).My husband is a chef by trade (from Lyon, France). He was a bit disappointed but both of us understand the business and were ecstatic about the experience! We loved our server (I think his name was Adam? Super nice guy with recommendations that would accommodate different diet needs). We'd been recommended by many friends and family to visit and we will sending our friends and family there for dinner and drinks! Mesh on Mass displayed a spectacular visual of the food and the flavor was wonderful! 99.999% loved the restaurant. The ambience, the wonderful people working there as well as happy customers. This is a diamond in the rough kind of restaurant and I see why it gets raving reviews. Bon appètit!!

    Excellent food and ambiance. The mesh salad was very flavorful and the halibut was fantastic. The ribeye might have been the best dish of the night as it was super flavorful with a coffee rub char finish.

    Went there with a group, and every meal served was perfectly prepared. Complements to the chef and his staff. Our service staff made sure that we were all well taken care of. I would highly recommend this place

    Atmosphere was really nice and the service was great. Went there for seafood and they were out due to cooler issue. Wanted to order the halibut and salmon. Got the chicken instead it was ok. They gave us desserts and that was nice. The deviled eggs are really good. The bread appetizer was just ok.

    Our dinner experiences here have been extremely pleasant, both in the beautiful atmosphere inside and on the lovely patio. Food quality and service have been outstanding, whether for a quiet romantic dinner for only my spouse and me; or for a family or business gathering of six or eight or more. Lunch dining is what makes this a 4-star review rather than a 5-star review. My spouse and I did an off-peak lunch (around 1:45/2:00 one weekday afternoon) and despite being one of only two or three tables being served, the service was slow and lackluster when we did receive attention. Again, though, our dinner experiences have been memorably great. We're past due for a return visit – we'll definitely be back.

    Seriously 5 stars. Amazing quality food, our server Robert was world class! We had the Brussels and Calamari App. Main course halibut and blackened chicken sandwich. So delicious!!

  • 4/5 Mallory S. 11 months ago on Google
    Ordered the short rib grilled cheese with sweet potato chips, the omelette with bacon added, and a brussel sprouts appetizer. The omelette and the potato side that came with it were a little bland, but everything else was delicious, especially the brussel sprouts. The interior was beautiful and the service was great, overall would recommend!

    Mesh was an excellent contemporary American experience. The dishes were elegant but not absurd. Every dish was perfectly executed: the pork belly was crispy, melty, and the glaze was intense. The colossal shrimp were tender, the risotto herby, and the tomato jam sweet. The bread pudding was sweet and the vanilla ice cream was creamy and smooth. Hayden did a great job checking in and offering service. The best part of my night was Sweater Weather. What a perfect blend of bourbon and lemon.

    The service was great. The food was amazing! We went during devour Indy in February. Sorry I can’t remember the name of the food. This was over a year ago and I’m just posting.

    I had heard a lot about this place and was really looking forward to the experience. I'll start by saying that it didn't live up expectations in some ways but was still a good experience. First of all, I'll start with decor and atmosphere. For a higher end place I definitely expected a little "wow" walking in but it all fell a little flat. The bathrooms had plastic paper towel dispensers that didn't even match the tile or anything. Rolls of toilet paper just stacked on the back of the toilet, and the doors were just frosted glass so I could see the figure of someone sitting and moving around as I waited. Kind of awkward when I met them as they walked out. My turn! Our seats felt more like just shoved in a corner surrounded by walls on 2 sides so half the party just had a brick wall for their view. It wasn't cozy, it was just kind of poorly laid out. Secondly, our waitress was unfamiliar with most of the menu and had to look at it several times and ask the chef a few times. It took 25 minutes for her to get our drinks, and 45 minutes until she took our order. She fumbled and struggled just to open a bottle of wine as we just awkwardly sat there and watched and waited. Then she we come back ever so often and not even speak, just grab a plate or glass and walk off. It was nothing terrible just not what I expected from a higher end place. I expected a competent and friendly server and all facets of place to be similar theme and feel. But... All that aside, the food was delicious and the drinks were well crafted and good selection of wine. We had the meat and cheese board, mesh salads, a NY strip, a filet, 2 Ribeyes, and the pork chop. Everyone loved each item and we finished with creme brulee, bread pudding, and ice cream. We walked out satisfied and full. I probably won't be back however at least not with any regularity.

    The food was excellent in terms of taste and presentation. The shrimp toast stood out with its buttery and soft bread texture and the variety of bread had me wanting for more. Our group enjoyed the short rib dumplings. Overall a nice place for American food.
