A beautiful restaurant with a knowledgeable and helpful staff. The cuisine was prepared to perfection and the champagne was fabulous as well. We dined in the crisp autumn air and enjoyed the outdoor patio and it was heated and a blanket provided at each table. We did not feel cold. We didn’t feel rushed as we sat and enjoyed our visit after the meal. Highly recommend!

A buddy and I met for dinner after work Monday and settled into a table in Ambrosia’s bar, one of our favorite spots. We’ve become creatures of habit, but the bruschetta makes a persuasive argument against personal growth: toasted Tuscan bread, tomatoes, basil, olive oil and garlic. Why tamper with that? He followed with the Rustica pasta, a hearty combination of Italian sausage, peppers, onions and marinara. I had the grouper special with Sicilianna sauce and sautéed spinach over Parmesan risotto, an excellent reason to venture beyond my usual order. A lovely Italian Sauvignon Blanc rounded out the evening. Dave Butts’ service was stellar as always, and James, the assistant general manager, added to the warm welcome. Ambrosia Hospitality Group understands that a favorite restaurant earns its place through both the food and the people. This one keeps earning ours.

Always love this place! Food is fantastic. The vibe of Broad Ripple is so great and you’re right there as you hang in the outdoor seating areas. Wait staff is hard working and fun. Can’t go wrong with choosing Canal Bistro on a nice day.

Overall, we had a great experience at Aberdeen Social House. We sat at the bar, and enjoyed an excellent pinot noir and rye from their cultivated wine and spirits menu. My colleague ordered the seasonal salmon and described it as "wonderful", finishing literally every bite on her plate. I ordered the beef tartare and PEI mussels from the starter menu. The beef tartare was served on a roasted marrow bone, with a quail egg yolk set to one side and other delicious accompaniments. I can honestly say that it was among the very best beef tartare dishes I've ever tasted. While I generally prefer a more classic, Northern France-style preparation of mussels, these were rich, hearty, and delicious. The service was impeccable from start to finish. I enthusiastically recommend Aberdeen Social House!

    Had not been to Northside Social in several years but it did not disappoint. Food, ambience and service were top notch. Our server Micheal was friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely not be so long coming back.
