The Oakmont

The restaurant is relatively small and has no on-site parking. The décor has a hipster vibe, with modern art covering the walls and a live DJ spinning records. The music competed with the already loud camaraderie in the space, so it’s definitely energetic. The restaurant is 21+ only, requires a credit card for reservations, and has a strict policy that your full party must be present before being seated. We ordered a wide array of food. The pancake board was served with thinly sliced fresh fruit, Nutella, bacon, and syrup. I don’t eat pork, so I ordered a side of chicken sausage instead, which ended up being the best part of my meal. It was cooked perfectly and served with a light, syrupy roux. Each bite made me excited for the next. The pancakes themselves were thick and dense, not my personal favorite. The fruit was fresh and the nuts helped elevate the flavor, but I only ate one pancake. The board is served for six and could easily have fed our entire party. My sister said her salmon tacos were delicious, and my niece felt the same about her steak tacos. Another niece enjoyed her bacon cheeseburger and found it very filling, she only ate half. My other nieces both enjoyed their steak with truffle fries, which were really good. The espresso martinis were also a big hit with my nieces. Overall, a lively atmosphere with generous portions and several standout dishes, especially the chicken sausage and truffle fries, but be prepared to wait if your party is large regardless if you have a reservation. We waited 40 minutes and had a reservation and 20% gratitude is added for parties 6+

We made a reservation for two today and were seated right away. Our server was wonderful—friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. The food was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed the fried deviled eggs appetizer, our meals avocado toast, and a basic breakfast, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. The mimosa bottle is a great deal were perfect for brunch, and the coffee had an excellent flavor as well. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we will definitely be back!

Outstanding First Visit — Already Looking Forward to the Next We had an amazing dining experience on our first, but definitely not our last, visit to The Oakmont. The facility is stylish and comfortable, offering a mix of seating options that work just as well for a relaxed single dinner as they likely do for the fun, lively atmosphere I imagine takes over on the weekends. The bar area is especially inviting, with a great lineup of cocktails, Bourbons, draft or bottled beer, plus more and a warm, social vibe. The service was friendly, attentive, and made the evening feel easy and enjoyable. Our food was very good. My wife ordered the Atlantic Salmon, paired with their signature Blackberry Bourbon Sidecar. She loved both—she said the salmon delicious, and even the sip of the cocktail I tried was excellent. I ordered a side of fries that were exactlyas tou would want, but the real standout was the House Chips. The seasoning was perfect and made them unforgettable. If there’s one challenge, it’s parking—especially if you’re not familiar with the area. That said, there is a parking garage directly across the street, and anyone who knows the downtown layout should have no trouble finding a spot just a short walk away. Overall, The Oakmont delivered a fantastic experience from start to finish. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We’ll absolutely be back.

When I say this place has made me feel so welcome to Indianapolis… I moved here from Louisiana, 13 hours from home… I come here at least once a week since I’ve moved here to enjoy an elegant meal and delightful drink! Thank you to all that work here for your excellent customer service ❤️ and to making me feel at home 🏡

Cool vibe in a modern pub on Mass Ave in Downtown Indianapolis. Nice outdoor patio area in a bustling nightlife neighborhood. Friendly staff and cold beer 🍻 cheers!
