Craving New American food?
Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best high-end New American restaurants around Indianapolis, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of the best spots to meet your needs.
1. Provision
Topping the list is Provision. Located at 2721 E. 86th St., Suite 200, near the The Fashion Mall at Keystone, it's the highest-rated high-end New American restaurant in Indianapolis, boasting 4.5 stars out of 158 reviews on Yelp.
The dining room of the boutique Ironworks Hotel, Provision relies on a network of sustainable and artisan providers to offer classics from burgers to snapper. A highlight is the six-course prix fixe tasting menu with sourced ingredients. It's available with wine pairings. Patrons rave about the food and the spacious patio.
2. Vida
Next up is downtown's Vida, situated at 601 E. New York St. With 4.5 stars out of 248 reviews on Yelp, the New American spot, which offers seafood and more, has proven to be a local favorite for those looking to indulge.
Vida, in Lockerbie Square, made headlines when it won a coveted AAA four-diamond rating in 2016. It offers a chef's tasting menu and a seasonal a la carte menu with the best available specialties from around the world. It also boasts of house-made charcuterie, Indianapolis’ only in-house hydroponic wall of greens and, among the dessert offerings, ricotta doughnuts that have become a local favorite.
3. Harry & Izzy's
Downtown Indianapolis' Harry & Izzy's, located at 153 S. Illinois St., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the fancy steakhouse, New American and traditional American spot four stars out of 708 reviews.
Named for Harry Roth and Izzy Rosen, owners of its neighbor, the St. Elmo Steak House, Harry and Izzy's occupies a prime spot in the heart of downtown, and it's a bustling hub on Pacers and Colts game days. Though it also offers fine steaks and seafood, Harry and Izzy's is more casual than its sister establishment, serving pizza, pasta and burgers, too.
4. Ocean Prime
Ocean Prime, a steakhouse and New American spot that offers seafood and more in Keystone at the Crossing, is another pricey go-to, with four stars out of 251 Yelp reviews. Head over to 8555 N. River Road, Suite 100, to see for yourself.
Ocean Prime is the Indianapolis representative of a national high-end dining chain headquartered in neighboring Ohio. The menu covers the red meat spectrum, from pork to porterhouse (in fact, there's a pork porterhouse). But as the name suggests, it also offers an extensive list of prepared seafood and sushi. A surf-and-turf menu on Sundays brings the two together, and a gluten-free menu removes guesswork for those with an intolerance.
5. Late Harvest Kitchen
Over in Keystone at the Crossing, check out Late Harvest Kitchen, which has earned four stars out of 249 reviews on Yelp. Treat yourself at the New American spot by heading over to 8605 River Crossing Blvd.
Opened in 2011, Late Harvest Kitchen quickly became a landmark on the Indianapolis food scene. Offering praise for founding chef Ryan Nelson, IndyStar.com said his "dishes such as deep-fried deviled eggs and General Tso’s pork belly are
so beloved they have become menu staples alongside seasonal dishes
like marinated and grilled radicchio with orange zest, balsamic
vinaigrette and melted mozzarella." Insiders say to sit at the bar for a “secret” burger.
