Reviews for Festiva in Indianapolis, IN
Great food. Cool atmosphere. Sangria was legit. Fish tacos were good. Portions are large.
This is our go-to brunch place, but it’s recently also my favorite casual bar and dinner place. I say casual because of the... atmosphere, but the service and quality is always high end. Merriam and Ross always take spectacular care of us, and we leavewell-fed and happy every time. At brunch, my favorite dish is French toast. Tonight we had their scallops special which wasfresh, savory, and the right amount of spicy. Cocktails are remarkable. It’s awesome that a neighborhood place can have suchvariety in a changing menu and retain such consistent quality. I wish I could share photos, but by the time I remember, theplates are empty.

Very cool upscale Mexican place with great cocktails. The food is fairly traditional with little bits of culinary flair - it is... NOT taco bell style Mexican. We were very impressed by the cocktails, sangria, and the vibe of the bar. The churros are alsoincredible. Read more
I have heard so many things about festiva from different friends so we decided to have brunch with our two of our friends. 3 of... us did the bottomless drinks for $20/person (you must buy an entrée) 2 of us had peach sangria, and my husband had the paloma.The sangria was ok, usually after 2 drinks I have a slight buzz, there was nothing which is not normal for me. The paloma wasdisappointing because it was missing ingredients. The best part of a paloma is the smokiness from the mezcal and this did nothave that at all. My husband and I had the mexican benedict and the eggs were poached hard. For me the best part of a poachedegg as well as benedict is the burst ???? you get when cutting into the center of the egg and it's rich velvety texture andflavor it adds. The corn biscuit tasted good but it was exceptionally hard to cut especially since I had hand surgery inOctober. My husband asked for the black bean purée on the side and instead it was entered in the POS as no black beans. Ourfriend got the biscuit and gravy and was not expecting the corn biscuit which is completely a throw off from a traditionalbiscuit. The corn tasted good but it left you with overwhelming corn meal taste in our mouth. The pablano cream sauce wasdevine, for me if my yolks were runny like a poached egg should be it would have been great. Our server was socially awkwardwhich kind of through off the experience which I have never had a server be that way before especially in an urban setting. I'mnot saying we won't be back but I can't find the value in our $140+ bill and it's definitely not on our near future re-visitlist. Read more
I've mixed feelings about this place. I've never been disappointed, but I've also never been blown away. Everything is pretty... good if you're in the mood for it! Read more
The food here is amazing and the atmosphere is so chic. Cannot wait to come back and try more things! They have some enclosed... patio seating and true outdoor seating as well as on-site parking. Read more

We ate here after taking an Uber from the art museum. The ratings were good so we tried it. We were dropped off and did not know... what to think. It is a small establishment on a city street. We were asked if we had reservations and didn’t but it was stillbefore 6pm and we were lucky. The place was packed when we left at 7pm on a Tuesday night. The food was excellent and theservice was unbelievable. Our appetizer and drinks showed up seconds after we ordered thanks to the electronic device the waiterhad. I highly recommend this place.
