Plow Anchor - Indianapolis

The scallops appetizer was way too spicy, and the desserts were average considering the price. Additionally, the food was served much too quickly, which was quite off-putting for a date night. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place for a romantic evening.

The service and location were excellent. We were caught off guard by a special menu for the New Year's holiday, which meant we didn’t get to enjoy the original dishes we were looking forward to. Although the food was still tasty, the menu was quite limited, featuring only a few options for the main course, appetizers, and desserts. It felt a bit pricey, but we only visit this place for special occasions, so it was worth it.

The dining experience was eclectic, but it wasn't really to my taste. The dinner for two, including wine, was on the pricey side, totaling over $100. While the server was knowledgeable, I don't plan on returning to this restaurant.

The oysters were great, but other meals were unstoppable

We will go back! We began with the arugula salad. It's large so my husband and I split it. Very light and tasty. Shaved Parm cheese and diced pears evened out the bitterness of the arugula. My husband ordered the ribeye, medium, and it was perfect. Juicy, tender, with dollops of red pepper aioli. It was served with piping hot potato croquettes and roasted broccoli. I had the grilled swordfish, served over a white bean purée. No disappointment here. The fish smelled tasted fresh, was simply seasoned with cracked pepper and topped with a delish diced celery slaw. So refreshing! The white beans were surprisingly tasty; almost like mashed potatoes, but better! I was surprised that the combo of beans and fish was such a tasty mix. We ended the evening with sweet potato pie. Can't go wrong there. Now for some downsides. There is a parking garage next to the restaurant for the library. Our waiter told us it closes when the library does, but the hours aren't posted, so we got our car out of there, just in case. Also, this place is very NOISY! Concrete floors, metal chairs, and a high, open ceiling lead to a super loud space. The night we went, there were only four other tables being served and it was really hard to hear each other. This was an anniversary dinner so we were hoping for a more quiet atmosphere. I can't imagine what it's like when full on a weekend evening. Other than that, it was a delightful evening.
