" This is truly one of the hidden gems in Indianapolis! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly smiles, and the service only got better from there. The tasting menu was wonderfully curated, and each dish was a delicious product of creativity and expertise. Don’t skip the warm toffee pudding for dessert. I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" With all the rave reviews, I expected an exquisite meal but left feeling a bit disappointed. The atmosphere was nice, but it felt more upscale than cozy. My partner and I tried several dishes, but the flavors didn’t quite pop. The meatloaf was overly salty, which overshadowed the other elements of the dish. I am willing to give it another shot for lunch, hoping for better results then. " (*Curated Review*)

" A restaurant like Oakleys deserves the attention it gets. Each course we ordered was excellent, particularly the appetizers! The staff was welcoming and made our experience memorable. However, the duck dish lacked the seasoning we were expecting. Overall, the ambiance and service made up for it, and I’d happily return to try more of their creative menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" We enjoyed our visit to Oakleys Bistro, but not everything was perfect. The lamb dish we ordered didn’t have the fresh herb flavor we were expecting; it fell a bit flat. However, the appetizer of crab deviled eggs was phenomenal! The cozy, yet upscale atmosphere made it a comfortable setting for a family dinner. I hope next time the main dishes match the quality of the starters. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Oakleys on a whim, and it turned out to be a lovely surprise! The indoor space was cozy with a comfortable vibe. I had the mushroom paella, which was unique, but I may prefer something more traditional next time. The dessert was an incredible cherry clafoutis! Overall a hit, and I’ll be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience was quite enjoyable and I would absolutely recommend Oakleys to anyone looking for a nice dinner. The menu is varied and draws inspiration from various cuisines! We particularly enjoyed the lamb dish, although the pricing was on the higher end. The service was well-timed but not overly pushy. A recommendable spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was good, but the food wasn’t quite what I expected. I found the mushroom paella to be unique but lacking in depth of flavor. On the other hand, my partner enjoyed the duck n duck. We also received friendly and knowledgeable service, which is always appreciated. Despite the food being hit or miss, I’d consider returning to see if I can hit the jackpot next time. " (*Curated Review*)
