RICK'S CAFE BOATYARD REVIEWS

I made reservations here for Valentine's Day. It was extremely busy yet the service was great and the food came out in a reasonable time. My wife and I both enjoyed our entrees. All the seafood was tender and cooked perfectly. Nice to know there is a great seafood option in central Indiana. Oh, and I loved the smoked Old Fashioned.

This restaurant provided a very enjoyable dining experience. The food was excellent and the service was very good. The water front location had excellent views of the sunset. The prices were also very reasonable. I would dine here again and would recommend Rick’s to family and friends.

First time visitor, will definitely be back! The Lobster Mac and Cheese was absolutely phenomenal as my main dish with plenty of leftovers for another meal! Atmosphere was fantastic, felt very upscale. We sat outside and a beautiful sunset view over the water. Bathrooms were nice and clean. Definitely give this place a try.

THE OCEANAIRE SEAFOOD ROOM REVIEWS

Probably the best lobster I have ever had! And that is saying something since we gravel the world over and I have probably had my own weight n lobster entrees. The chicken fried lobster is spectacular. Light, crispy, flavorful, moist and oh so good. Also had a fabulous halibut with fresh peaches that melts in your mouth. Elaine our server was attentive, friendly and quick. Overall fantastic meal.

My Husband and I Celebrated Our 24th Anniversary. In Indianapolis We really wanted the Dessert .Brian was our waiter he was really nice & patient. The valet parking was great Everyone was Terrific ! We Shall return The Fried Chicken Lobster and Grits was Delightful.. The Dessert was on Fire.

Absolutely the freshest seafood that I have had in a long time!!! Chilean Seabass on Ramen is outstanding. Seafood tower for four was very affordable and well finished. Scallops grilled to perfection.

OCEAN PRIME REVIEWS

My wife and I came here for a date night and we were not disappointed! It was absolutely amazing! The service was excellent! I thought that I knew what a great steak was until I had it from here! I’ve never had a steak that amazing! Everything was excellent and worth the price.

Service was outstanding and everyone very friendly. Restaurant was quite busy and crowded. The calamari appetizer was absolutely phenomenal, highly recommend! The Ocean sushi roll was also very delicious. The entrees were just okay to be honest. Would return to try a different entree dish.

Absolutely beautiful set up! Very attentive service from the moment you walk into the door until you walk out. Went for our anniversary and to say that they brought out all the stops is to say the least! Candlelit dinner with real rose petals and two complimentary desserts! Absolutely would recommend.
