The Corsaro Group Reviews

I ve been there several times over lunch and dinner. Max and the rest of the staff are always super friendly and the food is always great!

Pork tenderloin is really good. I also like the black bean burger. Try them!

Great place to eat with your pet. The food is fabulously. Try the white buffalo sauce

Gourmet 7in pizzas! Owners are fabulous people :-)

Nice ambiance, decent menu, and reasonable prices. Ember Urban Eatery is alright with me.

Stopped on for a late lunch, ordered the house made tomato bisque and grilled cheese. Really hit the spot on a cold day.

Amazing smoked wings and Alabama White BBQ sauce. Tomato bisque was good. Brisket ragu over grits was delicious and filling. The pork tenderloin sandwich was appropriately huge but also crisp and tender. Great service. Food came out quickly. Good food for the price.

Food was great. Went for lunch. Although my order when delivered was incorrect they promptly fixed it, admitted their mistake, and bought my lunch without me saying a word. That is great service and I will return.

Excellent spot to stop for a bite to eat. Great location in an up and coming area along the cultural trail. They have outdoor seating with a nice view of downtown. Great menu choices, esp. the sandwiches and burgers. The wings are also fantastic. Good selection of local beers and everything at reasonable prices. I've been here many times over the last few years and always enjoy coming back. The owners and wait staff are always friendly as well!

The food was excellent!!! Service was exemplary!! Top notch!! All around great place!!

Alyssa was attentive, suggestive and made great cocktails, from the manager to the staff they made us feel welcome and gave great recommendations. The restaurant was clean, stylish and thankfully not too busy so we had great service and loved the Canjun Brisket Fettuccine. The best part was that she overheard that it was my birthday and offered me a birthday sundae before I left. Great night without any complaints! Better than I could have imagined!

Great experience food was awesome from the appetizer to the desserts. Definitely a place to go back to.

What a menu here!!! Amazing staff and dinner choices!! Can't miss here.

Perfect example of family run establishment with fresh tasty food.

Excellent vibe with a upbeat atmosphere. Hotel clerk recommended as a place for locals. Blackened chicken flatbread was perfectly portioned and delicious. Cobb salad also a great choice.

The wings were very smokey & tasty & the pasta we had was delicious . Would go back . Waitress was really nice .

Delicious food. Reasonable prices. Fantastic service

The best owners. They and their employees take very good care of you. Good food and healthy pours !

Highly recommend beef brisket, whether pasta, bbq sandwich or in any form on menu. Outstanding taste!

Food was great and the staff was very friendly would definitely order from here again next time i come up to Indy

I love a local restaurant, and this one was good. There was a large selection of options to choose from. I ordered the roasted vegetable ragu (roasted veggies with a tomato based sauce on a bed of quinoa). It was exceptional. I also heard the wings are awesome!

I enjoyed my dining experience here during Devour Downtown, but I wasn't blown away. I got a flight of beers, which were good if not a bit pricey. For dinner I had the brisket, which had a good flavor but was a little dry. My girlfriend got the Chicken Diablo Pasta; she thought it was a little spicy, but I enjoyed it. Maybe even liked it better than the brisket, which is not typical.

Dessert was by far the most disappointing part. I had some coconut ice cream that came in a paper cup; girlfriend's sticky toffee pudding was okay, but quite salty.

Great atmosphere and very good food. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

My friends and I went to Ember during Devour Downtown Indy. I had the goat cheese appetizer, brisket dinner, and chocolate, chocolate, chocolate dessert. Everything was Amazing! Our server, Jake, was wonderful also! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Have had the pleasure to frequent this establishment on numerous occasions.
The staff is attentive, fun and knowledgeable about their menu. The food is off the charts good, from the best wings i have ever had to tbe sloppy joe platter and everything in between. My favorite restaurant downtown indy, hands down

First time there such a great place food drinks prices right I'll be back many times perfect location also

We visited Ember Urban Eatery at the recommendation of my friend and his parents. We were so pleased with the service. We were promptly welcomed when we walked in and our server Matt was very accommodating. The food was OUTSTANDING. Those wings! I can t get them out of my mind, and don t get me started on the dipping sauce! Amazing! Everyone at our table of four enjoyed their food, from the steak to the Cuban to the baked penne pasta and the breaded tenderloin. I found my new favorite cocktail in their Cool as a Cucumber martini. Soooo smooth and refreshing. Can't wait to come back on a night when I can drink more than two and just Uber home. Rob and Shelley, the owners, were welcoming and friendly and take great pride in their establishment and are very attentive. Truly a great experience!

We came here on accident, but we might come back tomorrow! The wings were tasty and the specialty burger, can't remember the name, but it was tasty!

Very courteous staff. Quick service without being intrusive.

One of my favorite places...great food (the smoked wings and brisket are features and the black bean burger may be the best in Indy), a good selection of beers, excellent service and friendly staff. Also reasonably quiet - a good place for talk over a meal! Recommended!

Mom and Pop restaurant right in the middle of downtown Indy. The owners are very friendly and personable. Great food, lots of regulars who all knew each other and the staff. If you want to get away from the pretension and just have some good food in a friendly atmosphere, this is the place!

Got to get back. Perfect spot for teachers to walk to after the Red for Ed rally

Everything was delicious, and staff was was very friendly. Will definitely be back!

We were visiting for the Pride Weekend and stopped here for dinner. We were pleasantly pleases with the Wings and fries. Now I don't like fries but these were amazing. The server kept trying to get me to eat the mint chocolate brownie but can't hold that against them lol. Go eat and enjoy.

Here you will find the very best French fries in town accompanied by the best burger...The Dean s Burger!

First time eating there . staff was extremely nice and the food was great.

Good food but it's super small. Went with a party of 7 and took a long time for a table

First of all, the kitchen closes somewhat before the advertised closing time of 10pm.

We had wonderful service, and though it wasn't busy at all, extremely fast. My kids (10, 8, 4) were welcomed warmly, even downtown in the late evening where kids aren't ever-present. Classic kids menu items were available for their very picky eating tastes, which is not a given downtown.

The tomato bisque, Texas reuben, baked goat cheese, and fries were all quite good, and the chicken fingers seemed to satisfy two of my kids. The kids mac & cheese was different than one might expect, maybe less salty and more of a white cheese sauce, but good. The pasta was actually cavatappi, which I think is a nicer look and texture than macaroni anyway.

The decor isn't extra fancy, but modern, cozy, and comfortable, with TV's showing multiple channels but not overwhelming the place. The Indy skyline decorative theme works well.

Prices are just a bit higher than I'd like, especially for kids meals with no drinks included, but perhaps par for the course in the downtown area.

The food is terrific. The service is superb. Love love this place!!

Celebrated my birthday with our best friends..dinner and drinks were great!!!
It was all of our first time...will be back!!!

Excellent service and the owners are very friendly. Nice place with a cozy atmosphere. They surprisingly have really good local beers on tap also. Their mash potatoes are amazing. Definitely a secret spot at the beginning of Virginia Ave to check out.

Went for lunch on a Sunday not knowing they only served brunch. Food wasn't bad the host, a gentleman who's name I can't remember was very polite and welcoming. I'll return on another day to see how the lunch menu pans out.

Food was great! The staff was friendly, attentive and helpful

They have the best brisket in tenderloins. The service is always good

I love the Dean's burger, but they have vegan options, as well! Atmosphere is amazing, staff is friendly.

Great food, friendly staff, awesome burgers and tenderloin sandwiches.

Location is fairly close to Colts & Pacers stadiums. Food was good and had some unique selections. Price of food is moderate. Size of location is decent size for a downtown establishment. Service was prompt and good. Parking may be an issue. Also this establishment is not a late evening location. Definitely a place to try out.

A very low key, relaxed atmosphere- definitely casual or business casual attire. Don't let that fool you though. Some of the best food I have eaten in town- hands down. We started with the chicken wings....Let me just stop there, they are insanely good with a delicious smokey flavor (1/2 price on Wednesday's too by way). Best wings I have ever had. Next, I had the Cajun brisket alfredo..Need I say more. whoever thought this up was a genius. The sauce is smokey and robust and the noodles (almost a linguine) were cooked to perfection..Bravo! Our server Matt was fantastic. We will definitely be returning. We were referred to Ember by a friend and what an amazing dining experience. Thank you so much!

I work around downtown idny and love stopping in here for lunch. Staff is wonderful, and food is exceptional! If you have the chance to stop in, get a Reuben or a tenderloin! Best around!

excellent service the waiter Mathew amazing super nice food was to die for do delicious

Wife and I enjoyed a quiet dinner here. The desserts are worth saving some room.

Shelly and Rob are awesome! Food is awesome, brisket is second to none though! Do yourself a favor and save room for their pecan ball, trust me!!

Husband and I had just killed 2 hours at Tappers around the corner and was hungry. We came here and was greater by a very nice waiter, quick, and friendly. We sat outside, tables where clean and nice. Had the buffalo chicken sandwhich and Hubby had the brisket bbq sandwhich both of us had fries. The buffallo chicken was on a ciabbata bun which was soft but still held, was so nice as most of the time ciabbata bread is hard. Took a bite of Hubbys brisket sandwhich and it was good too. The fries where cooked perfectly. It's a small place but such good food, its tucked away a bit.

The food was good and the lunch service was fast too. I had their 1/2 lb chicken wings with fries for less than $10. It is way better than anything I can find in the cafeteria at work. My friend and colleague had a sloppy jack with fries. The dressing that came with my order was very flavorful and tasty. I will recommend this place anytime for lunch.

Max took great care of us tonight.
I really enjoyed the chicken wings & fries & my wife had the pasta arrabbiata with chicken. We topped off dinner with the Carmel pecan ball for dessert. Great service, good food, good atmosphere!! You can sit outside in the great weather or catch some great college football on the four screens inside. Good choice here guys, check it out. You should have a great experience like I did this evening.

Had an amazing experience here tonight! Came to grab a bite to eat after visiting the Murat. We were seated immediately and our waitress was very nice and helpful. Our family had the breaded tenderloin sandwich, brisket dinner, burger, and the reuban and they were all cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. I highly recommend stopping in for a bite to eat while you are out and about

Ember has done a phenomenal job updating accommodations inside the restaurant to help keep patrons safe. I really appreciate the addition of plastic shields between booths and servers were wearing masks, keeping their distance and making sure all the groups were seated apart from others. I felt safer inside Ember than I have at other outdoor eateries.

Despite the distance, our service was still spectacular, very friendly and prompt. And our food was delicious as always. My Southwest salad with grilled chicken was fresh, flavorful and a good portion for dinner. It was a perfect light meal that I followed with a quaalude martini and bread pudding for dessert. The cocktail was dangerously good, so rich and decadent it was more like a milkshake than a martini. And the bread pudding was perfectly sweet, warm and gooey.

Delicious food and great service! Try the pork tenderloin - it's the best in Indy!!

Food poisoning!!!! My husband and I both immediately became ill after eating here. Watch out!! Our food was overcooked- which probably helped cover up anything spoiled. Eat here at your own risk!

Nice causal place, good food, great service even when busy.

Food was good service is better I had a Cobb salad with plenty herb dressing it was great but as I said I think your staff was even better try to space out I didn't get the burgers but they look pretty good

Love the food and the staff was very friendly, great happy hour specials

My family (myself, husband, & two sons) ate here this evening & it was fantastic! The brisket was superb as were the wings. Jake took great care of us & was very helpful in making food choices. We will definitely make a stop the next time we're in Indianapolis or even just passing through.

I sat outside with a few friends for dinner. The waiter was fantastic. Patient, as we were slow to order, and has lots of great food recommendations. Food was good and moderately priced. Outside seating has a nice view towards downtown. Just north of a redline stop.

Had the best vegitarian chili and black bean burger ever. And the service was outstanding.

Delicious! They did an amazing job for Devour Downtown! I was very impressed with my pasta dish.

Outstanding service and the BEST smoked wings.....on EARTH!

Pleasant atmosphere. Great food. Modern neighborhood feel. Great service.

Wonderful experience!!! Food and service was great! Will definitely return!!!!

First of all excellent staff. Max did an A + job. Food was wonderful. Portions were generous and everything is made from scratch. Large menu full of delicious options. Impressed. Will return.

Great service. This place is small. Do not recommend for groups larger than 4. There is only 1 area that can accommodate a larger group, and it's in the middle of a walkway.
The food was good. Everyone in our group enjoyed what they ordered.

Decent food, very friendly staff and the wine prices were solid. We were there during Devour Indy, so certain menu selections were discounted if you went with the Devour menu. We will go back again.

I usually dont write reviews after a first visit but this place deserves praise! Our family chose to meet here because it had a small parking lot out front, and I went in with no expectations. Our waiter was fantastic and took very good care of us, he made great suggestions too.

We had their wings for an appetizers per his suggestion and they blew me away. Didn't even need sauce, they were perfectly crisp on the outside and flavorful all on their own. I then had the Cajun brisket pasta because it sounded interesting, and the flavor was nice, although I personally prefer a little more spice in things. My Moscow mule was delicious. There was so much to choose from on the menu, definitely something for everyone.

I loved the quiet atmosphere we experienced on a Saturday night and the great food and service. We will definitely be returning.

Very pricey and not impressed with the food at all and there were 13 of us! Not one of us was impressed!!!!
