| - Since Indigo opened, I've been here 4 times - but the first three visits were within the first few months of opening. Thus, we had a great experience twice, and the 3rd time not-so-great which caused us to delay a return visit. As a local, I want... I NEED to give local restaurants the benefit of the doubt and delay judgment. I'm so glad I did!! Today's visit was was fantastic and I'm a bit disappointed that I waited this long to return. I like to have several visits under my belt until I review new local Creek spots. The ambiance is pretty awesome - it's big, modern rustic in aesthetic, and very Creeky.
Cocktail list is great! A large list of handcrafted cocktails with fresh ingredients. Hubby drinks Moscow Mules, and so our kids have taken to ginger ale + lime as a drink. Indigo served up a great N/A ginger beer plus lime for the kids, no Seagrams! Wine list is extensive and wonderful. Rombauer chardonnay by the glass = YES, please! We also enjoyed a Stags Leap red blend by the glass. Wine people need not be worried about the wine options at Indigo.
We started with a prosciutto with pulled mozzarella (basically a caprese) which was a great starter. My kids are foodies, and typical kids menus don't cut it for them. My older now always orders off adult menus because of the lack of options. Off the kids menu: One shrimp fettuccine pasta with cream sauce. Shrimp was large, flavorful... an awesome kids dish. Perfect! For the rest of us, we had the Ling (cod, kind of like halibut) on a bed of broccolette, lobster ravioli (so rich!) with a lobster tail, and the airline chicken. The ling was cooked perfectly, wonderously as was everything we ordered.
We had the flourless chocolate cake with a raspberry sauce for dessert and it was awesome as well! So good with the last of the Stags Leap red blend we had. Julio was our waiter, and he was on point and delivered exceptionally good service and great suggestions on ordering, questions, etc. He was awesome and was always there when we needed him. I freak out (not literally, I just get a little sad) when I get my dinner arrives and - GASP - my first glass of wine is gone. Julio timed my wine perfectly, and made sure my Rombauer was there before the perfectly prepared Ling was delivered.
We will definitely be back and look forward to a menu that changes occasionally (it was changed since our initial visits -- so please continue doing that!) so we can return as regulars and enjoy different meals and experiences.
