We recommend the Paddock or Cannon Ball Lounge (rooftop bar). The Hullman is also available for buyouts for dinner or brunch.

Thai cuisine and innovative cocktails. 21+ only but if your group is only adults and food driven, this will be a highlight!
Fountain Square
The brunch of our dreams! Milktooth is a real treat. You will likely need to buy out this space as they are not normally open for dinner. The chef also owns Beholder and is a James Beard Nominee - customize your menu with the the team to suit your needs
A locally owned steakhouse located in Fountain Square. Private upstairs dining available with the possibility of renting the downstairs. Owned by Fat Dan's.
If you're familiar with the Dugout in Foutain Square, this may seem like an odd suggestion. However, they purchased what used to be the gelato shop next door and have turned it into an event space. This would be for couples looking for a more laid back rehearsal dinner

Fresh, full flavored Mexican food in a casual environment. Family friendly.
Keystone
Ruth's Chris Iron Works (or downtown)
