I don't know how I have lived in Indy for so long and not gone to tinker street. Wow. I had the sirloin. Perfectly marinated Carne Asada with saffron water, onions, peppers and an avocado crema. Simply delicious. The person I met had a yellow pepper cavatelli which he enjoyed a lot. He is a vegan and this is a vegan dish. The wine list was fantastic as well. We ended up splitting a bottle of wine. I got there about 30 minutes early for our reservation and had a coctail at the bar. The bar is small. Seats about 6, but the bar tender was great and had a good sense of humor and most importantly made a great coctail. The wait staff were really friendly and attentive. Looking forward to going back.

I haven't been to Tinker Street in a few years but I'm glad I came back! This is an Indy specialty for sure! My fiancé and I came for our monthly date night. I would definitely reccomend this spot for an intimate date night or even a night out with friends. The night starts with a Tinker toast which is a shot of champagne for each guest. It definitely sets the tone of quality service and luxury dining. I got the specialty cocktail which was a pineapple basil margarita. My fiancé got the garden party which was way too boozy for me haha but certainly a beautifully balanced drink when I had a sip. For appetizers we had the pork gyozas which were magnificent with a mild spicy kick. We also had Korean fried mushrooms which was adventurous for me but I'm glad I ordered. It was fried so well and was so full of flavor that I thought I was eating meat. Yum! For dinner I had the braised beef cheek ragu. Wow what an amazing pasta. The flavor was so rich and present in every bite! The pasta alone was delicious but the braised beef was excellent and I mean EXCELLENT! Hats off to the chef! I was full after dinner but I hate skipping dessert when dinner is fabulous so I had to try their offerings for dessert. I highly recommend the ricotta donuts. They were so warm and fluffy! It comes with espresso ice cream which is always a great end to an evening. I also got a taste of my partners orange olive oil cake... it was also delicious. My fiancé said he wants that cake for our wedding haha! All in all this was a great experience at an amazing restaurant! Please visit if you are in Indy and haven't been and if you HAVE been, the menu is always changing so it's definitely one to visit multiple times! I can't wait to be back!

Sat at the bar tonight for our first time at Tinker Street for my birthday dinner. It was perfection. The service was friendly and helpful. The drinks were amazing, I loved the Tulum drink, refreshing with a kick. We started with the Korean Fried Mushrooms and so tasty! I had the Sweet Pea Agnolotti which was rich and delicious without being an overwhelming portion. The hubs had the Duck & Dumplings and loved them. It was such a comfortable neighborhood place with elevated, delicious food.

OMG, I don't know where to start, EVERYTHING about our experience was SO good! There were 3 of us for dinner. We arrived early for our reservation and we were sat right away. We should have requested a table indoors because it was quite hot for a couple of people from the north (Maine & Michigan), but there was a breeze and the fans helped the air to move a bit. I had the cocktail of the day, cannot remember the name of it, but it gin and it was delicious. We had quite the spread of starters: Fried Brussel Sprouts, half dozen oysters, Korean fried mushrooms, the soup of the day - chilled roasted red pepper, asparagus salad and the beet salad. All of it was incredible. For me personally, the fried brussels sprouts were my favorite. For our large plates we had the duck and dumplings, the sirloin and the scallop and scallion risotto. Everybody loved their entrées. I had the scallop and scallion risotto - it was incredible. Everything was cooked perfectly. For dessert, we had the ricotta donuts. We split an order of four between the three of us, but I could've easily eaten a plate myself. They were so good. All of that being said, the highlight was our server. She was one of the best I've had in a really long time. I feel like an absolute jerk for not remembering her name. She was petite with a buzz cut and some great tattoos. I'm providing a description with hopes that someone at the restaurant sees this review and lets her know how awesome we thought she was - hopefully our tip showed her how awesome we thought she was. Of course we also told her. The gentleman who kept our glasses of water full all night was a delight, so kind. If we lived closer we would be in regularly. I highly recommend Tinker Street if you are ever in the area.

I won a gift card at the Savor Indianapolis event and have been waiting for the right time to use it. This dining experience was incredible - the flavors of the food in these dishes took me on an emotional journey because of how good it all was. The flavors in these dishes were spectacular. I sipped on my friend's Banana Old Fashioned with 8th Day bourbon because he was kind enough to share - normally not an old fashioned gal but WOW, I could've finished that whole cocktail. Then the tough decision for what to eat came about and I went with the scallops. Almost brought tears to my eyes with how good it was. The scallops were tender, the risotto was creamy and filling with a nice bit of spice to it. A perfectly balanced dish that I will be thinking about for a long while. The chef really created a masterpiece with that one. For dinner I got the Banana Pudding. I used to live in Georgia and that was a staple so I had to try it here. It was thicker and more rich than I've had it elsewhere and I loved every bite. I wanted to lick the dish but I somehow restrained myself. Our waitress was wonderful as well and I enjoyed meeting the manager who was very friendly. The only downside is how close all of the tables are however it did add a communal spirit to this place. Definitely want to make this a once every few months treat myself spot!

One of my favorite restaurants in the city! My husband and I love sharing a bunch of small plates so we get to try different things and this place is perfect for that! It has such a cozy and quaint vibe. They start you off with complimentary sparkling wine served by the sommelier, which is a nice touch. The cocktails are great. They have a rotating menu, which is great to try new things, but man does it stink when you find a dish that you love haha. I do believe their soup is always vegan, which is a nice touch for those who are vegan haha. We started off with the whipped ricotta, oysters, and Takoyaki which were all pretty good. Granted, the Takoyaki didn't compare to what we had in Japan, but it was a pretty good try for a restaurant in the middle of Indiana haha. I had a dish that had white beans and shrimp and OMG was it delicious. I don't think I would have normally ordered something like this but I was glad I did. The pork tenderloin and duck were also great. For dessert, we got the ricotta donuts which are phenomenal. We also go a chocolate, peanut butter parfait which was pretty good.

Romantic, elegant, cozy, and absolutely delicious. You can taste the love and passion from the kitchen that goes into each dish. Great drink selection as well. I recommend the Sirloin dish and the Mushroom Stroganoff for entree. You can add protein to any entree for an additional cost and enhance your dish. The service is top notch and they have a wine expert that is willing to answer any questions you may have about their extensive wine selection. Champagne toast for the table before dinner is always a nice touch. Highly recommend having reservations, for it is a small space perfect for dates and intimate meals with friends and loved ones.

After years of hearing about this place I finally made an appearance...but only for dessert. Two of my close friends love this place and rave about it all the time so I will need to come back for dinner sometime. We stopped in for drinks and dessert. We ordered the ricotta donuts and banana pudding. They were both really good! The atmosphere was nice and cozy. It is very small inside so I can imagine the environment is crazy loud when it's a packed house. We came in close to closing time so it wasn't too busy during our time. Overall, I had a great short experience!

I went to Tinker Street for my birthday dinner last week and it was all around a great experience! They greeted my husband and I with a champagne toast for the occasion and we put our drink orders in. I ordered one of the holiday drinks and it was great; basically a cranberry French 77! For dinner we split the brussel sprouts (so good), my husband got the steak, and me the jerk shrimp. Holy cow the jerk shrimp was amazing!! Such bold flavor and a unique dish all together. We got the peanut butter parfait and espresso for dessert and it was the perfect way to finish the meal. The service was so great! I wish I could remember our waitresses name because she was so unbelievably sweet and attentive. Really enjoyed my experience here and will be back!

Whenever I go to Tinker Street it's always an experience. The restaurant has such a warm atmosphere, and the lighting is just perfectly aesthetic. When you get to your seat at Tinker Street, they provide you with a little glass of champagne and go over what you're drinking. They have a lot of options for drinks and wines. The menu changes a lot so you probably won't ever get the same thing twice. They have a variety of options and a lot of food that I end up having to look up. I like that experience when I am eating because it challenges me to try different foods. I am willing to look past some ingredients that may not usually interest me because the combinations never miss. For me Tinker Street is fine dining. The meals and drinks are priced higher than most places in Indy, but I believe it's worth every penny. The service may not be that close to fine dining but the food and the quality of the ingredients really speak to the care and thought that goes into crafting these meals.
