Toasts and Tastes: Celebrating Love at Tinker Street
Celebrating our one-year anniversary at Tinker Street Restaurant was an absolute delight, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The range of flavors and culinary surprises on the menu surpassed our expectations. Each bite was a revelation, packed with an explosion of delightful tastes that left us pleasantly shocked.
The cocktails were nothing short of delicious, complementing the innovative menu perfectly. Our server was incredible—attentive, kind, and truly enhanced our dining experience. The entire staff made us feel genuinely taken care of. Without a doubt, we'll be returning soon to indulge in more of Tinker Street's culinary magic. An unforgettable anniversary celebration!
My wife and I had the opportunity to enjoy a fabulous meal for a spontaneous date night. Everything that Tinker Street had to offer was simply perfect.
Some of the most attentive and well-mannered staff we have encountered. The craft cocktails were absolutely delicious and the food was perfectly cooked and prepared flawlessly.
I highly encourage anyone to make Tinker Street their next destination for a date night destination.
Went to celebrate our 18th anniversary, and do our tradition of trying something new. First off, the food was amazing and our waitress was very spot on with recommendations. However, their moto shouldn't be "make your special evening one to remember at Tinker Street" or claim "we are the perfect spot for a romantic date night", as it is certainly more corner bar meets bistro. Not my ideal spot to try and feel romantic. For the price of admission, so to speak, I would much rather have something like Union 50 or Vida. The food can certainly hold up to the cost. However I am going for the total experience, and this just wasn't it.
We had:
-Korean Fried Mushrooms
-Cheese & Charcuterie Board
-The Duck w/duck egg
-Pork Belly Pastor
-Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake
-Matcha Cake w/espresso ice cream
-Four Roses Biscof Old Fashioned
-Bone Chiller
It started with complimentary champagne. Then the appetizer. I had the Patagonian Salmon. Sweet and spicy. All in all I was impressed at this tiny establishment. I will come back to try something different.
Tinker Street in Indianapolis exceeded all expectations! The pork chops were tender and packed with flavor, perfectly cooked. The addition of peaches with seasonal vegetables added a nice sweetness to the savory dish. The warm ambiance and friendly staff made the dining experience even more enjoyable. 🍽️😍🌟
Great restaurant for a special occasion! Wonderful wine and cocktail list, and a sommelier to help make decisions. Miso oysters are excellent, and many vegan/vegetarian options. Highly, highly recommend!
The service was ok. The server friendly but asked if we wanted refills instead of just topping off an empty iced tea. The fish was slightly undercooked for our taste, but was an overall nice place to dine. The new persimmon desert was terrific. I would go back for that desert again.
The atmosphere was a closed in patio to keep warm. This would be much more enjoyable/festive on a warmer day.
Amazing restaurant and experience. The servers and sommelier are very knowledgeable, the food is so unique and well crafted, the atmosphere and decor are lovely. All in all a great experience with great locally sourced foods and great vegetarian and vegan options.
I learned of Tinker Street Restaurant from a tiktok and wow does this place impress. Be warned, it is a bit more expensive than what you might be used to in Indiana, but the food is excellent. On Thursdays, they have a wagyu burger special that is only available that day. It is constantly changing so you never know what exciting flavor will tickle your tastebuds that Thursday. Every dish is crafted with detail to each ingredient that makes the food complex and complimentary. You will be blown away by combinations you may have never imagined. I highly suggest the Korean mushroom appetizer. There were so many options, I will have to revisit this wonderful location. I would suggest reservations because they are very busy due to the amazing food. Treat yourself and maybe a loved one. You won't be sorry you splurged on yourself. You deserve it.
Really loved this place. We were driving through on our way home to Louisville and stopped by for a nice dinner. I’m vegetarian so my husband picked this place for the great vegetarian options.
We enjoyed a nice dinner and a cocktail. After leaving, I did not notice that I had left my purse behind.
The restaurant called us to let us know that we left it, but we were already almost back to Louisville two hours away.
Long story short, The team at the restaurant was able to ship my purse to us. We were willing to pay for shipping, but they took care of it and refused to take the money. I would call that exceptional customer service, which you don’t find these days.
Thank you to everyone who served us and to those who took care of my purse as well as getting it shipped out for us with nothing missing 3 months later! The world needs more people like you in the customer service industry!
Tinker street is a great restaurant, we loved how the waitress brought a free apéritif at the start of the meal, great service! The menu is really interesting, perfect for mushroom lovers! The tables are quite close together, keep this in mind if you prefer a more private or quieter dining experience. We had a table booked at 6 on a weeknight but it got busy by 7. We ordered the baked peach starter, It was gorgeously presented, loved the goats cheese but other than that I found it underwhelming. For the main course I ordered the duck. It was sensational and I finished every bite! Plenty of menu options to choose from, will come again.
Absolutely incredible dining experience. Cozy restaurant with plenty of little touches- blankets on chairs, complimentary champagne- with the best fried mushrooms I've had. The kimchi is astoundingly good and the service incredible. My photos don't do justice to the plating. Jennifer was an awesome server!
The Great: Korean mushrooms, Ssam, Paloma mocktail
The Good: Shrimp and grits, ginger mocktail, the duck
Other: Apple dutch baby, yellowtail sashimi
Edit: 4 months later and I'm still thinking about their fried mushroom app. BUY THAT.
This was such a beautiful little place. The food was delicious, the staff were awesome.
We started with a Charcuterie board.
My husband and I got the steak meal and my brother in law got the pizza special. We had a bottle of wine and my husband had a whiskey drink w a cookie in it lol.
We got dessert too!! Delicious!!
We would definitely go back!!
Food, Service, and Atmosphere are always 100 at Tinker Street. Every plate is perfectly balanced. And the dessert. Again perfectly balanced. I’m a New Yorker who moved back after 20 years away and I take every NYC guest that visits to TS.
Solid B+ restaurant. We had reservations but didn’t know they would be outside so it was very hot for dinner. Menu options are on the pricier side, but the food wasn’t quite good enough to justify it.
Enjoyed a birthday dinner here with some friends. Everything was absolutely incredible! We ordered several appetizers, a bottle of wine, an entree for each of us, and dessert. The mushroom pierogis and the Korean fried mushrooms were my favorite apps from the night. I ordered a duck Parmesan, which was the special for the night. All of the food was phenomenal and the staff was lovely. Highly recommend Tinker Street for any special occasion, or just because you like amazing food!
It's hard to describe how good this evening was, but I'll try. Starting with the Tinker Street toast, champagne, and through out the meal, service was some of the best I've experienced. We had the whipped butternut squash as our appetizer. The mixture of flavors from the pickled cranberries, blue cheese and honey was spectacular. I had Galbijim Cappelltti for the main course. Never would have thought to pair Korean and Italian in one dish, but the chef did it with such skill and created a fabulous dish. My friend had the salmon. It was cooked so perfectly she left no leftover. She raved about it all the way home.
Wordy, I know, but it was just a great dining experience. If you get the chance, go! * and remember to make a reservation!)
Food was good, with some dishes being so good (carrot gnocchi was richly flavorful and texturally ethereal) they made it hard to be impressed or excited by the others (halibut was technically flawless with [almost-boringly] classic flavor choices). Desserts stole the show; strawberry ice cream with crystallized basil and fig ice cream were outstanding and the ricotta donuts are not to be missed. In other words, Tinker Street's return is a welcomed one!
