I ate at the Glass Chimney several years ago and then again recently on a weekend evening. It appears the restaurant has declined tremendously since the new owners have taken over. The prices are extremely high considering the restaurant's interior, quality of food and waitstaff's appearance for professionalism. They should flatten the building and sell the land and forget the Glass Chimney all together.
Pros: Location / Parking
Cons: Everything Else

Recently I ate at the Glass Castle with 12 family members. My husband, parents, aunt and I were all disappointed with our food, considering how much it cost. For example, I decided to splurge and treat myself to a $43 steak. It was very hard to chew and the flavoring wasn't anything special. The rest of the food was very average. However, the bill was very high! Not worth the cost. The restaurant recently came under new ownership and perhaps that has something to do with it. In the past this was my grandparents' favorite restaurant in Indy.
Pros: Polite and helpful waitstaff
Cons: Food not worth the price

We recently had dinner at Deeter's with two friends of ours. A couple of the specials were Dover Sole and Grouper. Our two guests had the Sole and my wife opted for the Grouper. When the bill came I was shocked to see the Sole priced at $54/order. The two orders were about 5 oz each in size. The Grouper was $35, but a fairly nice sized piece of fish. The restaurant was far from full as in the old days when Deeter was there. This may be in part due to the expansion, but also due to some of the exorbitant prices. We didn't say anything in front of our guests, but my wife called later and was told it was imported fish, the devaluation of the dollar, etc. They got me this time, but we won't be back and we've been dinning there for nearly 30 years. Beware of "Specials" - they're the primary profit center for this restaurant! It's too bad the new owners are ruining a once great restaurant by charging New York prices in Indiana.
Pros: Always good food, great service.
Cons: Prices are way out of line for Indianapolis

Have been going to the Glass Chimney for about 20 years. The service and food have remained outstanding. My favorites ? Oyster Cocktail, French Onion Soup, Asparagus, Filet, Fish specials (Chilean Sea Bass & Barramundi). All of the deserts are to die for. I especially enjoy those that come with a show ? like table side banana?s foster. Dennis also has some off the menu crepe specialties that are excellent. Gabriel, Dennis and David have all been providing me with great service over the years.
I am a little disappointed that they were forced to give in and relax their dress code. I always like the mandatory coat and tie.
I have noticed no change in service or food with the new ownership. It?s also nice to have Deeter?s open for lunch (with a reasonably priced menu)
Great for special occasions or business meetings.
Pros: Quality Food and Service
Cons: Limited Seating

The Glass Chimney is where to go if you want to pop the question, celebrate an anniversary, or impress the boss. It's swanky in an old-school style ... rich wall coverings, oil paintings, plush seats, and tables covered with fine china, crystal and silver. The menu is European with a heavy French influence, exquisitely prepared. The service is impeccable - these are career servers, not college kids waiting for something better to come along. Arrive hungry and ready to spend a little money, this is the sort of place where you can spend $200 a couple for a full-course meal, and not regret one penny. If you aren't ready for that extravagant of a meal, check out the attached pub Deeters. ** While construction continues in late 2007, special pricing is available, making The Glass Chimney a deal! **

I had been going here for many many years with my mothers side of my family (specifically my grandparents) since I was a child. Sadly, my grandmother passed away, and we don't go there anymore - its a bit out of my price range being a 20-something...however, it was always delicious, beautiful, elegant, and gave me so many memories. Wonderful for special occassions!
Pros: Quiet, Romantic, High Quality
Cons: Exspensive
