Friday
Friday the 13th. It sounds so ominous when I say it that way! We continued our adventure as tourists in our own town. We checked in to the Stone Soup Inn , located in the heart of Indy's historic Old Northside. The Inn's charm is welcoming, and the Lilly Room offered a great view of downtown Indianapolis. After settling in to our room, we visited Circle Center Mall to do some shoe shopping. I would like to point out the bitter irony of shoe shopping, which ended with Thom - two vs. Karen - zero. Maybe that WAS the scary part of Friday the 13th.
We arrived at Euphoria at around 8:30 p.m.. Unfortunately, we won't be posting any pictures of that.......mostly because I didn't enjoy it all that much. (You do know I'm talking about Euphoria the restaurant, right?) Euphoria is located in Buggs Temple on W. 11th St. The former church has been restored to include Creation Cafe on the first floor (think local version of Panera) and Euphoria (fine dining concept) on the second floor.
The dining experience was a great reminder of what happens when the kitchen cooks without passion. In fact, I was rather shocked to see such favorable reviews of the staff (chef, in particular) gracing the walls. There is no possible way that chef cooked our food.......like the fresh from the semi-truck rolls (still frozen in the center), begging to be seasoned entrees and chewy dessert profiteroles. Our server worked hard, but I am still proposing a restaurant name change from "Euphoria" to "Snooze-oria."
Editor's note: I did really enjoy the service and especially enjoyed a braise short rib entree.
Stay tuned for Saturday.
