Sophisticated heartland cuisine served amid the casual elegance of an award-winning downtown hotel.

by Contributor

The Scene
The hotel restaurant in the distinguished downtown Marriott has become a prized dining destination. The inviting room features oversized cushy booths, warm wood tones and vibrant artwork that depicts local scenes--including a full wall devoted to the majestic Monument Circle.

The Food
There's a regional twist to the eclectic, innovative menu, which looks to the Indiana countryside for culinary inspiration. Mouthwatering dishes like homegrown Maple Leaf Farms breast of duck served with sweet orange segments, crunchy hazelnut croquettes and crisp summer vegetables update local traditions. While the eight-ounce filet mignon is butter-tender, set off by a flavorful mushroom glaze. Circle City's local concept extends to its selection of wines, which includes only North American labels. A giant slice of creamy carrot cake topped with a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream makes a sweet finish.
