I've been coming to Rick's for over 20 years! The food has always been very good no matter what I ordered! I usually get the shrimp scampi! I ordered this last month and for the first time in many years it was awful. I was so disappointed. I know they have changed hands but this restaurant is not only known for the atmosphere but how good the food is! I am going to try it one more time! I truly hope it's better! I have heard this from multiple people! Sad if this doesn't change!! More...

My daughter and friends went last night to celebrate her birthday. She originally had a party of 20 but only 7 showed up including her even after confirming the night before. Anywho once she arrived at 7:05ish for her 7:30 reservation was not seated until after 8pm. Then she wanted chicken tenders not her usual pasta often which she loves at Rick's since it's our go to place as a family. She was told only available on the kids menu and would be upcharged since she is over 10 (but manager told me 12 over the phone). The part that upset me is the server stated she had to be served as a to go order. For what reason I do not know. I suppose they think kids under 12 don't eat on plates. That pissed me off the most. I feel like her and her guest were mistreated because they are high schoolers and probably didn't speak up for them selves. My quiet shy daughter was upset once we arrived back to pick her up. Once I called the manager Adrienne (sorry if misspelled). She basically said yes that's it. I had to hang up in her before I went completely off on a stranger which I never want to do. I loved Rick's. The brunch. The ladies nights I have with friends. The dates with they hubby and family dinners shared there all come to an end because my daughter will learn early you will never be treated as second best and basically given a doggy bag to enjoy a meal while dining inside a restaurant. Even fast food offers a tray. That part was unacceptable on top of upcharging and not increasing the meal portion. If an adult wants a kids meal give the kid size. The meal is priced per portion not per age. Just my opinion. Guess we will head to Geist for dinners on the water now. More...

First of all, I really don't like fish, but the non-fish entrées are pretty expensive. Not really worth the price here.

Well after 10 months since my last bad experience i decided to have dinner here and unfortunately it was not a good experience either, never in a million years did I think coming to this restaurant, I would ever see cats loitering and this restaurant. Well Friday evening 2-3-2023, as I am walking up to the door not 1 but 2 cats were running around by the front door. This is just terrible, I felt like I was going to a McDonald's or a gas station in a terrible neighborhood, I normally would go to Ricks 2 or 3 times a month but now I'm just so disappointed because this place used to be classy and clean now it seems to be going down. I'm so disappointed in this place More...

Eh it's just kind of ok. The food is very average for the price. I think that's what holds this place back is the cost. At a lower price point it would be great but they charge high rates for basic No creative dishes. The place is always busy so I guess they can charge that rate cause people will pay. But the views are nice service is about the same you'd get at a jimmy johns. Both times I went there the dinning room smelled like spoiled food or garbage. More...

Sitting next to the water at Rick's is like being on vacation. The sun shimmers on the water. On a beautiful winter day, I forget about the cold. I had lunch yesterday. The dining room is welcoming and decorated for Valentine's Day. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. I had a lunch of seafood chowder and the wedge salad. The chowder is thick and packed with clams. It was very good. The Wedge Salad is enormous with generous amounts of thick bacon, chucks of blue cheese and grape tomatoes. It was the best wedge salad that I have had. The menu is well rounded with seafood, meat and vegetarian options. Prices are reasonable. They are renovating the decks so it will be nice during the summer to sit outside. There is plenty of parking. More...

I came here with my family over the weekend and I was really excited to try it out! We had five adults and two babies so I was surprised we were able to be seated so quickly and even more surprised to get a nice water view near the fire place! Our waitress was very nice and patient with the babies. I ordered the crab cake hush puppies and the Caesar salad, both were very good! I can't wait to come back when the weather is warmer and sit on the patio! More...

The date: December 29th, my sister's birthday.The location: Rick's Café Boatyard.We arrived and were greeted by the entire waitstaff. They applauded my sister. She had made it. Nineteen years. The entree's were great in size, while not sacrificing their deliciousness. The dessert was superb.My only complaint: the reservoir was underwhelming. As an Oregon native, when I heard there was a "great reservoir ," I was expecting something along the lines of the beautiful "Prineville Reservoir" in Prineville, Oregon. Unfortunately, the reservoir that Rick's Café Boatyard resides on leaves much to be desired. Other than the lake, a fantastic experience that I will share with my children, and my children's children. More...

One of Indy's few waterside dining spots, Rick's has been drawing folks from all over since the mid 90's. Their huge outdoor patio makes summertime dining feel like a party atmosphere. Indoors, the spacious sunlit dining room is a pretty backdrop for happy hour, special celebrations or just a nice dinner. We went most recently to enjoy brunch. Forgot to take a picture of our mimosa tower, but that was a pretty fun addition to brunch. More...

My husband and I always have a wonderful time when we go to ricks ! It's like vacation at a seafood place but in Indiana! It over looks the eagle creek reservoir and sitting outside in the summer is one of our favs ! We had an excellent waitress who was very attentive . The parking is easy and reservations are accepted. We had the Rios dip and my husband had an entree that had grilled lobster, shrimp and salmon! I had the crab stuffed orange roughy- I believe this is the second time I have gotten this. I also got the caramel apple pie sangria! We ended with the banana pudding dessert! Great place for a date and the views in the summer are wonderful. More...

Usually when I try something new, I say "this is my new favorite place", but this truly is one of my favorite places in Indy. We stopped by for brunch on a Sunday and it was a perfect day to eat on the patio. The view is amazing. The food was good too. They did fill up really quickly and there was a line as they opened, so I would suggest a reservation. It's really easy to make one directly from their website.I can't wait until the weather warms up again so I can go back for brunch again.They do also have an extensive dinner menu and a food truck outside as well called Rico's Snack Shack. They also have some holiday options as well like Easter, Mother's Day and Father's Day. More...

This is a gorgeous resturant located right on Eagle Creek reservoir. The views are stunning from pretty much everywhere in the place. They have outdoor seating if the weather is nice and I can only imagine how those views would be! The resturant is stunning inside as well. I visited on a weekday around 5 and had reservations however it was not super busy upon my arrival. I would definitely recommend making reservations tho as it became very busy by the time I left. They have a wide variety of things on the menu but I do believe they are most known for their seafood. They also have a nice selection of signature cocktails as well as a full beer and wine menu. I opted for the peach Bellini martini and was not disappointed at all. It was delicious! My friend got the cranberry martini and she really enjoyed hers also. We started out with the crab cake hush puppies and they were pretty tasty. For my entree I chose the salmon roulade and had the coconut rice as a side. The salmon was so flavorful and delicious! The creamy spinach filling was amazing and I think I could have eaten an entire plate just of that! The rice was very flavorful as well. Bianca was our waitress and she was very helpful with the menu. The service was phenomenal and I definitely would recommend coming and checking this place out! I know I'll certainly be returning at some point, hopefully when the weather is nicer and I can sit outside! More...

We came in because we were absolutely tired of Thanksgiving food and wanted to clear our pallets. The parking lot was packed so we were nervous that we'd have a wait. But.. the cars must have been for a private event upstairs because they were able to seat us right away. The drink menu was fairly new because our waiter was not able to recognize anything on it. We went on a whim and ordered two bourbon drinks. The peach bourbon smash and the evening honey. The peach bourbon was nice, flavorful, yet pretty strong still. However the evening honey tasted like just a shot of whiskey lol. It burned to sip. The vibes had us nervous to send it back so me and my gf switched drinks and I was stuck with it. Our appetizer came out fairly fast. And I couldn't believe these nachos were that bomb. That steak was seasoned so well and cooked perfectly. There was a good chip to protein ratio. And that queso and verde sauce was so authentic. Its like we stepped out to a taco truck in the middle of our dining. It was a hearty portion so we pretty much only ate 1/4. But now I know RICK KNOWS HOW TO COOK SOME STEAK. That's absolutely what I'm coming for next time. I ordered the salmon roulades. Even with the description I didn't know what to expect. When it turned out to be basically stuffed salmon pinwheels I was so pleased. When it comes to salmon I truly feel less is more and this was a very simple but enhanced dish. The contrast of the Mornay sauce definitely elevated it. Wish I could've had some with my mashed potatoes cause they were just a little dry. My girlfriend got the shrimp and scallop linguine. She enjoyed her dish but not nearly as much as I did. The snow peas in the description is was turned me away from ordering this over the roulades. She described it as one of the fancier marie callender frozen pastas. She was expecting a deeper flavor profile for the price but enjoyed the dish none the less. This location was 8 minutes away from our house this was only our first time coming together. We will be coming back. Me specifically for some steak. Hopefully we can come earlier in the day so that we can take in the beautiful view. Something you simple can't get at 8 pm on a winters night. More...
