Great restaurant close to downtown. The service is great and the servers are knowledgeable about the menu and wine. They always have a vegan and gluten free entree.
When you first sit down you get a small glass of champagne which is a nice touch.
On our last visit we got the smoked carrots and they were shockingly good. The carrot soup was excellent and then for entrees I got long trumpet mushrooms and my wife got the Sacchetoni en Brodo. She said hers was good.
The peanut parfait is amazing and a must get to finish the meal.
It is on the pricier side but it is with it in my opinion.

Really cute high-end restaurant in downtown Indianapolis. The food has a modern touch. Personally, the fried korean mushrooms are a must. They are meaty and really flavorful, and the radish is delicious. Oysters are good, but in my opinion too pricey (half a dozen for $25 if I remember correctly). For the main dishes: the stuffed quail was really tasty, but I would have appreciated if the quail was totally deboned, or if a slightly bigger quail was used. The sacchetoni in brodo was really flavorful and melted in your mouth. The broth was deep and intense.
The scallops were perfectly cooked and tender, as well as the pork belly.
The server, Nick, did an outstanding job. He was really accommodating for a peanut allergy at our table. He was funny and really personable and his recommendations were on point.
Bonus points if the bread was free. Overall 10/10 and we will come back if we are in the area. Great work to everyone who works there!

We had an amazing time at the Moroccan dinner event! I never been to Tinker Street before and absolutely loved the vibe! The staff was super friendly and helpful! And who doesn’t love starting a meal with a sip of champagne! Can’t wait to go back and have something off their regular menu!

We decided to try the chef's table with a group of friends in September. I worked with Lisa to find a date and time, informed her of any dietary restrictions / no-go's on specific types of food we had within the group, and established our group consensus on the level of spice. Communication leading up to the evening was great. The menu is a surprise, they do not tell you what you are having prior. You show up and the show begins! We had a squash and eggplant bruschetta paired with a pinot grigio, cold vermicelli (which was wonderful) paired with a vermentino, lamb loin with a carrot puree and a cotes-do-rhone (this was my favorite dish) and finally a miso banana bread with a cognac for dessert. The food was great but I have to say the experience the staff at Tinker Street provides is what makes this special and without a doubt worth the splurge. The chef and the sommelier both explained each dish / wine pairing as they were served. There was no moment once a dish or utensil was finished with that it remained on the table. The staff would just whisk in stealthily and remove it / replace it without interrupting any conversation. Waters were always full. Cocktails were always offered to be replenished once they started getting low. The entire experience was just lovely - I could not recommend this more. Prices vary a bit but ours was $80 / person for the menu plus $50 / person for the wine pairing. Very fair overall for the quality of the food and the experience. Even if you don't do the chef's table, this little place is a gem in Indianapolis and is wonderful for a charcuterie board and drinks!
