120 West Bar & Grill

Walked in to a very empty bar minutes before 10 pm Saturday night to grab a couple of drinks after the Bill Burr show at Butler University. Not a bartender behind the bar for roughly 10 min-12 min. One other patron was drinking at the bar and a couple of people were in the general bar area drinking. A party of six was sitting next to the bar so there was activity. It was as if the patrons served themselves without an establishment leader in sight. Walked across the hall. Walked in right as they were closing. Asked for some help with a couple of drinks and they hooked us up. Just keep walking past 120 West Bar and Grill. Go to McCormick & Schmick for service.

For staying in a nice Hilton hotel and having McCormick's right across, 120th west bar and grill failed to make the grade of passing. It's like the student who attends class for two months before submitting assignments. For having over 1000 teams in the city, a full hotel of patrons and guests. They were significantly understaffed, which is disappointing. One bar tender during peak times, a pretty rough menu for food. The only positive side it stays an hour later than McCormick's. The breakfast, so... It wasn't too bad. Good variety to pick from, coffee is pretty basic with creamer. It's a buffet style with a variety of food. Pastry's didn't taste amazing, Bacon was actually good, fruit was good, and they have yogurt.Honestly, way overpriced for the quality of food.

The food here is actually quite excellent. They source a lot of their ingredients locally and it shows. The problem is you never can shake that feeling that you are, indeed, in a hotel restaurant. It lacks even the slightest bit of character. Other than the framed photographs from old Indy 500s, you feel like you could be in any city in the US.It was completely dead when we went there for dinner at 9 PM on a Saturday night. I get the feeling that's how it is every night. It doesn't help that it is right across the hall from McCormick & Schmick's.I have heard that the lunch buffet is when the joint really gets hoppin'. I need to try that sometime.

I had a promotion code for www.restaurant.com I had been meaning to use for a while. My husband and I planned an afternoon/evening out in Indy, so I thought this would be a good time to put it to use. We scoured the Indianapolis restaurant selection on restaurant.com's website and ended up selecting 120 West Market Fresh Grill based on their menu options. We found parking right across the street - the meter already had 40 minutes on it, so we added in another hour just to be safe. The dining room was fairly empty when we walked in around 5:30 or so on a Saturday. There were maybe three other groups of people or so. We found ourselves waiting for a minute or two before someone came to seat us. Finally our server came to bring us to our table and present us with menus. The decor was very tasteful and upscale. There was more silverware at the table than I knew what to do with and there were three different drinking glasses. We decided to go with the White Bean Dip as our appetizer. This was a cheesy dip with white truffle oil, served with slices of french baguette. It was very good. The server had also brought out fresh rolls, which I found to be rather salty. When we finished the french baguettte slices, we dipped in pieces of the roll and even spooned out the dip like a soup. It was enjoyable regardless of how we ate it. I ordered the Two Cheese Grilled Cheese with a side of french fries for my entree. This sandwich consisted of brie and blue cheese on brioche toast. While I like to think of myself as a cheese lover, I do not think that this was the best flavor combination for a grilled cheese. Both cheeses were far too strong, and the sandwich was not very enjoyable. 'Sandwich' is actually putting it lightly since there were literally THREE full-sized sandwiches presented. I ate roughly half of one. The fries were good but nowhere near spectacular. It also came with a side of apple chutney - not quite sure if there is a difference between that and applesauce but that is what it tasted like. My husband had a three-pack of the Black Bean Burger sliders. Basically, taking one bite of one of these caused most of the insides to slide out of the bun (is that why they're called sliders?). They were barely lukewarm and very crumbly. We wrapped up dinner with caramel cheesecake. Very cute presentation but nothing to write home about. I am not likely to return as I was not terribly impressed with anything on the menu except for the appetizer.

Place has tons of room for everyone anytime. There are tv's there which is nice for kids and to relax. We sat next to the window and watched the snow fall. One thing.. the service is slow. The staff are sweet and wonderful but slow moving. Lack of communication between servers. Food is fast once ordered... but you have to make sure it's ordered. My son and I split the fish and chips. Oh... it was DELICIOUS! If we had room in our bellies we would have had a second helping. The french fries were fabulous and my husband and son's club sandwich was HUGE! If they can fix the waitstaff miscommunication, they would be awesome. We will go back for great food. Decent prices... could be cheaper but to have such yummy food and huge helpings, a for sure we will be back!

Enjoyed the organic yogurt option. The front desk informed us that continental breakfast was complimentary for Gold members. After having yogurt & one sausage link I was charged because "hot food" was an upgrade and not complimentary. Would have been nice if there were some explanation or signage before hand. $4 upgrade so no big deal but just kind of the fact of the matter. Also less than a great experience as staff members were yelling back and forth who was a Hilton Honors member and who wasn't at which tables. Simply walking to each other would've been more professional.

Back again! This place has the best fish & chips. They are consistently a big portion with just the right amount of crunchy batter. A huge amount of fries are served on the side and are easy to share. The tartar sauce is really good, too. It's fancier than your regular restaurant sauce- I think there's capers in it. Yum!

Last Saturday my boyfriend, my best friend, and I all went to this place because we had a restaurant.com coupon. That may have been the reason we chose the place but we were pretty satisfied.We arrived around 6:45 and there wasn't a soul in the place. Yup, just about the entire time we three were the only people around. One couple came and went while we were there and another threesome sat for a quick drink and left. This worried us a little bit but as soon as the crusty (in the best way) seedy bread came out with whipped butter, we were just fine. I wanted four more pieces of that hearty bread. It was great.Probably the star of the entire night, for me at least, were the gravy fries. They were only $4 on happy hour special but damn, amazing, delish were they! Thick cut fries with pot roast, gravy, and cheese? Yes, please. I swear I would go back just for these alone.The entrees were alright, not stellar, but decent. I had the mahi mahi sandwich and it was a bit unweildy. The sucker was a triple decker the height/size of my iPhone. I cut it in fours at the recommendation of the server and managed to plow my way through it. It was tasty but, as my boyfriend said, the flavors all kind of melded. And not in a great way really... You couldn't taste the great pineapple and chili aoili... They were lost.Desserts (german chocolate cake and creme brulee) were solid. The cake was a huge thick slice with great icing and the cappucino creme brulee was a bit looser than I was used to but packed great flavor.Summary: Go for the gravy/cheese fries (happy hour is from 4:30-7p most nights!) and stay for the dessert... Maybe just skip the entrees...P.S. Service is slow but not ungrateful. We stayed after our meal for another two hours chatting and our water glasses never went empty. Nice touch.

A lot of variety in the breakfast buffet, including made-to-order omelettes, pancakes, and waffles. I appreciated that there was no wait time.

My wife and I stopped for dinner tonight and we are so glad we did. She had the fish and chips. It was a generous portion of fish, with great flavor and the right amount of crisp. I opted for the burger with the bourbon barbecue sauce. This was one of the best burgers I've had in a while. Juicy, flavorful and cooked just the way I wanted it. The fries were seasoned well and were a great side. We will definitely be returning to try some of the other menu options as well.
