Good Omen

Very Dissapointed. Had Valentine's Day reservations that we had been looking forward to for weeks, only for them to be cancelled at noon day of. No reason given other than 'unforeseen circumstances' which is unacceptable.

I gave good omen 5 stars because 6 isn't an option. The team was wonderful. James was a great server and his suggestions for the evening were spot on. We love all of our local restaurants here in Zionsville and our community has a wealth of excellent places to eat. Good Omen fills a space we haven't had until it's opening. The food preparation is truly an art form and the approach to the menu is on par with the quality of some of the best restaurants I've been to. We had the wagyu tomahawk and gnocchi off the winter menu. You should do the same if you stop in this winter.

We had a wonderful dinner at Good Omen recently. The food was very tasty! All of the sauces tasted so fresh and bright. We got buttered pasta for my toddler and it was the best buttered pasta I've ever had I also was surprised by how much I liked the beans. The sage in the sauce was so great. We had made a reservation ahead of time and I mentioned we were bringing a toddler and they were very prepared for her with a booster seat, plastic plate, and plastic cup all set up before we got there. One of the women who worked there (the owner??) came over during the meal and was so kind about having her there. It made us feel so welcome, because dining out with a toddler can be intimidating sometimes!

Good Omen is a great place to celebrate special occasions with your favorite people. We did just that -- celebrated our daughter's 29th birthday -- and it was wonderful!I wish I had more pictures to share, but I was more focused on the celebration itself. Everything I tried was truly delicious. The birthday girl had the vegan Puttanesca and she loved it. Another daughter enjoyed the Risotto with Grilled Lion's Mane (also vegan). Hubby and I shared the Creste Di Gallo pasta dish and I would highly recommend it. We also shared a starter salad, and while I don't recall the name, it was delightful.We also shared a bottle of Chianti for the table which was lovely.We will definitely return!

If you are expecting Olive Garden, this is not your place. If you want high quality dishes, good wines, and an intimate setting, this is definitely the place to go. The Good Omen is superior to all of the other Italian joints nearby. Be aware that dishes are large and absolutely shareable if you have a small appetite.

Okay, wow! This is some amazing, incredible, and tasty Italian food! My expectations were low, but holy cow. I am so impressed! The appetizers were unreal, the entrees were out of this world, and the wine was spectacular. The service was top notch, the recommended the Chianti, which was perfect. I also cannot recommend the squid ink pasta enough. It literally changed me! It's way better than every other Italian joint within 100 miles!!! This is a must see spot!

Great family run business, great wine list great food another bar you can belly up against. Perfect dining for a A Date night. Don't be put off by the strip mall front, classy place on the inside.

Good Omen or a Bad Omen? Some signs in this review will help you decide. Knowing they don't take reservations (yet) but will in the new year, we arrived just before 5pm for dinner on Wednesday. There was one other table seated. First off, the interior looks a world away from the strip-mall-suburbia-parking-lot-grossness outside. Looked clean. All good so far. It was hard to decide what to order because everything sounded delicious and some items reminded me of things we've had before at Beholder. Because of that I decided to order the cultured butter with seaweed, honey and radishes for a starter. Ordered quail because it is a favorite of mine having grown up eating it. Then the duck main entree with farro, carrot and orange sauce. Our server suggested we order 7 items because this restaurant "does things a little different and items are meant to share". We thank goodness we stuck with our intuition to order a little then add later if needed.... Because... woof... the rest of this review will be hard to write. The cultured butter... not much flavor. I could compound a tastier butter. The honey was one small drizzles on the edge of the butter. I could tell my husband and I were secretly fighting for more butter because it had flavor. The radishes that accompanied were haphazardly chopped into big pieces that you had to cut or chomp into like a Neanderthal. Couldn't cut them up into something more manageable for $13? NOPE. The quail. No. No. Would never eat again. No. No flavor. The breading tasted only of whatever cooking oil it was fried in. The pickles were just ok. More in the bread and butter pickle flavor profile which I loathe but husband is ok with and he didn't even eat the last one so that says everything. And where the F was the honey that was supposed to be on this bird?? Where? Didn't taste it. The duck was the only item I would eat again if forced to come back here. The skin was nicely crisp. Meat tender. Good flavor. It was $52. Thank goodness we didn't order more. I was either full of fed up. Not sure which. And so glad we didn't order the apple and cheese tart thingy special that was $50ish dollars or the bison ribeye that was $72. Let's continue with bad omens... tissue box in the bathroom did not have a cover. Just a paper box thrown in there. I know this is little but if you have a bottle of wine for $1,200 on your wine list you have a bloody tissue box cover. At least one from Amazon. Also cut the blinking Christmas lights. They are distracting and blink very fast and I'm sure someone with neuro problems will have an episode in this place. The service. While the server was pleasant she clearly has never worked in fine dining. She asked if we wanted new plates for our duck after having two previous entrees (which one was a very flaky mess). Why yes... I don't want to have flavorless cultured butter or frying oil on my duck. A new plate, please. It was not a question we needed new plates. Get a sommelier, please. Again $1,200 bottle of wine on the menu. Won't return. A disappointment. My in-laws liked it so we had high hopes. We left and had dessert elsewhere which was the best dish of our 'dinner'.

I have returned here with family and friends on multiple occasions and had another wonderful dinner there this evening. We booked our reservation for 8. We were immediately greeted upon arrival. We ordered a variety of appetizers, dishes served family style, and drinks. The staff members were very friendly and made wonderful wine pairing selections. The head chef, Nick, greeted us and was very friendly. The atmosphere was decorated with soft lighting for the holiday, and very relaxed. We will definitely be back!

Some of the previous reviews, I just don't get it. I knew the space was small because I had been in it before with the previous businesses. Someone stated that the tables were on top of each other, not true. I didn't go to the bathroom to see if the tissue box had a cover on it, but everything else looked great. We are not drinking so we didn't get to enjoy any of the many wines they had, but we were able to get a couple of Non Alcoholic drinks that they offer. This was the first meal in a long time that we were happy with, from beginning to end. Started with the Kale salad. Unlike any Kale salad I've had before and it was delicious. The Brown butter vinaigrette was fabulous. Next I had the Butternut Squash ravioli which was cooked perfectly. Shrimp risotto was on special so my husband decided to try it. So yummy. Shrimp had a nice light char and risotto also cooked perfectly. For dessert we enjoyed the Gelato with house made toffee sauce and candied hazelnuts. Deeeeeeelicious! Great place Good Omen!! Thanks James for the knowledge and great service. Everything was fantastic, we'll definitely be back to try more.
