Reviews for Raw Bar By Slapfish in Indianapolis, IN
My mom and I came in for my birthday dinner tonight. This is one of my favorite restaurants as is, the lobster rolls have me in... an absolute chokehold. I haven't been since this spring, so this was looooong overdue. As usual, I got the lobster roll (thisthing will give me my biannual dose of serotonin) and some oysters to start. The lavender 75 was a great cocktail, and thecrème brûlée french toast bread pudding was a mouthful, both in the sense of the lengthy name and how aggressively I waseating it. Our server, William (is he an aries or a taurus ????) not only shares a name with my brother but provided excellentservice and matched our sense of humor. I have always had wonderful experiences at Raw Bar, and I'm so glad the streakcontinues. It's worth every mile we had to endure both on 65 and downtown, and each year that was taken off my life by the richbuttery goodness of the lobster roll. All hail the lobster???? king ???? at Raw Bar by Slapfish. Read more
This seafood is legit! The deviled eggs are to die for and highly recommended getting fried grouper with your fish n chips! The... Expresso Self drink was so good! Can't wait to go back! Read more
The most consistently fabulous meals I’ve had in Indy post-pandemic. The oysters are always fresh and ice cold. I’ve yet to... get one with shell in it, they’re always shucked cleanly. The service is great. The other menu items like lobster roll andpoke are always spot on. I love this place! Read more
This place is wonderful! Fresh! Great portion sizes and great prices. Love the ambiance and Sarah was great too! We will be... back. It’s my new FAVORITE place. Read more
The vibe here is really it. The music they play will definitely have you bopping your head. Our waitress, was really nice and... attentive. She made some really good suggestions on food and drinks as well! I’ll let you read the full review, but Iwouldn’t suggest this place to others. I’d give them a 1, but to to have high expectations from a seafood place not on thecoast is asking a lot. This is a good place for drinks, I will say that! Pic 1: Privateer Such a refreshing drink. You candefinitely taste the liquor, but it blends so well that’s it’s hard not to pick it out, ya know? Would highlyrecommend. Pic 2: Watermelon Agua Fresca You taste the tequila even more than the vodka in the last drink, but, again, not in abad way at all. The watermelon comes through though!! Would highly recommend. Pic 3: Lobster Tots Delicious little snack. Thesauces definitely make these better. The garlic on the plate and the awesome sauce. The outside was crispy, but the inside hasthe consistency of Thanksgiving dressing if that catches your attention. Definitely slacked on the lobster as well. Pic 4:Giant Shrimp Burrito This wasn’t it, I’m sorry. Not seasoned, no flavor, and fries in a burrito??? Pic 5: HawaiianBowl Just no. I’m sorry. The thing with the most flavor was the pineapple. Pic 6: Fries I would’ve been shocked if thiswasn’t tasty. Pic 7: Clam Chowder It was good. Good texture, nice taste. Pic 8: Light Fixture They had some dope lightfixtures. Read more
We arrived on Friday night after 7pm, and it was really busy. I was lucky enough to have a table booth available right by the... front door which had a window view to the outside. A DJ was setting for the evening. I thought oh no it's going to get loud inhere... but actually the DJ in the corner kept the noise in his corner. So you heard the music, but you could still have aconversation. We ordered 2 appetizer, and thanks to all the Yelp reviews we ordered the Crab dip with housemade chips. Oh mygoodness, it was amazing with melted cheese. It definitely was not lacking Crab. We also had a bowl of clam chowder. The baconon top really added to the chowder. I have had alot of chowder, but not with the bacon. Really good and alot of clams, andpotato. Dinner, I ordered the Lobster Power Bowl. Instead of salmon they were kind to substitute it with talipia. This was areally cool bowl on one side is your fish. Lobster, talipia, shrimp, rice, and fresh vegetables. The other side of the bowlis a cold salad lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, half hard boiled egg, sweet pickle relish, radishes, a tablespoon size ofguacamole, and a honey lime vignette dressing. This is so big that 2 can share this bowl. The shrimp and lobster is preparedwell, moist, juicy, and seasoned just a little bit for taste. My other half ordered the Epic Shrimp Burrito. For $13.00 this waswell worth the money. Lots of shrimp, and the burrito was huge, it also had rice inside. The only downfall is that it sayssalsa. That salsa was not your typical salsa it had a kick to it. It was almost like a spicy chulupa, sour cream, and lime. I would get this again, but with the sauce on the side. The sauce is inside and outside the burrito. This is definitely afork and knife dish. Lastly, I had a tequila shot with an oyster on top. The rim had a spicy salt. So good to eat the oyster,lick the salt, and that tequila was so smooth. I opted to have the regular tequila, and not the jalenpen Read more
My sister and I went here for brunch and we both really enjoyed it. As most already know by now, the aesthetic is super cute and... Instagramworthy, but that's not all it has to offer. The food is actually really great! Both of our dishes were full of flavorand probably enough for two to share. The champagne flight was yummy and the oysters were fresh. Our waitress was very friendlyand helpful as was the hostess that greeted me upon arrival. I definitely recommend if you enjoy seafood. I think this is agreat addition to the Indy food scene.

Great bartender and a nice diverse beer selection. I didn't have food but I appreciate the concept of their "beat the clock"... happy hour. Honestly some of the best bar service I've had in a long time. Read more
