We had a great time! Both the food and the service were great! The Murder Mystery actors were very entertaining. My only recommendation would be to bring a jacket. My husband and I were sitting mid-car, and the air conditioning was blowing right over us, and it got pretty cold. The tables seat four, so we sat with another couple whom we didn't know, but they were kind people, and we all had a nice conversation. My husband and I actually solved the murder mystery, and we won some cute stuff from the gift shop.Overall, it was a wonderful date night!

It was fabulous! The only thing I think that would be a good idea, would be for them to announce over the trains intercom when we are arriving at a particular site of interest, that would be very helpful and informative to the passengers.

Nothing But The Truth
I’m giving this a five star review because the food was delicious, atmosphere was great, and service was amazing, the girls were extremely professional and made us feel as though we were on a million dollar excursion! Great job y’all! Only negative I have is seating was extremely tight and the people behind me and my friends had their chairs out too their knees where my friends and I were pushed into our bellies to the tables. ****PRO TIP PULL YOUR CHAIR OUT FIRST, or ask the person behind you to scoot in, this made the trip a bit miserable for me.****

First time on the dinner train for my wife and me. We chose the bourbon experience. If I could give 6 stars all around I would. What a great night! The food was sooo good and the portions were large. The train itself is really unique and Rob curated the evening which provided us with a behind the scenes look at the history of bourbon and many of the local distilleries. Special thanks to Shanna our server who took excellent care of us. You need to plan ahead because this is not an easy ticket to get as the reservations fill up quickly. We will definitley be back!!
This was our second time on going. The food is wonderful. They cook your meals on the train. The service is excellent.We did the bourbon tasting. I enjoyed the history about the distilleries. Train takes you past some of them.Plus we got to enjoy time with our wonderful friends!

Fantastic experience! We had a great evening riding the Kentucky dinner train. Such a fun time and we met new friends. The food was delicious. Highly reccommend.Parking: There is a nice, large parking lot at the train depot. Parking was so convenient. It's easy to check in and board the train, then right back to your car.
This brand new restaurant is something Indianapolis desperately needed. It will be expensive - about $90 a person but it is well worth it! Great cocktails, the crab cakes are amazing and the service is excellent!
Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit for my wife's Birthday. The Maitre D was excellent and acknowledged her Birthday. The staff made sure to coordinate with the SpeakEasy to ensure we still had our reservation even though our meal went over schedule. Everything just clicked and the staff worked as a team the entire evening. They ALL were on the same page. We appreciated the service the most! Thank you!
A NEW BEGINNING FARM
We have waited for this for over 3 months! We were so excited for this excursion. The food, the staff, the crew, all exceptional!!! We wanted for nothing, EXCEPT to be able to hear our Master Bourbon guide speak! The selfish group behind us of fowl-mouthed intoxicated riders were enough to ruin a beautiful evening. They were so rude during the educational part of the tastings. Their loud fowl mouths were obnoxious and uncalled for. We literally couldn't hear the couple across the table from us.Sad that such a memorable time can so easily be soured by other riders.

A group of eleven friends attended a birthday outing for my brother. I would highly recommend going when there will be plenty of daylight to see everything outside. Be prepared for a long wait for alcoholic beverages. Personally, I was disappointed with the freshness and quality of the food considering this is branded as a dinner train - I’m sure the logistics of feeding a hundred people on a 2.5 hour train excursion is difficult.

Noise level was too loud, it took way too long to get our drinks, appetizers, and food. Pork chop was overcooked, broccolini was “sick looking”. Not impressed at all. Felt items were overpriced for the quality.
