"We chose Yumm because we were driving by and hit the "Available Reservations" button on Open Table. Definitely wish there had been a few reviews because there were a ton of choices for dinner and this wasn't a good one..."

"Have been here many times. This time the food was fair to good.
Almost like they had a new chef who had not been cooking very long.
I was disappointed. Plan to try again and see if it gets better. I love this
place and tell everyone I know about it. Very disappointed!

"This place is a gem!! We have been there several times, and always love it. It is a tiny place, but the kitchen turns out amazing dishes. The wine list is excellent too. Haven't been there for lunch lately, but it was very good also. Would recommend it with enthusiasm!!!"

"This place is quickly becoming one of my wife and I's favorites. Its European Bistro feeling is one of the best here in Indianapolis. We have always had our expectations met or exceeded with every item we have ordered here; we have yet to be disappointed, which is fantastic! The service has always been very good. Its only knock is that its small, intimate setting means it can be loud and crowded at peak dinner times. So don't go expecting a very quiet and romantic booth in a corner. But the food makes it worth it every trip!"

"I love Oh Yumm! Bistro. We went to brunch at Oh Yumm! on St. Patrick's Day and the food (as always) was amazing. I highly recommend the California Eggs Benedict and the Beef Tenderloin Biscuits and Gravy.
They have redecorated the restaurant, and the feeling the new look creates is a refreshingly new take on a space we have loved for years. Patti Crahan and the Bistro crew know how to make you smile for the rest of your day. I will surely be back very soon!"

"Despite what appears to be a great menu, I have yet to experience a really good meal here. I ordered a green salad with the shrimp option; instead, I received it with chicken. The server was inconstant. The space feels cramped. All in all, I want to like this restaurant but simply don't."

"This was my second time dining at Oh Yumm! The food was just as delicious as I remember it being the first time, however I will never return to this restaurant based solely on the way we were treated by the owner when we arrived. My mother, fiance, and I had a reservation for 7:45 on a Friday night. We arrived exactly on time and were promptly greeted by the hostess. The problem was the owner sitting at a table at the front of the restaurant. There were only a few tables left unoccupied and when the hostess began to show us to one of the tables the owner loudly corrected her. The owner stated that there was another party coming in shortly that would sitting at that table, even though that party did not have a reservation in the system"

"very intimate environment. Small number of tables allows the chief to change the menu often, with very special and savory renditions. Wife had a whitefish prepared as well as any we have had during our visits to the Keys. I had a Chicken Parmesan that was the best I've ever had."

"We went here for a dinner for 2. The food was good, but a bit expensive for what you got. The overall bill compared to what we ordered was probably the only negative about it. The service and ambiance was very good and the food was good-but not what I would have expected for the price."

"Second visit. Although our experience was better the first time, our visit on Valentine Day left a little to be desired. Service was very good and our server was prompt and courteous. Unlike our first visit when our order was timed, all items were served together. The flavors were good but 3 of the 5 items were barely warm when they arrived. Add to the fact they were all served together, by the time we finished, the food was cold. Due to the busyness of the evening, we decided to finish our meal without complaining. We may return but won’t try it on a special night again."

"The food was the usual high quality, but we ran into several service snags that individually would not have affected our night, but together they made the dining experience unpleasant.
They were out of the beer we requested and the wait for it was fairly long.
The red wine was served warm, not even room temp, but warm.
The waiter didn't describe the specials but I ordered one anyway. It was excellent!
Then he threw away the rest of the entree instead of getting me a box.

"Fabulous as usual. The restaurant is small, and since my husband is seeing impaired, it's hard for him to read the menu's, but I called ahead and they quickly accomodated our party of 5 by sitting us up front near the windows. The Fish Taco's and Bistro Burgers that were served were all delicious and the perfect amount of a lunch. Eric was our server and he was friendly, knowledgable and very efficient. They did not rush us through our lunch and were at a nice leisurely pace. We love this place whether it be a special occassion dinner or a "just to get together" lunch or brunch."
