    The food is always good. I mean it’s fondue. But this particular day we were there from 6:15-10pm. We didn’t get our entree course until 9:30. The table next to us got their food well before us and they were seated after us. It was busy due to the holidays so I understand the wait staff was likely overloaded. The manager also gave us a discount for our wait. I appreciate all they did to rectify the situation. I would go again for sure. You just need to make sure you have ample time if it is a busy day.

    We eat here several times each semester and today was probably the best main course I have had at Courses. The sauce on the Coq au Vin was fabulous with a rich flavor of various spices on the palette. The onions and ham added a nice change of texture. The smoked salmon appetizer was delicious but needed a second crostini for the amount of Brie and salmon on the plate. Wonderful flavor, though. The dessert was an interesting combo of flavors but the beets added a nice compliment to the crème brûlée. All in all, a delightful meal.

    Whenever I come home from Florida, I try to include Petite Chou in my visits. It is my favorite restaurant in Indy. Antionette was an outstanding server tonight and I shall ask for her in the future. She was attentive, cheerful and efficient. The food was superb as always.
