The beef was EXCELENT. An extra cup of the gravy would have made it PERFECT. The beef was tender and the combination of carrots, celery and onions made it just like Mom made.

My only complaint with Brunch today was, I had ordered the soup of the day, and learned that it was not available due to is still was frozen. This I could understand if our server had told us that when the order was placed, or shortly thereafter, But, we were informed when our server brought my mid wife's starter, which she started enjoying while I sat there and waited my substitute starter. My started was brought a while later. Then our main courses were brought. I had only finished portion of my starter. She finished her main course and the had to just sit there and watch me eat. There is no reason I should not have been informed that the soup of the day was not available when ordered of once the order had been placed in the system, I assume it was a breakdown of communication between the kitchen team and the serving team. But sitting and watching our spouses eat was not acceptable

This was our worst experience at Indigo in the last 6 Months. Food was not properly presented or served. Food was different from what was described on the Menu. The most desirable Menu Item was unavailable.
