Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse★ ★

This high-windowed luxury dining spot at the corner of Illinois and Market streets seems more in step with the bustling downtown Indy of yore. Anyone who remembers riding the escalators of the rambling Block’s department store or gazing at the window displays of L.S. Ayres will feel a pinch of nostalgia dining in what was once a popular food-court location. Now, wine glass–polishing servers clad in trim vests patrol the two-level dining room, and a top-shelf steak menu mentions several dry-aged and Wagyu cuts to be paired with classic shrimp cocktails and dirty martinis. Dinner Mon.–Sat.
