Any place with the word "fresh" in it's name is a place I want to try. But, I also figure it might be a little too high priced. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the prices at 120 West were not higher. The atmosphere feels upscale and the food is delicious and healthy, so paying $15 once and a while for this experience is well worth it.
The lunch buffet (from 11-2 during the week) is unbeatable! The choices seem endless, with freshly carved meats, tons of homemade salads, soups, and even desserts and a chocolate fountain. And my favorite part of the buffet is the pasta bar--made to order with as many fresh veggies as you want and your choice of sauces and meats. Yum!
The flatbreads are also very good, and the staff is very classy and friendly.
I'm dying to go back for the breakfast buffet some Sunday morning. And when I do, I will wait until I'm nearly starving (the buffet doesn't end until 10:30 on Sundays, noon on Saturdays) so I can load up on fresh veggie omelets made to order, fresh fruit, smoked salmon and yummy pastries. -

I had a promotion code for http://www.restaurant.com I had been meaning to use for a while. My husband and I planned an afternoon/evening out in Indy, so I thought this would be a good time to put it to use. We scoured the Indianapolis restaurant selection on restaurant.com's website and ended up selecting 120 West Market Fresh Grill based on their menu options.
We found parking right across the street - the meter already had 40 minutes on it, so we added in another hour just to be safe. The dining room was fairly empty when we walked in around 5:30 or so on a Saturday. There were maybe three other groups of people or so. We found ourselves waiting for a minute or two before someone came to seat us. Finally our server came to bring us to our table and present us with menus.
The decor was very tasteful and upscale. There was more silverware at the table than I knew what to do with and there were three different drinking glasses.
We decided to go with the White Bean Dip as our appetizer. This was a cheesy dip with white truffle oil, served with slices of french baguette. It was very good. The server had also brought out fresh rolls, which I found to be rather salty. When we finished the french baguettte slices, we dipped in pieces of the roll and even spooned out the dip like a soup. It was enjoyable regardless of how we ate it.
I ordered the Two Cheese Grilled Cheese with a side of french fries for my entree. This sandwich consisted of brie and blue cheese on brioche toast. While I like to think of myself as a cheese lover, I do not think that this was the best flavor combination for a grilled cheese. Both cheeses were far too strong, and the sandwich was not very enjoyable. 'Sandwich' is actually putting it lightly since there were literally THREE full-sized sandwiches presented. I ate roughly half of one. The fries were good but nowhere near spectacular. It also came with a side of apple chutney - not quite sure if there is a difference between that and applesauce but that is what it tasted like.
My husband had a three-pack of the Black Bean Burger sliders. Basically, taking one bite of one of these caused most of the insides to slide out of the bun (is that why they're called sliders?). They were barely lukewarm and very crumbly.
We wrapped up dinner with caramel cheesecake. Very cute presentation but nothing to write home about.
I am not likely to return as I was not terribly impressed with anything on the menu except for the appetizer. -

The breakfast buffet seems to be one of the better hotel experiences I have had for a mainstream hotel. If you are a Hilton Honors Gold member (at least for the deal that was offered to me) you certainly cannot beat the $4 price either.

This hotel's lunch buffet rocks.
A little pricey, but the service was great, food was great.
Soup, salad, sushi, entree items, pizza, desserts, etc - plenty of options. If you can't find something you like here, you've got bigger problems than where to go for lunch.
I love trying all the different fancy desserts, I especially liked the cinnamon mousse with candied rose petal on top. Oh, and the tiramisu was fantastic too!
I should note, a regular menu was also available for lunch if you didn't want to do the buffet. -

I was in town for a personal trip and read a lot about this restaurant. I thought I would stop by for an early dinner.
First off, granted it was early on a Wed or Thurs night, but it was EMPTY! I did get very good attention from the waiter, which was nice... he was polite, gave good advice when asked, and checked in on me a few times.
However, for what I paid, food leaves something to be desired. I got their entree sized mesclun salad, which was a good portion... and paired it with a bowl of their crab & corn soup. When I saw this on their menu, I immediately imagined the dreamy, incredibly delicious blue crab corn chowder at Geoffrey's in Malibu, CA. I mean, Corn = corn chowder and description said lumps of crab right? Wrong.
This one was basically sweet corn in uber sweet cream soup, which shreds of crab... thin shreds. I would not call that lumpy at all. Corn was lumpy alright but not crab. It actually had this consistency and texture that was in a way revolting... I didn't want to waste food so I asked for a to-go cup, filled it up with left over soup and headed back to my hotel. Later on in the evening I got a little hungry again and thought I'd give the soup another shot... again, kind of not appetizing. How could this be? I mean, I like crab, corn, and yes, cream too... but somehow this particular combination and flavoring just was not working for me.
Next time I am in town, I might try here for the Buffet. And maybe simpler dishes like sandwiches or burgers but I don't think I will order that soup again. -

Ate dinner at this restaurant located in the downtown Hilton Indianapolis on a Saturday night. The service was super-quick, which was to be expected because I was the only person in the place (other than the employees).
They have a small menu with about 9 or so entrees to choose from. Seafood, steaks, ribs, chicken.
The food was served hot and the portions were adequate. My ribs, however, were a little overdone and kind of dry. The rest of the meal was great, however. -

Tried the lunch buffet here. A good variety of food to choose, including fruit, salad, pizza, sub, soup meat and pasta.
The price is also pretty reasonable with regard to the location and food provided.
The chocolate fountain is a little surprise to me, though I do not really the idea of dipping fruit in chocolate. -

My guy and I went here for a dinner date, and it was just kind of odd. At 8:00 on a Saturday night, there were just 3 or 4 other diners there, which I found surprising. Maybe because the decor is outdated and the lights are too harsh? Our waiter was really nice, but pretty awkward. We both ordered the salmon, which was fine but uninspired and not as good as we'd hoped. Luckily I had a Discover Indy coupon - otherwise I would go somewhere with more personality.

I love the breakfast buffet at WMFG. Drinks are included! It is such a great deal. The omelet station is great! Sarah the waitress is one of the best in the business! Ask to be seated in her section.

Wow! Hats off to the Hilton brunch staff today. My wife and I went for the brunch today and experienced great food and terrific service in an easy-like-Sunday-morning environment.
We stayed at the Hilton on our wedding night this Summer. Our package came with breakfast the next morning. After our stay we received a survey asking about our overall stay at the Hilton. At that time we had nothing but praise for everything and everyone but the brunch staff. And even the brunch staff then wasn't awful, but it took an excessively long time to be sat at a table and even then the staff was so overwhelmed that our service was not at Hilton standards. We mentioned this in our survey and received a 'free brunch for two' to make up for the error. We optioned it today and were not disappointed when we entered the building.
The food choice today was a lot better than our brunch this Summer. In addition to the typical breakfast foods (and lots of 'em), there was a good assortment of sushi, fresh shooters of veggie salsas and pickled and creamed herring. Great selection! Also with our meal was offered one mimosa or glass of champagne. We optioned the mimosas. It was a fun Sunday brunch.
Justin and Martin were both great and responsive and I even had a couple of questions about the food that the front of house manager was able to address. As we were leaving the gentleman at the omelet station thanked us for coming in. When someone besides the person who received a tip thanks you for coming in, it's nice. A quick warning about the omelet station: Be ready to eat. They're big!
There was a keyboardist and flautist playing standards during brunch which made for a nice atmosphere. It seemed somewhat out of place with the Colts game on, but this also isn't a sports bar and there are only a couple of smaller televisions, so it wasn't too odd.
This is a brunch buffet and I tried to cover as much of the unique items as I could. There was a fun assortment of cheeses including a port and a sage. Also, the desserts choices are awesome! There are many and they're unique, including a chocolate fountain, cheesecake and canolis.
The only downer today was the parking. We called ahead of time to learn how best to park. The Colts are playing downtown this wknd and we wanted to learn if we could somehow avoid paying $20+ for parking. We were told that if we pulled into the garage that the Hilton would validate our parking. This was accurate, but we originally pulled into the wrong garage. Before we made the error again, we pulled into the hotel valet area just to ask the valet where to go. He was on a mobile phone, noticed us, and decided acknowledging us was not in the plans that day. I had to get out of the vehicle and walk all the way to the front desk and ask about the garage. On my way back out, the valet was still standing at the curb, on his phone, *not* acknowledging me. It could be that he was on a break, and everyone needs and deserves a break and a time to get on the phone, call home, whatever, but take your break *away* from everyone, man. I assure you, though, this kid did not ruin a great brunch at the Hilton. Keep up the good work! -

We got the breakfast buffet for free for the weekend mornings when staying at the Hilton. The breakfast was phenomenal. Even had a guy making omelettes with any ingredients you wanted. Highly recommended.
