Top 7 Gluten-Free Bars to Experience in Wholesale District, Indianapolis

Amazing atmosphere with unique and stunning surrounds! Old shoe factory reclaimed for a great restaurant. Aside from the architectural feast, the food and service are outstanding!! Ordered the Jumbo Lobster and Crab Ravioli and ordered the zero-proof Tropical Dreamsicle. Delicious!! They were accommodating to both gluten allergies (I don't have) but also offer smaller portion menus for any anyone like seniors, kids, or bariatric patients with NO HASSLE!

Good food, great beverages. I was pleasantly surprised by the gluten sensitivity section of the menu

The coolest building. The atmosphere is something out a movie, very rich wood colors and comfortable lighting. We ate in one of the back rooms, our server was to the point and whitty—a true master of their craft. We haven’t sat down for a real steak ever, mostly because of price. But St. Elmo justified every penny I spent, the cut was spectacular and I’d like to shout out their attentiveness to my fiancé’s gluten allergy. They were thorough and made sure she had a lovely dinner also. Excited for many more visits !

I was happy to see that there was a completely separate menu for gluten allergies. However, despite an extensive conversation with the waitress about my allergy, and the menu, and having the separate menu in front of me, I was still served gluten. My bad for trusting how obvious it was that I have an allergy. Please don’t fire the waitress, she felt terrible. I’m gladly not going to die from it, but it’s sure going to suck. If you have an allergy, I guess repeat it over and over and over. Being annoying is the only way to eat out safely.

I honestly don’t understand how this place has a 4.5-star rating. The pizza was incredibly underwhelming—definitely not the “fire” experience some reviews suggest. It’s overpriced for the quality, and the service left much to be desired. We ordered a sausage and pepperoni calzone, and it was disappointing. The dough was under-cooked, making it doughy and unpleasant to eat. After just a few bites, we had to stop—it was that bad. We also tried the 8" deep dish pepperoni and cheese pizza. Unfortunately, it was loaded with an excessive amount of cheese that wasn’t even fully melted. The texture was off, and the whole thing just felt heavy and sloppy. I opted to try the gluten-free cauliflower crust pizza, hoping for a better experience, but again, I was let down. The cheese wasn’t fully melted, and the crust was burnt on the bottom—clearly not checked before being served. The restaurant itself needs serious attention. It wasn’t busy when we visited, so there’s really no excuse for how dirty it was. The floors and tables were sticky, and it looked like no one had cleaned in a while. Staff seemed more focused on their phones than on the guests, and it showed in the lack of attentiveness. As for the bathrooms—absolutely disgusting. They looked like they hadn’t been properly cleaned or maintained in ages. Honestly, I’ve seen cleaner restrooms at truck stops. They need to be gutted and redone entirely. Save yourself the trip and try somewhere else. If you want to taste real pizza, head to St. Louis. Even a basic chain like Pizza Hut would’ve been a better choice than this place.
