AMAZING food and experience tonight at Livery downtown! I didn't get our server's name but she was super kind, attentive and even took the initiative to serve the salad my friend and I got on split plates. The empanadas never disappoint and they have a new spinach flavor that is delicious. We also got the cauliflower and churros for dessert. Other dessert options they had were peanut butter tres leches cake and a peppermint flan.

Arrived right when opened on a Saturday evening. First one's to be seated. Nice, quiet ambiance with dim lighting and large windows for natural light. The one thing I didn't like was that you could see into the kitchen right upon entering the restaurant. It was located behind the hostess stand. The menu is a modern latin vibe. They offer the most amazing chicharrons as an appetizer. Theirs's is made with pasta, instead of pork, so they are vegetarian. They also have them for purchase, to go at $5 for a bag. We started with the cauliflower appetizer. I was worried that it wouldn't be enough for two people, but it was. It was so delicious, and I don't even like cauliflower! Then, we both ordered the chicken empanada. They were seasoned just right, crispy on the outside, so good. I can't wait to go back.

We will be back for the food is the quick summary. Everyone was very happy with the taste of the dishes they had. We also had the guac app which was some of the freshest we've had. House made chips. Very good. The yuca fries tasted great as well but soggy fries may not be everyone's thing. The lamb never leaves the menu per our server and it was ultra tender. The serving pan, while innovative got I the way with the handle. The spice level on the pork belly was spot on if you like it on the hotter side. Not stupid hot but get your attention hot. Loved the bar but youn trek through the whole restaurant to get to it. Nice wines from Spain and South America. Decent prices. Serving size seemed generous but might have only been 5 oz. Parking is tough. They have valet for $10. If you want less cost park on mass ave and it's short walk around the corner. We went on a Thursday and needed reservations. The place had a mixed crowd and it was quite noisy. Hard to have a quiet moment if it was just two people. Will go back and can fully recommend.

The restaurant is very comfortable and the outdoor seating is fantastic, though we did not sit outside. Our waitress was fantastic. She helped us understand everything on the menu. She was patient and seemed excited to be sharing our dining experience. The Chicharrones, brought to the table as a no-charge snack, were delicious! I could have made a meal out of them! LOL We ordered the cauliflower appetizer. Our friend who'd been here before asked about the heat of the dish. Here again, our waitress excelled. We had the sauce in a cup to ensure the dish wasn't overly hot. What the dish was, was overly delicious! We ordered both shrimp and chicken tacos as well as corn empanadas. Everything was very tasty. The only negative, and this was on us, was we were in a hurry to get to a show. We didn't have the opportunity to really relax and enjoy. If I lived in Indianapolis, I'd definitely come back.

We were sat on the heated patio which was cold at first but definitely felt more heat towards the end. If you are a person who is cold easily I'd recommend asking to sit inside on a colder night. Also, on the patio it seems to carry voices pretty easily so if you are looking for a quieter place the patio is not it. To start my group ordered the guacamole, cheese empanadas and chicken empanadas. Next time I think we'd order guacamole or the empanadas, ordering both for 4 people was very filling. The cheese empanadas were very delicious and described well within the menu, the guacamole starter was definitely the star here though. I am also a guacamole enthusiast so loved the homemade nachos and feel of the starter. After filling up on the starters I decided to order the crispy machengo salad as to not have something to heavy. It was a perfect pairing for all the starters we had. I did order the non-alcoholic margarita as I wanted the taste of one but can't drink currently. TBH I was hoping for it to be a little more sweet than sour and this was definitely more sour and not as limey as I'd like. Still good but not what I was expecting. The others at my table ordered paella, and tacos. Everyone seemed pleased with their orders. For the paella they can put most of the spicy stuff on the side except for the chorizo rice which does have a little kick to it but not overpowering.

Came here for dinner last night and as always, great experience! Typically we'd make reservations on a Friday night, but somehow when we got there around 8pm we got a patio table after about 5 minutes! I usually order the Skirt Steak, but last night I tried out the street corn and Enchiladas. Great choices! Both dishes packed with flavor. The street corn is seasonal and goes away in 2 weeks so I was happy I was able to indulge before it left the menu. Would give both dishes a strong 8/10 Livery does not have Prosecco unfortunately, so I settled with the sparkling rosé. It was just ok! Our server Sean was nice and attentive -- all around a great night! The atmosphere is consistently upbeat and full of energy Livery has done it again!

Came here with a friend to try the Devour menu and we were definitely not disappointed. Drinks aside (which were also delicious!), the food was too good. When I first walked in I couldn't help but feel the cozy and warm ambiance of the place. I also learned they have a rooftop so will definitely have to come back to experience that! We were quickly seated to our seats and our waiter was extremely attentive as she explained the Devour menu to us. I opted to start with the steak empanadas as my appetizer. The empanadas were cooked to perfection and the sauce that came with it gave it a nice spicy kick! For my main course, I chose the paella with shrimp and serrano sauce. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, the paella had the right amount of crisp, and the sauce added that extra something to the whole dish! Finally, the best part - dessert. I ordered the churros and they were perfect. Warm and crispy and loved the caramel sauce that came with it. Overall, wonderful experience and I will be back to try more items off of the menu!

Girls Night! The Livery Margarita was strong but so good! Went for Devour and I can't wait to come back. We ordered the Queso and Steak Empanadas (2 different things) for our first course. I ordered the Skirt Steak for my second course while my friend ordered the Pickled Pepper Quesadilla. My steak was cooked perfectly and it came with broccolini and a manchego-polenta. Nothing was left on my plate. I'm not really a Churro person but that's what I ordered for my dessert. Wasn't bad but still not my thing. I also tried the Yuca Fries and they were really good too. I can't wait to come back and try the Green Chile Lamb. Service was amazing and the vibe was really cool.

Livery tends to be a favorite amongst many Indy locals, and for good reason! I came here for Devour Summerfest and I am sure glad I did! Three courses for $25? Easily one of the best Devour deals! I digress... Livery has an industrial farmhouse ambiance with a lot of metal and woodworking decor. The upstairs bar has really comfy chairs and super friendly bartenders. Devour fests tend to slow down service, but the speed of receiving our courses at our table of 5 was pretty reasonable once we seemingly made it up to the front of the queue for the kitchen. Our server was always very attentive to making sure that we had drinks and chicarones at our table in the meantime. I ordered... Chile lime mango-nada ($8): mocktail time! This drink is mango and lime juice with soda water, with a salt and Tajin lined rim. Wow, what a drink! Lightly sweet and very refreshing. Devour deal (appetizer, entree, dessert: $25) Queso empanadas: they make sure to fill these to all edges with cheese to make for a hearty appetizer. I think even the dough has cheese in it too, making sure to satisfy those cheese cravings. Chicken enchiladas: these were almost too pretty to eat, adorned with colorful sauces and roasted corn. They most definitely give you a satisfying amount of chicken in them, which is lightly spicy and tangy. Churros: I'm typically not a churro fan, but these hit the spot! Nicely crunchy and served with dulce de leche to take the experience over the top. My recommendation is to come to Livery on a nice weather day, where you can sit on the rooftop patio or the ground floor "patio" with the windows opened. Can't wait to come again!
