About Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse: (as told by the crew!) 

Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse opened October, 2016 as its first Indianapolis location.

Located downtown Indianapolis at 51 N. Illinois on the corner of Market Street and Illinois Street, Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse provides a personal touch that excels on every level.

Our passion and steakhouse is known for exceptional food and service. Whether watching a local sporting event, part of a romantic evening, corporate meeting, or a cocktail party, we hope each visit is a memorable experience.

The Menu

Hyde Park’s chef-driven menu will feature variations of its legendary aged prime steaks and continue its tradition of naming signature dishes after area local sports celebrities, like the Andrew Luck and Reggie Wayne steaks. Hyde Park also offers prime dry-aged and Wagyu “Kobe-style” steaks as well as a boutique section including grass fed beef and bison.

Beyond its award-winning steaks, Hyde Park offers a daily blackboard menu of fresh fish and seafood representing all coasts. Rare cuts are featured, including a unique bone-in tuna chop.

Our bar features more than 50 reserve and rare spirits, a barrel aged “Indy Manhattan,” a smoked old fashioned presented tableside, and an exclusive Bordeaux blend from R&B Cellars, unique to Hyde Park. The Happy Hour Bar Menu will include small plates, sushi, tenderloin sliders, and flatbreads. The bar also offers a more casual menu of cheese boards, burgers, and a wagyu carpaccio.The Scene

The restaurant’s rich, stylish décor features lots of comfortable leather seating, colorful fabrics, wood-paneled walls, two fireplaces, lit portrait art and museum-framed oil paintings suspended from the ceiling in a beautiful mezzanine level overlooking the main dining room below.
