Fresh, Seasonal Dining in the Heart of Downtown Indy

Located inside The Alexander hotel in downtown Indianapolis, Market Table offers a relaxed yet refined dining experience with a focus on locally-sourced American cuisine. This casual-dress spot blends modern design with a bright, airy dining room, and its farm-to-table approach ensures every dish is as fresh as it is flavorful. Just a short walk from several of Indy’s major concert venues, it’s a convenient and satisfying option for music lovers looking to dine before the show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Market Table is loved for its proximity to downtown venues, making it a smart stop for a pre-concert meal. The atmosphere is low-key and comfortable, allowing you to enjoy conversation without shouting over loud music. Guests appreciate the efficient service—especially valuable when you're on a schedule—and the menu caters well to both light bites and hearty dinners. The open, spacious layout also makes it easy to relax and recharge before a high-energy night.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Solo travelers seeking a calm, friendly place to dine
• Couples enjoying a romantic weekend in Indy
• Fans wanting a lively pre-show space that’s not overwhelming
• Budget-conscious music fans who still want quality fare

What People Say

Reviewers consistently mention the freshness of the ingredients and the creative takes on classic American dishes. Many guests compliment the bright, modern setting and how it provides a relaxing break from the bustle of downtown. The attentive staff and the option for buffet-style or à la carte dining also get frequent praise. Diners love that it’s “not too loud,” “always clean and calm,” and a “perfect spot before a show.”

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the menu, while well-executed, isn’t overly extensive—so if you’re a picky eater or craving something ultra-specific, you might want to check it out in advance. Others mention that the vibe can feel more hotel-dining than high-energy hotspot, which may or may not be your scene depending on your mood.

The Bottom Line

Market Table is a smart, relaxed choice for concert-goers who want fresh food, fast service, and a peaceful atmosphere just minutes from the stage.
