Cobblestone - Zionsville

I went to eat here with around 9 people, and we all were left extremely disturbed and uncomfortable by the service, specifically the actions of the server, that we had there. To be specific, it was inappropriate usage of commentary towards us. Let’s start with the positives of this place. I really liked the atmosphere of the place, and I was excited to celebrate my friends birthday at this place. The menu options looked rlly nice, and the aesthetic of everything was very pleasant. They also at one point cut the cake we brought in for the birthday, which we are appreciative of. Despite these positives, it unfortunately was outweighed by the negatives. Our server was Micheal, and at surface level, he seems like a kind and helpful guy. However, he became a bit pushy at times when it came to recommendations. One of the girls at this table knew she wanted have a well done patty for her Angus burger, yet was pressured to change it to medium. Initially, Micheal said that it was to make the burger patty not dry, but the cooking recommendation made most of the burger entirely soggy, and made the girl realize she should’ve just stuck with her gut. However this is a minor thing. The major issue that really tanked the ranking was when another friend at the table received an asian chicken salad, and she told Micheal that it was a little too spicy for her palette. She was not asking him to change it or get a refund, just said “Sorry, I know the stereotype of brown women is that we eat spicy food, but I don’t fit that mold.” It was suppose to be a light, funny comment. Micheal proceeded to lean into her ear, “No, you’re exotic” in an inappropriate tone. Keep in mind a lot of us are 18, with some of us who just turned 18 recently, so it’s not like we are fully adults. This immediately made us super uncomfortable and on edge. He proceeded to say, “My ex was black, and that was the only good thing about her” and it just only worsened the tension. After that point, we all left either low/no added tips after the 20% gratuity. Micheal tended to peer over us as we tipped on his machine, and it made us feel really pressured. I felt I had to hide the screen from him because of this behavior. Another experience from another one of my friends, while she was enjoying her food, Micheal walked up to her and asked if she would be able to finish all her food. She replied, “Yes, I’ll be able to do it” to which he replied, “Good girl” … Very unsettling and upsetting to hear. Keep in mind she’s 17. Right after this, he proceeded to thank us for coming, made comments about our attire being very modest, mature, and good looking…. then proceeded to tell us to not date boys, but date mature men. He made eye contact with a lot of us while doing this. Not comments you wanna hear from an older server helping 17-18 year olds. Overall, just not a good server. Food was ok, and because of this behavior, it left a sour taste in our mouths.

Dined on the patio on a Saturday evening. Beautiful setting with live service and excellent service. The food was outstanding. We ordered the gumbo special and salmon on a specialty salad. Excellent selection of local beer and nice wine selection. Very pet friendly!

The food was fantastic. The service was great. We sat in the alley with the pup and it’s gorgeous and shady. Would definitely come again!

I have been to Cobblestone a few times but the waitress recommended the Creole Pasta dish and she was right! The dinner was delicious with plenty of chicken, shrimp and other ingredients in a fantastic sauce. Some heat but for flavor. I know what I will be getting the next time I go.

Great experience as usual. Even with recent menu changes, variations of our favorites were delicious. Our server Jennifer was exceptional. Made our experience even more special. We also loved the Live entertainment, can't wait to return.
