I grabbed the drink menu off the table and there was a note that they didn’t have much bottled beer because of a broker cooler. We could sort of see it where we were sitting so we could stay updated on another heartbreaking Bears loss.
There is one TV on the back wall that was turned to the Bears game. There is a big horseshoe ball with pub chairs all the way around. The bar is kind of separated from the rest of the room with a waist high wall. The other dining room is about the same, a little bit smaller, but the brick walls are replaced with drywall painted in various shades of calming blue. The tables and chairs are all solid wood and local art is hung on the walls. The space is pretty retro modern with hardwood floors, tin ceilings, and exposed brick walls. The restaurant isn’t very big and it was pretty busy by the time we left on this Sunday afternoon. We were put in a larger dining space where several other families and larger parties were seated. There are three distinct seating areas in Fiddlehead. We got there just after they opened at noon and came in to a small waiting area with a host stand where we stood…and stood…and stood waiting for someone to show us to a table.Ī waiter finally did come over and saw we had a big party (ten people) and pulled some tables together for us in the dining room. The restaurant is in the very front of the building with parking in angled spots on the one-way street in front. It’s now home to the local newspaper, a non-profit cluster, and this restaurant.
The building has been many things in the past including a furniture store and a medical lab. This building does butt right up to the building next to it, but instead of brick all the way up, there is metal siding that makes this property really stick out.
The building looks kind of odd in a downtown with connected, old brick buildings. I happened to find a place near the Outlets that looked really good…and it was open on Sunday.įiddlehead is on Franklin Street on the north end of downtown. They have those stupid liquor laws about kids and bars so I tend to stay away from breweries even if kids are welcome. We’ve been going to Michigan City for almost ten years and I still don’t really know of any great local restaurants. We hit up the outlet there to pick out some Christmas presents then a couple of other places before heading to lunch. My nieces have gotten my daughter in to UnderArmour clothes so my mom has been going crazy buying for all three. We met at the Lighthouse Place Premium Outlets before we headed to lunch. The kids all got to see each other and I got a burger and a beer. I thought it was just going to be my mom and dad but my brother and his family came along too. My birthday was earlier this week and to celebrate, my entire family met us in Michigan City for lunch.
