Amazing service from start to finish! Sophie was an absolute sweetheart — attentive, warm, and made the whole experience feel extra special. The wagyu was unforgettable… it literally melts in your mouth — chef’s kiss . Burgundy mushrooms… everything was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor.✨️
We started with the calamari as an appetizer, and it was the perfect pairing — light, crispy, and seasoned just right. And the Lavender 75? Absolute perfection. Beautifully balanced, refreshing, and the ideal complement to the meal.
The atmosphere was cozy and romantic, making it perfect for a date night or special occasion. Everything about this experience was top-tier. 10/10 — highly recommend!

I have been visiting McGraw’s for years. I used to go there when in was called Stiney’s. I am surprised that I don’t already have a review on here for McGraw’s. I can’t imagine that it wouldn’t have been a five star as I am giving it now. I had the ribeye steak during this visit and it was delicious. The pictures include the chocolate cheesecake that we had for dessert. I also included a picture of the Purdue Rowing Team practicing on the Wabash river.

Food was really good. We found out that if you don’t have a reservation, you will be seated at the bar or by the front entrance. Server was good.

My husband and I like the proximity to our home, so we’ve been several times, each time hoping it’ll be better than the last. We are ALWAYS disappointed. The prices have increased while the portions and quality have decreased. They apparently have a newer chef, but the food still is not on point. The shoestring onions continue to be pleasant. That’s it. We ordered some asparagus soup because the employee told us it was really good. There literally was not a single piece of asparagus. There were two quarter-inch sized pieces of what appeared to be bacon. The base was green water. It was so unappetizing. And for some reason they sent us (we order carry out) home with a tiny amount of asparagus water and a cup of burnt French onion soup, which we didn’t ask for. Honestly, we’ve only got a correct order one time. The other times were missing something in the order, or over cooked meat. It’s just disappointing when we really want to like the place. We’re done eating there. We don’t recommend it to anyone.

Excellent in every respect. Steaks were tender and prepared perfectly. Appetizers included raw Chesapeake Bay oysters on the half shell that were so good we ordered seconds. All served with a view of the banks of the Wabash River. Best restaurant in Indiana.

Don’t let the outside looks fool you.
I wasn’t sure what to expect as we dove up to the restaurant.
When you walk in you are greeted by this rustic hardwood decor. It was just beautiful.
We asked to have a view of the river. Unfortunately, due to how early in the year it is that view wasn’t as beautiful as we thought it will be later in the year.
Before I go further. We did call the morning of to try to reserve a river view. We left a voice message with our request. We received a return call by 4 PM and were given an option of 5 or 8 PM. We chose 8.
We arrived 15 minutes early and our hostess seated us immediately. The restaurant was nearly full. Diners’ attire ranged from street clothes to suits and ties. So dress how you feel comfortable.
We ordered the Firecracker shrimp. It was simply perfect. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. The shrimp was lightly breaded. This allowed the shrimp to be the star. The taste was just lovely.
Our soup was French onion with gruyere cheese. It was very good. Excellent flavor!
We both had the Filet mignon. Cooked to perfection and so tender it melted in your mouth as you chewed. The rice pilaf was good. Not dry nor overcooked. I added a catfish filet to my meal. The catfish was breaded slightly crisp but not soggy. It flaked as you cut it.
Overall it was an exceptional dining experience! The food, the presentation, and the atmosphere all worked in concert to allow us to have a memorable evening. We’ll definitely return the next time we are in town!
Final note. Call ahead to reserve a seat. It’s not required but it does help.

Went for an early valentines dinner. Delicious food, and our server Riley was fantastic. Despite being quite busy, the service was outstanding. Not pictured is the firecracker shrimp appetizer, which was amazing. The sauce was a perfect combination of spicy and sweet, and was of good portion size. We both got the prime rib, which was tender and cooked perfectly. The jus was the perfect accompaniment to the meat. Large selection of wines, cocktails, and specialty beers. Will be back!

Graduation dinner for the new grad! Loves beef so we had to go here. Waited outside at the scenic look of the Wabash for like 30min before reservation, very punctual, and had an excellent Malbec from the wine list. The service forgot items from orders because of the busy graduation crowd but the hospitality was great from multiple bussers. The ribeye was very juicy and the tiramisu very tasty too. Would definitely drive back for a dinner.

I made a reservation and was never told we only had 2 hours to eat. It felt rushed. This was an end of the year dinner for work and we were rushed and were told the other party was about to arrive so we needed to get dessert quick. The food was great. Place is small so it gets really crowded in there. Really disappointed in the treatment as my boss spent good money that night.
