Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

My wife and I have been trying new restaurants in the NE Indiana area for several years now. After countless numbers of new places I can say Tolon was an experience that stands out from the rest. We ate during the Valentine's day weekend, so the single rose at check in was a delightful surprise (and will note that even more than a week later the rose has held up beautifully). The Indiana cheese fondue was delicious, my wife loved her chicken cordon bleu, and I was not going to try the ribeye (due to the price) but could not resist (as steak is my favorite meal) and I can say that may have been the best ribeye I have ever had (with the amount I have had all over the world, that is saying something). The seasoning / sauce brought out the full flavor of the meat. I used some of the butter that comes with it, but honestly, push that aside and enjoy the meat as it is. Incredible. We sat up front by the window, so did not get to see a lot of the interior, but we had a great table. Our server was fun and attentive to our needs. Food came out in a timely manner, with being a busy eat-out holiday weekend was a treat all in itself. Only "negative" would be parking, but that's a battle for all downtown. We were fortunate to find street parking two blocks north from the restaurant. Hard to fault the restaurant for this, but it was the only blemish for an absolutely divine night out. We enjoy trying new places, but we will absolutely be back again sometime soon. Thank you!

We truly enjoyed our meal at Tolon. The cheese fondue was rich and comforting, the mushroom risotto was beautifully done, and the chocolate cake was absolutely spot on, one of those desserts you keep thinking about after you leave. You can really feel the care Tolon puts into its food and its commitment to supporting local suppliers, which gives the restaurant such an authentic local vibe. Above all, what made the night exceptional was our server, Christian. He knew the menu inside and out, offered thoughtful, spot-on recommendations, and brought a warmth and confidence that perfectly matched Tolon’s atmosphere. He has the ideal vibe for the restaurant and genuinely elevated the entire experience, it felt like a match made in heaven. The only reason I’d rate it a 4.5 instead of a full 5 is that the dishes leaned saltier than my personal preference, including my husband’s ribeye. That said, the overall experience was wonderful, and we’d absolutely come back.

The pork belly went surprisingly well with the waffles. I had the scallops which I highly recommend trying before the off season them from the menu. My coworker had the ribeye and o can say it will be hard not to order next time. I would have liked a little more salt but I am a heavy salt guy. Can't wait to go back again. One of my new favorite places
