At the Temple of Earthly Delights, Indianapolis Monthly
More than five years in the making, Buggs Temple finally delivers the goods.

Indianapolis Monthly Best Restaurants 2008
Tavern at the Temple (Buggs Temple)
337 W. 11th Street, 735-7960
With a chef whose resume includes a stint at NYC’s legendary Union Square Cafe, the restaurant in Buggs Temple — the historic, completely retrofitted venue on White River Canal — has added plenty to the downtown dining scene. In less than a year, mind you. Service can be a bit inconsistent still, but Chef Brad Gates’s menu of seasonal, regional fare (highlighted by house-smoked meats and fish) has a rustic elegance. Simple market greens get chic styling with cucumber ribbons and a ginger–shagbark syrup vinaigrette. Pan-seared Scottish salmon, a succulent roasted chicken with root vegetables, and beef tenderloin seared on just one side demonstrate Gates’s skill with varying textures and sauces. And pastry chef Cindy Hawkins’s apple tarte tatin, buttery raspberry bars, and decadent banana tart end the meal on a high note. Inside tip: Split a first course and save room for dessert. Bar exam: The wine list is a bit short, but cocktails such as a classic Manhattan are top-notch.

Quick BitesLike a Prayer
Are you there, God? It's us, The Dish. And we just want to say that we love what you've done so far with Buggs Temple (337 W. 11th St., 735-7960). In the few weeks it's been open, we've already had some memorable dinners, feasting on suckling pig, lamb chops, and smoked trout cakes in a historic 1918 church, dizzy on applewood smoke and coveting the intimate, high-backed booths along the back wall. The dark-paneled bar off to the side, overlooking the canal, is a fine spot for after-work drinks. And (former Oakleys Bistro) pastry chef Cindy Hawkins' dessert menu is truly a blessing. Please see that she has plenty of sweet, dense bananas to save her banana tart from mediocrity. And please let our dry cleaner figure out a way to get the smoke smell out of all our work shirts. Amen.

Thursday, November 01, 2007 - Tavern at the Temple: First Impressions
Posted by braingirl
The desserts were tasty managed by pastry chef Cindy Hawkins (who some regulars will remember from Oakleys Bistro years ago.) My favorite of the night? The hazelnut chocolate mousse torte cake. (Yum!) The people I was with had already tried the banana tart which may well be this restaurant's signature dessert. We also tried a tasty shortbread with raspberry filling and sabayon.
