FortyFive Degrees

The 36 Essential Indianapolis Restaurants

"This sushi and cocktail bar on Mass Avenue sits at a 45-degree angle, with large glass windows overlooking the street and the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, making for excellent people-watching, both inside and out. There are a large variety of specialty rolls on the broad menu, including the popular Playboy Roll, made with spicy tuna, asparagus, jalapeño, and shrimp tempura, topped with salmon, shrimp, and three sauces — and then lit on fire. You can also get all the traditional rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. Stop by on Sunday for half-priced sushi." - Mike Gillis
