Welcome to Peterson’s!
When we opened in 1999, my goal was to create an independent fine-dining restaurant dedicated to
a superior guest experience by providing ‘only the very best’ quality and service. Since then, we have
been recognized in every Indianapolis Monthly “Best Restaurant” issue, earned numerous “Best of
Award of Excellence” honors from Wine Spectator and multiple “Diner’s Choice” awards from Open
Table.
Today Peterson’s is well renowned for its prime steaks, fresh seafood, house-made desserts, award-
winning wines, outstanding service and distinguished atmosphere. Please don’t hesitate to ask our
staff for anything you may need. We hope your dining experience is memorable and exceeds all
expectations.

Terra d’Oro – Land of Gold
The Sierra Foothills were first made famous in
the 1800’s during the California Gold Rush.
Where people once flocked to the region
seeking fortunes, today they come for the
wine.
Terra d’Oro wines are handcrafted from some
of Amador County’s most historic vineyards;
their Deaver Vineyard was first planted in
