FEATURED WINE BY THE GLASS
restaurateur Joe Peterson executive chef Ricky Hatfield
pastry chef Hattie McDaniel sous chef Byron Westmoreland sommelier Jan Bugher
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.

Ste. Michelle’s “String of Pearls” philosophy
describes a collection of estate wineries
whose vineyards produce some of the best
wines in the world. They believe that each
“pearl’s” luster is best attained when wine-
making practices and decisions are fully
explored and made by the people who
grow the grapes and make the wine.
