I ate here last night and have come to the conclusion that Indigo Yard has both strengths and weaknesses.
In terms of atmosphere and surroundings Indigo gets ten stars- I love the whole rustic, cosy feel - it is really quite romantic; a good choice for a first date perhaps?!
Indigo is part of the Montpeliers chain so food doesn't differ from the likes of Candy, Montpeliers, Ricks... you get the idea. If you have dined in any of these restaurants before you will probably agree with me in saying that you know what to expect when it comes to food - good and hits the spot, but nothing special.
With the Montpeliers chain you tend to pay for the surroundings, service and atmosphere. Indigo certainly doesn't lack in any of these.
I also like how the bar is slighty off the beaten track - this means that it is usually a hot spot with the locals and fails to attract annoying tourists (no offence!).
Indigo is very popular with the office crowd, especially on a Friday evening when the place is packed full of suits and everyone is keen for a bit of 2 4 1 cocktail action.
Overall, it is a very atmospheric bar/restaurant which is definitely worth going to for a few drinks as long as you don't mind the office crowd!

Indigo Yard isn't really anything special. It isn't great but it isn't bad either. I love the kooky building though and the way it is laid out.
Went there for a lunch today, I had a crayfish and avocado salad with lemon crème fraiche dressing which was huge! It was nice but not very lemony. My two fellow diners both had club sandwiches, also off the lunch menu. They both cleared their plates. Club sandwich is the way forward for a lunchtime meal.
The staff were ok, but I had booked ahead and when we arrived there was someone in our table so we had to have a drink at the bar while we waited for our table. The staff were also a bit slow in terms of taking our order and bringing the bill even though there weren't many other tables in there. They were pleasant enough though just not particularly attentive!
The bill came to about £36, which included a large glass of house wine and 4 beers so not too dear.
Pub grub - nothing to get too excited about!

I have eaten here several times and never had a bad meal. The atmosphere of this place is good as it is always busy but can be a bit cramped if you don't get a booth. The menu can be a bit limited in terms of what other places are offering but you can usually find something to suit everyone. Staff tend to be not the most attentive and you will be waiting a bit to get served/drinks/food etc but as long as you aren't in a rush it's fine.
I have had salads, club sandwiches etc for lunch and they have always been very good.

Decent pub food but only 1.5 stars for having 'yard' in parentheses. Completely pointless.

I can't say it better than rachybaby (review above) but all I will add is that it's worth getting on the Montpelier chain's email list - because you'll get occasional 50% off your meal deals and other offers valid at places in their stable of restaurants.
