The service is consistently great, and the food never disappoints. I started with the fried green tomatoes, which are some of the best you'll find in the Indianapolis area--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly done. The biscuits and gravy are a must-order. The biscuits taste freshly made, and you can really tell the restaurant prioritizes high-quality, farm-to-table ingredients. It's easily my go-to recommendation every time I visit. The ambiance is another highlight--intimate, cute, and welcoming. Even when it's busy, it never feels too loud or overwhelming. It's perfect for a casual date, catching up with friends, or even enjoying a solo meal with your laptop. Grindstone is truly a versatile spot that always delivers.

This is a really great spot to eat. I cant wait to come back again. My wife and I went here with…read moresome friends. Great vibe and overall the food was very good and the service was amazing. The reason I gave it a 4 star review is because some of the food didn't meant our expectations. My friend's prime rib was very tough and chewy, (they made it right on the bill) and my Nashville hot sandwich was not spicy at all. But with that being said, I can't wait to come back!

We had a lovely first dinner experience at The Courthouse Club. We asked for the bar area and were…read moreseated in the comfy corner booth. Our server, Michael, was friendly and so helpful with menu suggestions. We started with a bottle of Unshackled Red Blend which paired well with the Date Night and Crab Cake Mini starters. We loved the Date Night app so much we ordered one to take home! For entrées, we shared the 10 oz Filet Mignon with Garlic Shrimp enhancement and the Fried Goat Cheese salad with blackened chicken added on the side. We enjoyed both and would order them again. We wanted to try a soup as well as a dessert, so ordered the Corn Chowder and the Raspberry Mousse to take home. Both were packaged nicely and we enjoyed the delicious flavors of each. We will 100% return. Parking can be a bit tricky right now with all the downtown Noblesville road construction, but we were lucky enough to find parking in a nearly lot. Don't let a few orange barrels deter you from trying this wonderful restaurant!

The hostess was completely dismissive as take the table we give you or leave. It was my sister's birthday so we didn't have much choices if we left for a Saturday night. We sat down to order drinks and the bartender missed the mark in the Mule drink. It was all the taste of jalapeño to the point a different drink has to be ordered. So far not a good start to the night. We ordered empanadas as an appetizer and 2 were served in a plate with a side of salsa. They were very bland with no flavor in the filling. The puff pastry and the salsa were the substitute for the flavor. Entrees were Crab stuffed Salmon with Asparagus, tomato/horseradish soup with 2 cheese crostini's, 2 small crunch salads. The portions were on mark,Not too big not too small. Salmon was blackened and cooked to perfection. Salads had fresh veggies and the dressing complimented the dish. The soup is amazing however it was served more in the warm side. The server was sub par. Not too friendly, she was all business and didn't t see her much. This was the 4 time I was there and was so disappointed this time. The food was good but the service was horrible.

When Plan A Falls Through, Sometimes You Find Something Better…read moreOur original restaurant choice was closed for the month. Time for a pivot. My father-in-law works downtown Noblesville and suggested we try Bar Ellis. Little did we know, we were about to stumble into one of the best dining experiences we'd had in a long time. Walking through the door, I was immediately struck by the interior. Historic brick walls met comfortable, chic modern design. The space was warmly lit and welcoming, and fortunately, so was the team at Bar Ellis. The hostess seated us quickly, and Grant, our server, arrived moments later with drink menus and a genuine smile. Then came the real challenge: helping my non-seafood-eating wife find a gluten-free option she'd actually enjoy. After a thoughtful conversation with Grant, she made her choice. I followed, excitedly ordering the salmon BLT. "Is this one any good?" I asked. Grant's face said it all. I was in for a treat. He wasn't exaggerating. My sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. The salmon was perfectly prepared. The bacon was crisp and full of flavor. The bread was toasted just right, crispy but not too thick. Every element worked in harmony: the crunch of the bread, the tenderness of the salmon, the crisp bacon, all elevated by a dill mayo that tied everything together. I know it's "just" an elevated BLT. But it's the best one I've ever had. I was genuinely sad when it was over. It was one of those rare meals that left me wishing I could be hungry all over again. As we finished, I sought out the manager, Chamron. She greeted me warmly and asked how everything was. After sharing my compliments about the food and service, I asked about the story behind Bar Ellis. She smiled and told me about two sisters and a brother-in-law, a chef with a passion for exceptional food and desserts, who dreamed of creating a restaurant that was both classy and hip. Then she shared something unexpected: Bar Ellis transforms on Friday and Saturday nights from 9 PM to midnight. Friday features karaoke, Saturday brings live music, and the whole place shifts to a 21-and-over scene. Even the lighting changes, creating a darker, moodier atmosphere. The scratch kitchen stays open throughout, so you won't miss out on that incredible food. I'm usually too old to be out that late, but I just might need to make an exception to experience this transformed space and enjoy that delicious salmon BLT again. If you're looking for a restaurant that's genuinely cool, serves exceptional food, and employs a team that actually cares about your experience, check out Bar Ellis in downtown Noblesville. You won't regret it.

If I lived nearby 9th Street it would be my local go to for fantastic food, super service (but not…read moreformal), and a great vibe. It's food and feel are clearly driven by the owners who want you to return. Ambiance: bisto feel that allows the business casual group of friends to mix with those that want to dress up a bit, but not fancy. The bar service for food is small but the attentive bartender and staff make you feel at home. The mixed drinks features specials and they were top notch. The wine list is well paired with affordable selections that are not just Cabs and Chards, lots of small family vineyard selections. The restaurant holds about 35 people. Service: not "unreasonable hospitality" service and that's great, attentive group of waiters and staff that know the menu, are concerned about your wants, and deliver with speed or an update, very solid!. Food: clean plate club food, everything hot and very well done. Special occassion dinner was Chili glazed carrots, Carpacio, Lobster Enchilda, Veal Schnitzel, and an Afagato and comped Mango Bread Pudding, two glasses of wine, and special mixed drink right at $200 plus tip. Cheap, no...worth it, 100%+. Honestly if I was a regular I'd pop in for split apps and drinks often and be perfectly satisfied, spend less, and feel welcomed. If you are not a regular, 9th Street should be on your "must go" list. Take friends or guests they will remember you and and the experience.

This spot has been on my list to go to for quite some time. I am so very happy that I finally made…read moreit there. We had reservations yesterday at 4:30pm, right when they opened. I was wondering if the seating here would be communal since they only have 9 tables and room for 35 guests but I was pleasantly surprised that we were seated at our own table in a bit of a nook created by bookcases. My girlfriend and I had plans that day to go to the Peony Festival in town but it was cancelled due to weather. There were still many beautiful peonies in the restaurant itself and in many businesses around town. We were immediately seated by the hostess and our waiter, James, came to the table to tell us about the restaurant and that they would take our entire order and then course it out for us. I love this. Being a small restaurant it was a little noisy in there but we just spoke up a bit to talk to each other. We started with a couple cocktails, mine was Mr. Rumtastic and my friend had the Coming Up Roses. Both cocktails were well made and good. I found mine a bit thick on the palate, maybe because of the coconut milk? Still the flavors were well balanced and delicious. We started our meal with the Housemade Burrata, the bottom of the plate had a pistachio butter spread across it and there was mortadella on the plate, a puffy fried dough called gnocco fritto, and a balsamic honey along side. We were instructed to put it on our plate and mix it up and see how we like it paired together. What an excellent way to start our meal. We would definitely order this again. Next up for us was the Lamb Kafta Kebabs along with the Housemade Focaccia Bread. The lamb kebabs were ground lamb skewered and grilled served over a fresh fava bean puree finished with olive oil, sumac, ramp powder, and black cumin with some thinly sliced watermelon radish. The lamb was super tender and a perfect medium cook. The focaccia bread was a good addition to this as we slathered the homemade bread with the super soft whipped herb butter. Loved the rosemary baked into the bread as it gave it a woody, herby note without overpowering it. I almost ordered the Spring Salad but I asked James if it would be going overboard and he said what we ordered he thought would be the perfect amount of food so I will save that for another day. We ordered a second cocktail, mine was the Persephone's Elixir and my friend ordered the Peonies in the Park. We both enjoyed these cocktails more than we enjoyed the first cocktails we ordered. The egg white on mine made a little frothy creamy top and I loved the slight sweetness from the vanilla syrup and the pomegranate juice. I tried my friend's cocktail and it was so refreshing, it was peony infused vodka with rhubarb liqueur with a strawberry-rhubarb shrub. Next up for us was our main dish. I ordered the Spring Ravioli and my friend ordered the Persian Chicken. My ravioli was the best pasta dish I have had in quite some time. I usually don't eat an entire entree, I usually bring half home, this one though I ate every little bit, I would have licked the plate if I were not in a nice restaurant! Housemade ravioli with a filling of sweet peas, ricotta and percorino cheese bathed in a potato veloute' with sugar snap peas, pink peppercorns, chive oil and microgreens. I would order this again tomorrow if I were to go back tomorrow. My friend loved her chicken and her baked rice as well. So even after all these food, and it was a lot, we had to go for dessert. I ordered a cup of coffee with cream along with Crunch-Dipped Peanut Butter Pie and my friend ordered the Double Scoop of Housemade Peanut-Butter and Chocolate Gelato. We enjoyed these as well. We will definitely make another trip here as the service, food, and cocktails were right on point. Thanks so much to 9th Street Bistro and I hope you have many years of success.

I sipped on a Ble Dirty Martini while we enjoyed the Escargot appetizer. For entrées, we shared the Beef Bourguignon and the Basilic Poulet. Without a doubt, it was the best Beef Bourguignon we've ever had! We ordered madeleines and chocolate mousse to take home with us -- both were delicious and really satisfied my husband's sweet tooth. :) We look forward to dining at Ble Bistro again soon!

I love whiskey, but I can almost never find a fruit-forward whiskey cocktail. This hit the spot. I had the steak and frites - it was incredibly flavorful and soft. The frites were slightly under-seasoned, in my opinion, but dipping them in the steak sauce made for the perfect combo. I ate every single bite. My partner had the Croque Monsieur with egg, and he also ate every bite. Again, and as you can tell, we really enjoyed our visit here, and we'll definitely be back.

Christian noticed my hesitation right away and kindly offered to replace them. He brought out the chicken empanadas instead, and they were much better. Not phenomenal, but enjoyable. My classic margarita was refreshing... until the manager offered me a sample of the Carriage House margarita. Whew! Yaaaass! That was deliciously potent! Easily two drinks in one, so pace yourself.
