As always it was amazing. Alex took great care of us and the food was stunning and delicious. We do a girls dinner every holiday season, and cannot wait to do it again.

Neighborhood Bistro offering a diverse menu inspired by seasonal and local ingredients, our small dining room of just nine tables and four bar seats boasts exposed brick & original hardwood floors.

With a menu that changes every one to two months, a full bar with an eclectic wine list, craft cocktails & mocktails and local beers on tap, we encourage you to try something new at every visit.

Our concept is globally-inspired Bistro fare - we draw inspiration from our own world travels and places on our bucket list to create dishes that will nourish your body and soul. We care deeply about food and where it comes from. We use fresh, local ingredients whenever it is practical, and make nearly everything from scratch. We love sharing our food and hospitality with the Noblesville community!

This is my go to place for dinner. We had Morgan as our server and she is so sweet and took perfect care of us. The seabass and salmon entrees are always a hit. Crab Cakes are a must have! And they have the best Caesar salad! Great girls night out!

Great dining experience and the filet mignon medallions and lasagna were both delicious and are our go to there! Highly recommend. Forgot to mention, 1/2 price wine bottles on Wednesday’s is an extra perk.

About the restaurant

After years of working Downtown Indianapolis, Executive Chef/Owner Jake Burgess decided to come home and open an establishment that delivered the style of service and quality of food he had become accustomed to. FoxGardin is tucked away on quaint Main Street in Fortville.

Minutes to Geist, Fishers, Klipsch Music Center, and I-69, and only 25-30 from downtown Indy, FoxGardin Kitchen & Ale is a perfect spot to sneak away, while still being close to everything!

***FoxGardin Kitchen & Ale is a 21+ establishment. ***

We love this restaurant! Invited friends for a holiday luncheon and it was perfect. Service is attentive. The delicious food is the Star! My guests enjoyed the Gooey Go let turkey sandwich with delicious thick turkey. Pimento cheese sandwich was a hit as were breakfast options.

Greencastle

About the restaurant

Craft pizzas, housemade pastas; an incredible assortment of wines and much more! Seasonal menu from Chef Sal Fernandez.
Sometimes one good idea leads to another. Such is the case with Bridges. With the success of Music on the Square, we began imagining what could happen next. The location next door (19 North Indiana) was up for sale, so we bought it and began thinking of what would be complementary. We started imagining Bridges as a wine bar offering interesting wines to Greencastle. But we soon added a wood burning pizza oven from Italy and more of a restaurant evolved. Ultimately, the idea of Bridges Wine Bar was born. The basement has become a private dining room called The Cellar, an open terrace area on top of the building, which will be used in nice weather, called The Rooftop, and there will be three fully furnished rental apartments which we call The Lofts at Bridges.
We hope you will like our addition to the Square of Greencastle.
