Noblesville

About the restaurant

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. Chef Samir & his wife Rachel welcome diners into this intimate space in the heart of Old Town Noblesville.

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!

We had a wonderful experience for our anniversary dinner. They treated us well and were so friendly and accommodating. They started us off with a complementary glass of champagne. They were attentive to our needs, but did not interrupt our evening. The food was fantastic as always. Can’t wait to go back.

Vida is my favorite restaurant for celebrating special occasions. This year, my birthday felt extra special thanks to the thoughtful staff and the personalized touches, from “Happy Birthday” printed on the menu to the beautifully presented dessert plate. We always choose the chef’s table menu, and it never disappoints. Vida is truly my happy place. I highly recommend Vida and all CRG restaurants to our friends and family!
