I reserved a table of 4 at 7pm. When I made the reservation 2 weeks prior I requested to be sat in a certain area not a specific table though. 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. read more

When Plan A Falls Through, Sometimes You Find Something Better Our 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. read more

Bar Ellis is one of those places you can't stop eating until every bite is gone! Our table got a variety of appetizers, but I personally got the empanadas and crab rangoons and WOWWW! This is the 3rd time I've had the rangoon's and they keep getting the better. The empanadas were delicious, crispy on the outside and so savory inside. Although I was already already stuffed to the brim, I went for the carrot cake while my friends also ordered the peanut butter pie and wedding cake, all 3 were to die for. The mocktail I ordered was fantastic! Loved the flavor combo. Service was great! Our server was lovely, quick, and we were sat immediately even without a reservation. I failed to grab a pic due to the downpour, but we were sat right in the front window and it would be a great view on a nice night. read more

We had a great dining experience at Bar Ellis for our anniversary. There was rooftop seating (3rd level) that we reserved on open table. Service was excellent with plenty of staff to tend to your needs. There is also patio seating for anyone interested. Free parking was available in the garage behind the restaurant. We started with appetizers: jerk chicken wings with my wife getting a mocktail margarita and I got a draft beer. They have a good selection. We got ours from the bar on 3rd floor. Next up was entree: the crab stuffed salmon blackened, roasted red pepper beurre blanc, broccoli florets which was very delicate and tasty and such excellent presentation. My wife had the shaved steak sandwich with provolone cheese, caramelized onions, au jus on parmesan sourdough which she said was off the hook. This was a great place for those special dinner with your special date. read more

This was our first time at Bar Ellis, and our group of four couldn't have been any more pleased. My gumbo was outstanding, the lemon drop cocktails were fantastic, and our server was spot-on attentive and pleasant. The ambiance of the restaurant itself was also great. We will definitely be back soon. Nicely done. read more

I met some friends here for dinner recently and was happy to find a new restaurant in downtown Noblesville that I enjoyed. I tried the horseradish tomato soup (same as the one at 10 West), a salad and a lemon drop martini. The food was very good - I have always been a fan of it at 10 West and I liked their take on the lemon drop (with vanilla). The atmosphere was fantastic- I can't wait until it's warm enough to eat outside! Service was efficient and friendly. Overall a nice visit and addition to downtown. read more

Very fortunate to have this restaurant steps from where I live. Overall, it has a very cozy neighborhood vibe. I chose to sit up at the upstairs bars, partly because I wanted to give myself a little tour. I had been studying their menu for awhile. Was happy to see they have a mocktail menu since I am doing Dry January (but cant wait to come back to have an actual cocktail. They all look delicious) I ordered the Virgin Paloma. It was delicious. One of the best mocktails I have had all month. It did take awhile to get someone's attention to order some food. There seemed to be plenty of staff. I ordered the crab rangoons. The star was definitely the dipping sauce. I ordered the oatmeal cake to take home. I am very excited to try their other desserts in the future. Nice addition to downtown Noblesville. read more

Love this place! Service is exceptional, cool vibes, and quality food. We've been several times but my favorite item is the walleye fish. It has a touch of horseradish in the breading that is so good. We also recently had the homemade chicken and noodles and they are just like my grandma use to make! Every dessert we have tried here (usually their cake) is exceptional as well. read more

We were out for a family dinner and stopped by Bar Ellis. I highly recommend a reservation. Thankfully they had a cancellation and they were able to squeeze us in. The food was so good. I especially recommend the bacon wrapped shrimp and the jerk chicken wings. They have a lot of other tasty sounding dishes that I would love to try. We each got a cocktail and had an awesome time. Great date night or girls night spot :) read more

I'm starting with dessert first. Cause that slice of wedding cake. Wow. The title fits it perfectly. A classic cake, elevated to perfection. Everything about it was spot on, the cake texture, sweetness level, amount of frosting and filling. Then we must talk about the vegan options - two entrees, two sandwiches, two appetizers, one salad. As a vegetarian, it's nice I don't have to just settle and order from a list of salads or sides, which is my typical experience at places like this. The vegan chik'n milanese was a good option. The lemon caper sauce brought it all together. Would like to try one of their sandwiches next time. The space is great with two stories and a variety of seating options: indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. A good atmosphere overall. Service was great and employees friendly. read more

Bar Ellis was such a fun little spot with each level feeling like a different vibe. We were sat on the rooftop which is a nice touch. We ordered a bunch of apps to share and honestly, they all slapped. The crab rangoons were my favorite, crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, just so good. The smoked salmon pinwheels and bacon wrapped shrimp were also solid and had great flavor. I tried one of the Delta 9 seltzers while we were there. The flavor I picked wasn't my favorite but I've had them before and usually like them so I'd still give it another shot. My friend got the shaved steak and the portion was huge, definitely come hungry if you're going for that. Their menu has a ton of variety so I'm already planning to come back and try more. Service was overall okay! Great spot to chill with good apps and drinks. read more

First visit here! The place has a great vibe. Server was very friendly. Menu is simple, but elevated. Decent cocktail list. I order the whiskey sour which came in a brandy glass which I thought was odd. It was good though. Stuffed mushrooms were a hit. The two sammies we got were both tasty. There is an upstairs, we did not take a look, but will be back to check it out! read more

A Wonderful Early Valentine's Dinner Last night we went to Bar ellis with friends for an early Valentine's Dinner, which turned out to be one of the best evenings that we have enjoyed at BE. We went for the Sweetheart Swans dessert, which is one of Chef Bill's many signature desserts and my wife's favorite. But the real joy was the evening's special - a Seafood Pasta with Penne pasta, scallops, shrimps and lobster in a magnificent lobster cream sauce. Absolutely one of the best pasta (and seafood) dishes that I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. That's the Wonder of dining at Bar ellis - the food is always extremely good, the ambience great and you're always treated like friends even if it's your first visit; and then there's Bill's specials. There is nothing ordinary about BE! read more

It has been a while since a restaurant totally knocked my socks off. Bar Ellis is a noblesville gem! We went here for my dads birthday dinner. We tried a few appetizers which were delicious. Everyone loved their cocktails as well. I tried the crab stuffed salmon. It was INCREDIBLE! I just got the side of broccoli but you're able to swap out for any of their sides. My husband got the Gumbo. It came with chicken and sausage and it was also very delicious. We got to sit upstairs. I think we saw that this place was a "rooftop" bar. It kind of is because it's on the second floor and with the warmer weather they can open up the garage door style patio doors, but it is a covered patio. Still great vibes though read more

Tried this place on a Friday evening - we were seated almost immediately despite not having reservations. I cannot speak highly enough about both the food and the cocktails we had, both were divine! Our server was quite attentive too. We will absolutely be back, and soon!!! read more

Four stars because the service was excellent. It was a cool place that's a nice addition to the town. That said on the 2nd floor in the screened in area, at dusk, be sure not to have a seat facing West, the sun is so bright directly in your eyes you can't see your date across the table. But I'll just stop my whining and bring my sunglasses next time. Now for the food. Well it wasn't anything mind blowing. It was ok. Daughter had a burger. Wife had seafood shells and I had the French dip. I'll just say I think the fries were exactly like the frozen fries you find at a grocery store. But hey, the wedding cake was exceptional and no one was even getting married. Didn't know you could do that. I'd come for desert again for sure. read more

Went here on the whim, and found a great spot to chill and have drinks at! While we weren't here long the drinks and staff didn't disappoint! We also ordered a side of fries which were great too! Can't wait to bring friends back! read more

The food and service are consistently great. The atmosphere is outstanding- fits well with the downtown vibe. My go-to dish is the gumbo. Never disappointed. read more

Gotta go with the full five stars- this place was great in every aspect. The menu, food, service (thank you for taking such good care of us, Alex!) and atmosphere were all on point. Two of us ordered the Pork Schnitzel, one ordered the Walleye and one had the Blackened Grouper Taco special. Great selection of mocktails, but we also enjoyed the Cool as a Cucumber and the Old Fashioned. Whoops! no pics of drinks ‍ It's right on the square in Noblesville- we easily parked on the street. Two ancillary big pluses for me- they take reservations and they have a kids menu, so I look forward to returning with my daughter and her family. Much bigger inside than it initially looked, yet it was never super loud at any point. read more

First time going. My wife got a 5:15pm reservation, Saturday night. We got seated immediately. My wife got a Cool as a cucumber drink and really enjoyed it. I had a lemonade. She got a salad (mixed greens), I got the Tomato and horseradish soup. Both were excellent especially the soup. It was served with small grilled cheese sandwiches. The entree, my wife got the special which was a Pasta, with blackened chicken etc. I got a stuffed salmon with crab. Excellent, excellent. For desert we got the wedding cake. My wife liked it better than me. To me it was too sweet. Overall, it was an excellent experience. Service was great. After we got our food, the owner stopped by to make sure everything was good. This is a fantastic addition to the square. Well done Bar Ellis team. We WILL return! read more

Great place in Noblesville. Nice outdoor seating upstairs and lively bar on both floors. Food is good as are the drinks. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Excellent food, great service. The ambiance was ok - it was very crowded on a Saturday and the space was really tight. There was not a good place to put my coat while I was eating and the space between the tables was super tight for me. The drinks left something to be desired. The blood orange whiskey sour lacked the punch of blood orange that I was expecting (both in color and flavor), and the slice of orange that was in it was not a blood orange. The old fashioned had muddled cherries and oranges rather than the traditional style of service. Having pulp in your drink is not always the best. The rest of the food was excellent... I will definitely be back, I just will come when it's less crowded and stick to water. read more

This place is amazing, the horseradish tomato soup is excellent. The garlic rolls melt in your mouth.

it was our 25th wedding anniversary dinner. stated that in 2 places when making a reservation. No one ever wished us a Happy Anniversary. ordered some bar drinks that were nice. meal came I got chicken Marsala . it was so salty I could not eat. pasta was mushy. husband walleye very dry. offered a free desert for bad meal. Did not take was just really dissatisfied with meal and no one saying happy Anniversary. we will never be back unfortunately. read more

We stopped in later in the evening. We were probably a bit under dressed but had a fantastic meal. Great food, great atmosphere , and service. We felt it priced well compared to other restaurants on the square. We plan to return. read more

Great food and service! The staff was so friendly and the food was delicious. We loved the bacon wrapped pork and the chicken Milanese. Definitely get the key lime pie! read more

What a great addition to the Noblesville square! We loved everything from the atmosphere to the food and the service. Set in a historical building with exposed brick - we were seated on the second floor overlooking the activity on the street/courthouse. There is also seating in the alley and rooftop during warm weather....closed to adults only after 9 pm. We'd like to come back on a Saturday for the entertainment. The food was excellent - I had the Chicken Milanese (moist and delicious) and my husband had the special - porterhouse pork chop with apple chutney.... He loved it. We had bacon wrapped shrimp for an app - Smokey and delicious - highly recommend. This place will be in our rotation for Friday night dinner out! read more

Great food, a lot of selection like Chefs former establishment but a few changes and everything we had was delicious. The setting in old town Noblesville was fun! Even though clod outside sat on patio with clear weather currents to keep it warm. Highly recommend read more

We checked this out during the week for a Random date night. The customer service was good and the ambiance was nice. The food was mediocre and the drinks weren't anything special. I wanted to love them. However, it's still fairly new so we'll try again in the summer. read more

Great atmosphere. Food was great. Server was very attentive. Highly recommend. We did an open table reservation

Super delicious food! There was a small problem with my husband's food, but the restaurant immediately made him something new. I'm very impressed with how they handled the situation. Looking forward to coming back when it's warm for the rooftop! read more

One of our favorite places in downtown Noblesville. The food is amazing. They have the best gumbo I've had outside of New Orleans. We've been there a few times whether to see a comedian or to check out the live music playing. Our favorite part about this new place is the food. We've had a number of dishes. All of them have been incredible. The staff is also some of the friendliest and helpful you'll ever experience anywhere. Bottom line, it's incredible. I just hope we can still find a seat once word gets out about them. read more

What we loved: the menu is diverse, the portions are such that you feel satisfied but not ill, presentation is impressive (try the hummus appetizer!), and the signature drinks are yummy (mine had 3 ripe raspberries!!). Our service at the bar was attentive and friendly. There were a couple of TV's to note, but it's not a sports bar. The decor is attractive, industrial but not cold. We'll be back, I want to try so many more items! read more

We went in for just drinks tonight and were told that it was opening seating. Since it was a beautiful night we decided to go upstairs on the patio. There were 4 other tables out there all getting served by the same person. After 10 minutes of sitting there and not greeted we ended up leaving. This is a huge disappointment since I have heard nothing but good things about this place from coworkers and friends read more

This place is amazing!! I went out in the Noblesville area for my birthday with some friends and we happened upon Bar Ellis around 10 p.m. The staff was immediately friendly and welcoming!!

The salted caramel espresso martini is to die for, and the complimentary birthday prosecco was such a special surprise!! read more
