There were soooo many food options I had a hard time choosing, but went with blackened salmon, mashed potatoes and creamed corn. Wow, I was not disappointed.

For my birthday they brought 2 scoops of ice cream with Carmel drizzled on top and whip cream and a cherry. My husband got the meatloaf which very good as well; moist and smothered in brown gravy. Everything was seasoned nicely; not bland at all. The atmosphere and the decor is fun and our server Liz was genuinely happy and helpful. Even their wardrobes were fun and garage themed. There are so many drink options including cocktails beer and wine. My grandson had chicken tenders and fries and loves cars BTW! They have outdoor seating which is heated in the weather and a real fireplace near the bar area. Had a really y nice, fun time and have so many options to come back for.

Next we had some steak fajitas with rice. I was not a fan of the rice and the steak wasn't seasoned to my liking but still a good dish! Lastly we had dessert that put me in the mind of being at the state fair. It was a pastry fried (think like funnel cake taste) and fruit ...so yummy! Now the margaritas! Enjoy as much it as little as you like! I loved experimenting and trying different combos. My favorite was the mango spicy flavor!

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.

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.

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.

They sent frequent text updates about the storm protocol and show status, which helped everyone know what to expect when it was safe to enter. That said, the venue was flooded in some areas, and by the time the gates opened, which was nearly 2 hours after the originally scheduled gate opening time, the lines to get in were quite long. We had purchased lawn tickets, which had good sightlines and reasonable pricing (~$40/ticket), but keep in mind you have to pay for a lawn chair if you want to sit, outside chairs are not permitted. Food, drinks, and merchandise were available, but the lines were long and prices were high. Leaving the venue after the show was a bit frustrating. The Uber pickup area wasn't well-marked, and it was difficult to find a ride back to our off-site parking. Cellular connection within the venue grounds is rather poor, and with so many others requesting rides, Uber was backed up. Overall, Ruoff has a decent setup and good communication, but expect some challenges with flooding, long lines, and post-show transportation.

While I don't typically update my reviews in a year, this latest visit to Ruoff Music Center…read more(originally known as Deer Creek, then Verizon Wireless, then Klipsch, and now Ruoff), my latest visit to a sold out Pearl Jam show really brought to mind some of the strengths of the music center and also some of its weaknesses. Located on 228 acres in Noblesville, Ruoff has long been recognized as one of the top amphitheater stages in the country. Ruoff is a Fort Wayne-based mortgage company that signed a sponsor agreement in 2017. The facility has 6,147 seats under the pavilion and around 18,000 general admission lawn seats. The facility is an open-air music venue. In terms of accessibility, Ruoff is decent but has some significant issues. I will note it has improved dramatically over the years. Service animals are permitted under ADA guidelines. ADA tickets can be purchased at LiveNation.com. Every price range offered has accessible ticket options (of course, they can sell out). Accessible parking is available in the east and west lots. I have a mixed relationship with placard-free accessible parking. They DO ask if you have an identifiable tag. However, they don't require it. This can be great for those with temporary concerns. It also allows for the fact that many with disabilities will catch a ride to a concert and not always have a placard (I drive a car with a handicap plate - I do not have a window placard. Thus, if a friend drives me - as they did last night - I need accessible parking, however, my only actual proof is the wheelchair). My big concerns are: 1) Accessible parking is either in the grass or in gravel. Both can be challenging for wheelchairs. On the west side, as well, you actually cannot access the path to the venue without what they call a "shuttle," essentially a golf cart that is NOT accessible. While some with wheelchairs would be able to handle the path, it's steep and bumpy and generally ill-advised. You are allowed to park at a width that suits your needs (so they didn't question our obvious need for wheelchair width), however, having a shuttle that requires a wheelchair user to actually leave their wheelchair is, quite honestly, stupid. For the record, Yelp currently indicates the entry to be accessible (it's not) and that parking is accessible (it's not). While I love Yelp's new accessibility questions, I often find they are left to people who don't know accessibility and this is a great example. There's simply no way this venue can be called accessible. YES, they do make attempts to accommodate. However, real accessibility means someone with a disability can have the same experience as everyone else and do so independently. The parking and shuttle issues are easily and affordably addressed - Ruoff simply chooses to not do so. Because the venue was sold out last night, I found these deficits much more challenging. They also made for a MUCH longer night as we had to first wait for a shuttle and then wait for the one of two shuttles that was more accessible (which meant I could climb out of my wheelchair and into it - the other shuttle, again a golf cart, I couldn't even do it). And yes, if you pay for VIP parking (I was in the free areas) the options do improve. And again, I must say, despite my concerns that Ruoff has improved and the staff were wonderful in terms of doing what they could. My concerns are leadership-level. Moving on, you can request an interpreter with a two-week notice (there is no charge for this beyond the ticket). Accessible seating permits for the guest with the accessible need and one companion. Assisted listening devices are available with a two-day notice. All venue bathrooms, concession stands, and merchandise stands are mostly accessible. The bathrooms are relatively easy to get into (the entry is a bit narrow and they are so crowded that you may have to wait for an accessible option). The grounds tend to have some inclines/declines. You can also check the website for all other regulations about what you can take in (I am a little concerned about the need for clear bags/backpacks - I get it completely and respect the need for safety, but for those with disabilities who have more personal supplies this can be challenging). Last night really brought home my pavilion seating preference, though lawn seats are much less expensive. As is true of all music facilities, advance planning for disability makes for a better experience all around. We actually got moved to amazing seats (this was a re-scheduled show) and the employees were all helpful and friendly. While I was very close, standing often impeded my review -the big screens helped and after a while it seemed like the crowd caught on about my vision (as a wheelchair user) and made sure it happened. It's amazing how friendly people get once they're intoxicated and have a contact high. Fantastic concert. Mid-range venue with serious accessibility issues. Definitely plan ahead.
