Amazing food. The octopus was cooked perfectly. The scallops were amazing. The ricotta donuts were insane. It was our anniversary and they made us feel special. We really appreciated the attention to detail that is so rare in the service industry these days. These folks are professionals.

The ambiance of the Penthouse was a wonderful throwback to elegant quietness. The student waitstaff could not be more enthusiastic and willing to cater to our every need. The French cuisine was beautifully prepared. My wife enjoyed the charcuterie. My salmon Rillette was beautifully presented (if, a little tasteless. My only minor complaint). Wife had the Coq au Vin. It was excellent. I had the poached fish. The Beurre Blanc was sublime! Despite our concern that we didn't have enough room for dessert, my wife wasted no time gobbling up her Creme Brulee and I wasted no time digging into my pumpkin cheesecake. A wonderful experience that we will do again.

Greencastle

About the restaurant

Craft pizzas, housemade pastas; an incredible assortment of wines and much more!

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.

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. ***

5 stars – Perfect Anniversary Dinner! We celebrated our anniversary at FoxGardin and had an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding—definitely recommend starting with the baked goat cheese appetizer (and be sure to order extra bread—it’s that good!). I had the Best Damn Chicken Parm, which absolutely lived up to its name, and my husband enjoyed the Shrimp and Scallop Primavera special, which was fresh and flavorful. Portions were generous without being overwhelming. The service was top-notch (thank you, Sarah B.)—attentive, friendly, and really made us feel special. We’ll definitely be back!
