GIVEN HOW in-demand the seats are at this Noblesville seasonal innovator, one might think owners Samir and Rachel Firestone Mohammad want to restrict their audience to their regulars on the far north side. But that’s not the way these team players and community-oriented restaurateurs roll. Anyone who circulates even a little at Indy’s collaborative wine dinners and foodie festivals has seen the pair bring their globally inspired Midwestern flavors to the hungry masses over the last year.
They’ve also created a community dinner series to allow even more patrons to sample their takes on the local farmstead ingredients that inspire their dishes. Mussels in aromatic broth, house-made burrata with of-the-moment garnishes, and pasta with shrimp and lemony cream sauce still anchor the menu, so to speak, but it’s better to let the creative duo keep you guessing.
