noah grant's grill house and oyster bar

thursday may 10th. ohhh, i did not like this place. i was seated and bread was delivered, the server turned his back as he was delivering the bread so was unable to order drinks or hors d'ouevres. went to the bar to order a bottle of wine (excellent wine and the bar tender was nice and apologetic). the bartender sent a server and i ordered edamame which was pretty bad. it tasted freezer burned and the beans were starchy. we were seated outside with a table less than a foot away from us. throughout the evening, we were knocked as people walked between the tables to enter the restaurant. about the time we were ready to order our main entrees, the only other outside diners were seated at the table that was less than 12 inches away from us. there was no way to have an intimate conversation with the only diners that close and there was not enough ambient noise to keep our conversation private. we decided to pay our bill and go elsewhere for dinner. walked around the corner and spent ~150.00 on a lovely meal. i wanted to like this place because zionsville could use some good sushi but it is a major amateur operation.

returned may 25,2009. seafood was fantastic!service again slow. they need help but food quality is great if you can stand the wait.


-----09 may, 2009-----

ate there last week. entrees were good but service was lax and the crab cakes were mushy. i will give them another chance however.

great place for sushi and seafood. love this place every time i go. all sushi is great, service is amazing and people are so very friendly. try their sushi and you'll love it!

great food noah was my waiter he did great he gave me mashed potatoes and diet sprite bro he brought it back
kylo ren for life man yeah noah let's go 140
out

really disappointed. we had reservations and were seated near the entrance to the kitchen. the restaurant was uncomfortably hot and humid the entire time and the lighting was kept bright as if it were breakfast seating, not a saturday evening dinner. the food was good, but not overwhelmingly good considering the price. the heat and humidity never let up and we eventually had water dripping into our drinks and food from the ceiling vent above our table. as soon as we looked up to see that, we saw all of the warped ceiling tiles leading to the vent, showing obvious signs of something ominous going on up there. i was grossed out at that point, wondering how many drops of water had dropped into our food/drinks before we noticed and quite sticky. its august in indiana after all. crank up the air conditioning or warn customers if its broken before they are seated. between the heat, humidity and water dripping on our food, i doubt that i'll be back anytime soon.

great dinner and loved the location!

amazing restaurant. great food and great staff. freshest seafood and oysters around. always a good time.

so so. the service was almost non existant. the mussels were terrible. the worst i have ever had. the rest of our meal was just ok. not worth the high cost. they need to figure out if they want to be high end or joes crabshack.

pricey but good. exceptional service. like the oyster selection. tried the meatloaf on a whim and it was really good. try the shrimp tacos as well.

didn't change my life...but it was okay. the sushi was decent, not up to par with the sushi in sf or at h2o in broad ripple, but it was okay. the oysters were nice and seemed fresh. the sides were decent. we had the lobster mac and cheese and another that was not memorable. the experience was decent, but not incredible. i'd go back and choose noah gran'ts over any other restaurant in zionsville.

great time. this was our first time at noah grant's. the staff was very friendly. we had made reservations and were seated immediately. our appetizer of little neck clams was disappointing- first there was no way that it was a pound of clams as advertised. second, the first 2 or 3 i had still contained sand. the broth they were served in was outstanding and we just wished that we had something aside from the 2 small breadcrisps to dip into it. we both ordered the isle style tilapia and it was absolutely delicious. the fish was cooked perfectly, spiced perfectly and the sauce was absolutely delicious- i will definitely order that next time i go there. we got a side ($16.99) of lobster mac and cheese to share. my dining companion loved it and i thought it was fine but not outstanding. they did put a lot of lobster in it which was nice. i had read reviews on the bread pudding so i tried it. it was delicious. my only regret was that i could not finish it. teh homemade whipped cream was a nice touch. a lot of reviews mentioned that the inside was cramped. it is small but not overly. i could see that in some cases if you had a large noisy table beside you that it could bea problem. however, we did not experience any problem like that. so, not perfect but definitely a place to go again. i would recommend it if you haven't been there yet.

good food, way over priced, mediocre service. recently went here and was suprised how much has changed. i went here back when it was bricks and wow, they have lost their touch. first the wine is way over priced, (you can get the same bottles at kroger for the price of 1 glass!), and the service wasnt that good at all. the food was good, most of it anyway, except our mac n cheese came out really cold. the manager was really rude and tried to help but ended up failing again. i was very dissapointed in this place, i miss the old bricks when they had it on point! other than that, its a locally owned restaurant that is...okay, way over priced, service not that great, will not be going back and i dont recommend!

the meal was fantastic (sans the salad) and i would absolutely recommend an evening at the restaurant. they have a happy hour that i would be interested in trying. i would return just to keep eating the sushi and raw bar options – it was divine and is truly a hidden gem in the downtown area of zionsville. lastly, the halibut cheeks shouldn’t be a special – it should definitely be made a permanent menu option as it is now hubby’s favorite food.

i don’t know, maybe sushi is the way to go here, a lot of people seemed to be ordering it. but based on our meal, and the drive, it will likely be awhile before we go back.

what a nice find! on wednesday evening, there is entertainent at lincoln park across the street, so if you are dining alfresco then u can hear the music. food was very good and our server, linda, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. hey owners, she definitely can upsell! :)
