The Back Porch - Zionsville

Another top notch visit to Noah Grant's! So happy we got to go back during our visit! Never disappoints. Consistently a wonderful and delicious experience with exceptional service and an awesome vibe. The scallops again were probably the best I've had. Sooooooo good! First time we got dessert since we were so full, the four of us shared it. Everything was perfect, even the timing of the course servings. Couldn't find a negative if we tried. Do yourself a favor and get here if you haven't yet.

I came here for my birthday early December and was pleasantly impressed! We had the ahi tuna and coastal ceviche for an appetizer and i loved the tuna! I wish we had gotten two of those. The ceviche was good but overall a bit bland. Our service was fantastic. We didn't feel rushed but were checked in on enough. We were towards the back so it was also nice and quiet. The mahi mahi was my absolute favorite. It totally blew me away with the sweetness of the sauce and the pineapple. I'll be back for sure!

We had not been here in quite awhile however we plan to rectify that as the food is so fresh and outstanding. We started with an appetizer of tuna tatare in a ponzu sauce. The tuna was lovely as was the sauce. We just wish that crackers or some type of chip or bread was included to scoop up the tuna. I had the day scallops with risotto cakes and a carrot purée. They were excellent although the carrot purée made it a bit sweet. My husband had the blacked grouper which was very tasty but he did tell me that next time he was getting the scallops. Lily, our server, did an excellent job. It does appear to be a quieter atmosphere than in the past which is nice. Definitely recommend.

I'm just going to jump right in to this review cause I don't know why it took us so long to try this place. The food and service was top notch. I'll start with acknowledging that they really utilize their reservation system and texted us to let us know our table was available early. We went here to celebrate my hubbys birthday and they had a cute little chalkboard sign on the table for him. Our server was amazing, he was attentive and full of recommendations which were on point. Drinks: Not so old fashioned- hubby said it was really good and refreshing for an old fashioned. It had a bit of a citrus note Candy Cosmo- lemon forward but refreshing and light Espresso martini- a little too creamy however delightful if you like a lot of cream in your coffee Oysters- We tried 3 different oysters all were very good and fresh. They were served in a little boat which was adorable. Sushi- Caribbean Kyle Roll- the sauce was sweet yet a bit of a spice. Inside the little bits of fresh jalapeño could catch you off guard as not every piece gives you that spiciness The soy paper was a nice addition. Mains- Gulf shrimp Rockefeller Pasta- Portion was huge I brought leftovers home. There was plenty of shrimp. The sauce was rich and creamy. You could taste every ingredient in every bite from the spinach to the bacon to the cheese in the Alfredo sauce. Absolutely amazing and probably the best Alfredo I've ever had. Wild Hawaiian Ahi Tuna- Large portion with several thick pieces of fresh rich tuna. Dish was packed full of flavor and dimension. Has a nice sear of the outside. The potato purée and asparagus on the bottom were cooked to perfection and were the perfect accompaniment. Dessert which was complimentary for hubbys birthday. He chose the butter cake. It was topped with ice cream, whipped cream and strawberries. It had a bit of a bread pudding feel but was still delicious and not overly sweet. Overall very impressed and will definitely return very soon.

Holy. Sh! . This restaurant was phenomenal. We came on a Friday night without a reservation and waited only about ten minutes to sit at the bar. While we were waiting the bartenders were even attentive and offered menus and to take drink orders. We sat at the bar, I ordered a purple reign and it was perfect. Not too sweet and what a delicious combination of lavender, lemon, gin and a sprig of rosemary as garnish. 10/10 We ordered the recommended scallops dish and the blackened grouper sandwich with a wedge salad and garlic mashed potatoes. Everything was off the charts, perfectly seasoned, delicious flavors, good portions and the seafood was cooked to perfection. We loved the decor and though it was full, didn't feel overcrowded inside. Parking was easy in a nearby lot. We will happily return and try something else. Highly recommend. 10/10.
