Mayor John Ditslear joined Keith and Raquel Brooks and their friends and family for the ribbon cutting of The Ville, 101 N. 10th St., on Nov. 13. The newest restaurant in downtown Noblesville is the former Eddie’s Corner Café. The Brooks’ were featured on an episode of “Buy This Restaurant” on the Food Network, which aired in March, and worked more than seven months to renovate the space and kitchen.
Keith serves as owner and executive chef. His culinary team includes sous chef Marc Fry and chef Michael Harris. Brooks, who previously worked in Chef Emeril Lagasse’s kitchen at the Commander’s Palace, said his New Orleans heritage plays a part in the restaurant and the American cuisine menu will focus on health and wellness.
“Things that are fresh, nothing frozen and not many fried items,” he said. “It’s a balance of hearty and healthy but I’m not going to be a health nut.”
Lunch is served 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and dinner is 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. The Ville has a brunch menu from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays. For more information, call 774-5301 or visit www.dineattheville.com.
