Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Fortville

Exceptional food, impeccable service! Adam was our server, he was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and the drinks, he was also very kind. I enjoyed the sea bass, my husband had the short rib, both are top notch. We also ordered the bread service and the wedge salad (the carmelized onions made the salad). The restaurant was booked with every table full, but the wait time for drinks and food was not a problem. I loved the background music and everyone enjoying their dinner. Lively in the best way. We are staying at the Iron Works, so we took desserts to our room. The banana ice cream with oatmeal pie and caramel sauce was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Kudos to the Chef and all of the support staff for an evening to remember. It takes a village!!

I've been to Derailed on several occasions for different reasons. Every time it's been excellent service and delicious food and drink.

It had been over half a decade since we’d been to Traders Point, but after seeing their Valentine’s Day menu, we decided it was worth making a Valentine’s Day mini weekend of it. The Harpist music was subtle enough for background, but loud enough to enjoy. Once we realized she was playing pop music songs, we enjoyed guessing them. We ordered the Valentine’s Day Flight half because my wife wanted to see how they were garnished. She really like the bold orange elder flower mimosa and lemon lavender French 75. Will try and recreate at home, you can se me the garnishes in pictures. Orange peel opened up like a rose bud in the Negroni. I had their Honey Bunch (take on a manhattan), pecans work well with Bourbon and honey, who knew? Pecan crumble garnish made it festive and change the taste. And then a Feisty Cabernet Sauvignon to go with dinner. We added a cheese and meat charcuterie board to accompany the meal. Favorite was a goat cheese from California that had Moon in the name of the creamery, we are calling to see if we can be reminded of the creamery. Their own award winning cheese was very good as well. We happily finished everything in the board. We both really like my wife’s crab stuffed shrimp starter. I had meatballs that were a little undercooked in the middle for wife’s preference, but I was quite happy. We are on opposite ends of the cooking temperature spectrum. We were both really happy with our mains. Porkchop with spiced seeet potato swisschard for her and filet with added blue cheese whipped potato brussel sprouts for me. Don’t sleep on the Ice Cream Sundae. It’s a creamery. With house made toffee crumble. Best sundae ever. She liked her cherry chocalate cheesecake, but brought most of it home. And of course on the way out, bought 2 bottles of chocolate milk to take home to the kids. If you are from out of town, always bring a cooler to Traders Point.

per usual, had the best experience! i love the fried ravioli, so delicious! i could go on for daysss how much i LOVE the bread. it's the best italian bread i've ever had in the states (been to italia twice). and the bolognese is my favorite meal & ALWAYS comes out piping hot. and i was so happy to have cassie as our server, she is one of my absolute favorites at italian house! she knows the menu well, is always so kind & friendly, and i just love going back to places that remember me! overall the perfect experience yet again! italian house is my favorite restaurant in indiana.

My partner and I went here for a Valentine's Day date, and we LOVED every second of it. Our server was polite, patient, and engaged with us in our choices. We ordered three pizzas to go and they are INCREDIBLE. My new favorite place for pizza, hands down.
