About the restaurant
Located in Roanoke, a charming, historic rural community in northeast Indiana (15 minutes from Ft. Wayne, 1.5 hours north of Indianapolis and 3 hours east of Chicago), Joseph Decuis is the showcase for local farm raised food, and is a gourmet experience to remember. Our menu features seasonal dishes with ingredients raised on our farm (and other like minded farms), creatively and artfully prepared by our Chefs. The heart of the restaurant is housed in an old bank building (the vaults are now wine cellars) where you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back in time to a simpler way of life where time around the table meant something. You’ll enjoy a top-quality meal in quiet, comfortable surroundings with outstanding hospitality.

What an incredible evening here. I made the reservation for a celebration and was able to coordinate a toast upon arrival. The food was very good and Rochelle was wonderful to help navigate the wine list and dinner. She even showed us around the restaurant which was very interesting and appreciated. Thank you!

Dinner on a Wednesday night was very good. We had a party of four and everyone enjoyed the meal. Salmon, meatloaf and a vegetarian salad was enjoyed. Getting the check took a bit as the system was down.
