Perfect meal. We chose this spot because of hearing problems. The back room is spaced out well and has enough sound absorbing materials on the walls, floor, and table that it's perfect.

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!

Consistently good. I ate there for lunch and enjoyed the mixed grill. The chicken was fantastic and it also comes with a 4 oz filet and crab cake. I wish this pairing was available for dinner!

Outstanding Christmas Eve meal. Service was outstanding. We have a seriously celiac daughter and the server was great in working with her. I had the Salmon and it was cooked perfect. Others had the scallops, shrimp and grits, and steak fritters. Everyone was very pleased with their meal. Shared Creme Brulee for desert capped off a perfect meal. We were in a back corner table and it was a perfect noise level. Again our server, Giselle was outstanding. Highly recommend.

First time dining as they had open tables on Christmas Eve. So glad we decided to give it a try. The food is absolutely perfect and the pricing was reasonable for a downtown location. Parking was easy, our server was great, and the kitchen staff really turns out some unique and savory dishes. The steak dish I had was cooked and seasoned perfectly. So happy to see there are still restaurants out there that not only take pride in their product but they clearly genuinely care about their patrons. Proximo is officially in our rotation for Fort Wayne. See you all again soon!!
