Great restaurant in South Bend. The steaks were perfectly cooked. The bread pudding and molten chocolate cake dessert were phenomenal. The service was excellent as well. read more

My husband, friend, and I went here after a day of wine tasting. We were actually supposed to go to the kitchen & tavern but got confused and wandered in, which they were able to accommodate easily. We started with the oysters, which were *delightful* albeit small - which is just the name of the game with oysters sometimes. We just wish they were bigger because we wanted more! The entrees were delish. I got the swordfish and pretty much licked the plate clean. read more

For a restaurant that is supposed to be fine dining was only mediocre on a recent visit. Started out with the escargot. Some of the worse I've eaten, not cooked right or in the wrong type dish. Salmon dish was nothing special. Had better at a local tap and grill. Filet was done very well and our best meal. The rack of lamb was med rare as it should but at least grill a little char into it. Looked like it was steamed. As for the veggies, at least cook the carrots and broccolini where I cooked at least cut it with a knife. Very raw and hard. Only decent part of the meal was the half price wine. Kudos to the atmosphere and service but the food is lacking. read more

Menu choices are great. Servers are very attentive and knowledgeable. Wine is exceptional. Ambiance is always great as well.

South Bend doesn't not have much in the way of good restaurants let alone great restaurants. La Salle could be so much better. Their food should aline with the prices but they don't. It is very expensive and the menu looks good but the food just don't live up. Very mediocre. The steaks are so thin and more often than not are overdone. Nothing special about this place. The servers are good which is the only reason it gets a 4 star vs 3. read more

Wonderful service and special treatment for an old man's birthday. It felt like the treat it was meant to be. Thank you LaSalle grill.

We haven't been to LaSalle Grill in a few years. We were looking forward to a nice dinner out. Well, not sure what will bring us back. Starters were foie gras (very small portion) and baked Brie wrapped in dough. The foie was good as was the Brie. Next up was a very underdressed caeser salad and a lobster bisque. There was zero lobster meat visible in the bisque. I say visible as it must have been liquified or something. Disappointed with those. Next up was the porterhouse pork chop and seared scallops. The scallops were done perfectly. The pork was a bit over but thankfully not dry. It was however drowned in a pancetta bolognese that overpowered the chop and Gruyère potato side. Ended with molten chocolate cake and a bourbon maple syrup bread pudding. The desert was the best part of the meal. I'll add that with paying for each soft drink (no refills apparently) was a bit tacky. I did not expect that from a fine dining restaurant. read more

Went for a milestone birthday. They created a customized menu (printed a menu with the birthday girl's name and date at the top) and had a birthday card from the whole kitchen staff. It was a great night. I loved the appetizers we got: basically everything seafood. I actually wasn't all that hungry for a meal so I got the vegetable casserole to pick at which wasn't good (oddly large, breadcrumbs on top were raw not baked, and was lacking flavor overall). We also got some desserts which were great. So, mixed experience on the one entree, but everything else was so good I'm not complaining. read more

UuuuuhhhhhMaZiNG! Very Cutesy Set Up that's inviting and takes you to a scene in Emily in Paris. Shout Out to Tia who was doing such a great job training Ryan. We sat outside and enjoyed the Beautiful Lively Autumn Night. Food/Drinks is Really Really Good, that it was the surprise I didn't know I needed. What a Great Dining Experience and Highly Recommend if You're Not Sure Where to Go and in the Mood to be Impressed! read more

Had the $60 boneless ribeye. Ordered it medium rare and it came out medium. Paired it with the $12 wedge salad. Steak kinda sucked. Ruined a good piece of meat. Waiter didn't ask once how things were. Listen - the ambience is nice. It's an upscale restaurant. But prices have become ridiculous for the entree offerings. I will say the $4 domestic bottled beer was an unusual sighting. That's value. We only come once a year. I think we'll do Cafe Navarre next year instead. read more

Not knowing much about South Bend, my dear friend made reservations for my early birthday celebration! We ordered the lamb chops, Grouper, Filet and we were mindblown at the love and care for presentation! We also ordered O Shaunessy Cabernet Sauvignon! TC was our server and was meticulous with keeping our table clean, and celebrating our girls weekend. Cannot give enough stars for our dinner! Thank you La Salle! read more

Okay good but loud and expensive. Wouldn't go back. Server was distracted but okay. Don't understand its popularity.

The LaSalle Grille has certainly lost two customers. We have dined there for several years as a part of our visit to South Bend. We went with friends this year and when it came to paying the bill, we were told that the only person who could pay the bill was the person who had made the reservation.....who ever heard of that before!!! I had ordered the duck entree, which I have had before and it had always been delicious. Not this time! With a serrated knife, I could barely cut the meat, let alone chew it after "sawing" it. I did not want to embarrass the server and just did not eat it. I did call to speak to the manager and he did return my call. He wanted to know how he could improve these situations with his staff. He stated that perhaps the duck could have been a "bad" duck!! What the heck is a bad duck???? He stated that he would speak to the vendor from whom they had been buying duck for 31 years. No, he did not offer to have the charge removed from our charge card, nor did he offer any "sorry that this happened". Only that he would speak to the kitchen. Well, folks, for a $40.00 entree on a very large check, he has certainly lost two customers. We will not be back to dine there again and hopefully no one else will be served a "bad duck". read more

A wonderful date place. We enjoyed the service and just the attention to detail for us. I started with a Guava Mama which came in this cute Tiki Cup and I enjoyed the almond encrusted Grouper (so good I forgot to take a photo lol) Definitely worth the visit in South Bend :-) read more

I went here with my wife for our tenth anniversary. Our waiter, I think their name was "TC"? was rude, short, and clearly trying to make as much money off of us with as little effort as possible. suggested several bottles of wines and drinks that were not anything we were remotely interested in. and the owner even came and spoke to us, as though to impress us? and he looked like he came straight out of Deadwood as an extra. you realize that Deadwood in 1884 is NOT a goal to aim for? "Hello, I'm Mark McDonnell (I had to google their name) and I think people are really gonna get back into civil war heritage!" you look like a goddamned buffoon. but hey, at least you're willing to try and charge Chicago prices for northwest Indiana boring, mediocre old fashioneds. hey, someone has to pay for your overpriced underpowered pickup truck to make up for lack of size elsewhere, right ? read more

Excelente food and atmosphere. The steak was out of this world. It is pricy but is worth it.

Brian was our bartender on the third floor . When you go upstairs you get the menu from downstairs AND the upstairs bar menu which we ended up ordering all our food from. Brian made our night with his wonderful cocktails, conversation and honest food recs. Will be back! The third floor is not crowded and apparently they have live music every Friday night! Shuffle board as well! The Buffalo wings are super tasty one of my faves read more

We worked with Kim and the team at LaSalle to cater our wedding of about 150 guests, and had the pleasure of dining there as part of our catering engagement. Our tasting experience was a lot of fun, as we got to dine with a couple of friends and sample the menu, while enjoying some excellent wine selected by their sommelier. We were impressed with the quality of all the items we tried -- not your typical wedding fare! Setup and service at the wedding was seamless, and all the servers working the event were quick, courteous, and fun. We have some discerning guests when it comes to food -- including some people who worked in hospitality -- and they all raved about it. The filet, chicken, and tofu entrees all got great reviews. Would definitely recommend LaSalle as caterer for any event, and we plan on returning to the restaurant for our first anniversary meal! read more

My husband and I were given a gift card to LaSalle Grill and we were very excited to eat there again. We had a reservation at 8PM on a Friday night. The restaurant had two other tables seated. The hostess wanted to seat us near the kitchen but do the excessive noise coming from the kitchen we requested a table further away. The staff was talking and joking loudly, it was terrible. The table we ended up being seated at was a little better but still very loud. It felt like we were eating in a food court not a classy upscale restaurant. We probably should have left and I don't know why we didn't. We ordered our dinner and it was not great. The Venison tasted like dry shredded roast beef with gravy and the fish was dry as well. It was so disappointing. We often eat out at fine dining restaurants in Chicago and during our travels. This was not one. The price was very high and the overall quality was low. On a brighter note our server was great. She was very attentive and helpful. read more

Phenomenal. Everything was great. Mains, sides, drinks, and desserts were all top notch. read more

Visited on a Thursday afternoon around 5 pm. I was the first dinner guest of the night. Everyone was polite. Food was pretty good - for dinner I had the Amish Chicken. Next time I will definitely try something different. This dish was good but didn't blow me away. Creme Brulee was really good and perfect for one person. Decent prices on wine. Interior is older looking, not contemporary at all. A bit dated looking but I could see the clientele that would enjoy this atmosphere. Not necessarily my style. read more

If you want a fancy, high class meal in South Bend, this is the place to go. They really go all in on ambiance--the price is a bit more than I'd like, so I only go here once every few years, but I always have a meal that makes me wish I had an extra zero at the end of my paycheck--if I did, I'd go here every week. read more

Service is fantastic. Typically get a lot of attention from your server. They have a limited menu currently but nonetheless the food was still great. I would recommend if your looking to go out for a upscale nice dinner. read more

We were in the mood for a little meat, so this menu called to me and my coworker. We got the wedge salad but requested they chop it instead...perfect!! New York Strip and filet mignon steaks cooked to our taste perfectly! We got a side of Mexican corn which was a little spicy for our taste, but the spoonful we each had was good. Worth trying! The crème brûlée I had for dessert was also excellent! read more

Finally got to eat at this old but famous restaurant in downtown south bend. First of all, the restaurant menu is really good! Go try now while the deal is still on. I would recommend the salad or the fruit pie appetizer. I tried the Amish chicken for entree, which was very flavorful, juicy and tasty. My friend had the steak which was also very delicious (however from her words, the medium steak looked like medium well) For the dessert, please try the molten warm chocolate cake! It was just insanely good and really looked nice on the plate. The chocolate was so good with the chocolate sauce inside, and the ice cream was also tasty. You can reserve seats for Monday-Thursday online, but reservations are not available online for weekend. Street parking is limited, but you are always park in the 2hr free parking garage right opposite the street. Valet is $6. Overall, very satisfied experience, and I would definitely come back again and try other things on the menu! read more

Don't you just wish yelp would let you put decimal points!! My experience was more of a 3.8 star. The service and ambience was 5 star for sure. Compared to Cafe Navarre it has more of a "classic" elegance to it as Cafe Navarre has a more modern elegance. I loved how the tables were set up and the reservation was easily made a week before. The food was prepared well but there were just some mishaps for me. My appetizer was a duck leg confit but it just did not look appetizing to me very grayish color almost and it was oddly paired with these beans that reminded me of beans and franks. Separately the items tasted fine but just did not mesh together at all. My other appetizer was mussels and I have to say this pairing was even more odd to me. First of all this was more like a tomato soup to me. It was very runny and then another weird pairing of Olives! A couple are fine but this literally was olive soup. Very very odd pairing for me and it really overpowered the taste of the mussels. My main dish was a sirloin steak with fried onion on top and mashed potato and green beans. The steak came out beautifully however there was no POP Wow factor for me flavor-wise besides the steak being cooked perfectly. There was just something lacking. The dessert was what saved the dinner for me. I had the creme brûlée and omg I am sooo happy my husband does not like dessert because I did not split it with him the caramelization was perfect on top and beneath that was just yummy goodness. One of the best I have ever eaten!!! All in all I came during restaurant week do it was a steal! However if I had gone outside of that I would have been really let down blowing some top dollar on some weird pairings. Maybe I was expecting more for a 5 star restaurant? read more

The service and ambience were outstanding; even though it was a crowded New Year's Eve. My filet was delicious and a perfect cut. However, the branzino sides were different than described by the menu and it tasted and looked like catfish. We will be happy to return to La Salle Grill. read more

Once again, LaSalle Grill delivers! It's our anniversary, and we always go to LaSalle Grill. So we were really pleased to find out they had a dining take out/delivery opportunity. We had the Surf and Turf, delivered to our door, and it was totally fabulous. This was a full meal, with salad, steak, lobster tails, bread, vegetables, potatoes, and rice, plus dessert and a bottle of wine. We added the Gorgonzola Mac and Cheese, because, gee, we're celebrating. We are both stuffed, so we are taking a break before we tackle dessert. I just wanna say THANKS! read more
