Croquet Madame with chicken parm soup
Angela B.

I love a local spot, and this one didn't disappoint. Clean and timeless diner vibes, friendly staff, specials, and great flavors and portions. The soup of the day, Chicken Parmesan was the star of my order, honestly. The freshest tomato with the perfect blend of spices and perfectly cooked chicken under the gooiest layer of cheese! As a bonus, apparently a perfect spot to watch the local 4th of July Parade too!

Panini x2

Food is excellent, and you can tell they use fresh ingredients and everything is made to order. It did take a bit for our food to come out, despite the business being pretty slow. Service was friendly, and the space itself has a cozy coffee house vibe. It's tucked into a shopping center and can be a little tough to find, but they do have their own parking lot on the side of the building. All in all a pretty good experience...that said, the prices were very expensive for what we got - two breakfast sandwiches and two iced coffees ran us just about $50.

We catered Panini Panini at work and it was phenomenal! Everyone loved the flavorful sandwiches, fresh salad, and fruit. There was a great variety for everyone. I tried half the grilled cheese and half the mushroom sandwich both were delicious! The staff is always kind and the atmosphere is cozy. If you haven't tried this local gem, you're missing out!

Tuna fish panini--deliciously!
Beth W.

Delicious! Delicious! I ordered the tuna salad panini and it was huge! And hugely delicious. It also came with a tasty green salad (no iceberg here!) and a couple slices of fresh cantaloupe. I could only eat half the sandwich but I can attest that the other half was nearly as delicious for lunch the next day. I had also ordered a slice of the lemon tart, which the wrapped and pro-actively kept refrigerated for me. I sat on their outdoor patio, which was really nice, despite the day's heat, with flowers, greens, a Buddha and Ganesh statues. The service was tremendous--they even brought a bowl of water for my dog.

What a divine little spot in Michigan City. Waze took us through some questionable neighborhood roads and we started to question if we were going the right way, but sure enough we found Panini Panini. It's a gem hidden in the community. I got the gluten free turkey club. It was delicious. The gluten free bread tasted like the real stuff - impeccable! Love their garlic sauce on the sandwich. Husband got a Ham and Swiss but subbed for cheddar. He also loved his sandwich. He said the crunchy bread was great. We both got Great Lakes kettle chips and Jones soda as well! I loved their homemade grape vinegarette! It paired perfectly with the side salad that as fresh shaved parm, tomato, and cucumber, and red onions. I could have had that as my whole meal. All together I think the meal was around $40 with the brownie. We loved it and the quality was definitely there. Would love to go back if we're ever in the area. Seems like it is well known by people in the area as there was a steady stream of people. Staff was also super nice! Check it out!

Dessert case

The lazy ceiling fans, the piano jazz quartet music just over the hum of the kitchen fans, the handwritten menus and specials boards, textured walls and ceiling and the character of impressionist art, the Euro-American cuisine, the delightful surprise dessert case, you would be forgiven for thinking you walked out of Michigan City into a 50-year old neighborhood classic favorite in Boston or New York City. Rich in character, Wonderful food (the Cubano were delicious, and my wife loved her chicken pest and French onion soup , friendly and reasonably fast service, great as a family or lunch spot (we visited with our 2, 3.5, and 5yo). Recommended by our Airbnb host and we pass it on to you.

Half Club melt with tomato soup

Absolutely amazing food with stunning homemade bakery by the wonderful owner, Mars! The food is a triumph, caters for gluten free folks and the atmosphere and staff are fantastic. We can't wait to come back :)

Quite surprised! Much more quality food than I anticipated. Food was wonderful. Atmosphere was cute and I loved the patio. For the prices, there was a lot of food. The staff was helpful and extremely friendly despite how busy they were! Would return and try all the things on the menu.

Charlotte M.

Loved the food, and big props to Thomas, I came in yesterday and had to return today after his outstanding service and cooking. He once again accommodated my allergies perfectly and even surprised me with two slices of cantaloupe that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Ordered the mushroom truffle pasta and it was so comforting. The sauce was creamy with a rich earthy flavor from the mushrooms and truffle. I loved that the pasta itself was fresh and had a nice texture. There was a good amount of sauce without it being overly heavy. Our server was kind and gave us great wine suggestions to pair with it. The restaurant had a cozy atmosphere with warm lighting and soft background music. I'd definitely come back just for this dish.

What a delicious vanilla latte!
Linda P.

What a delicious little find! Sometimes, traveling with a dog leaves you with not so great options. Panini Panini delivered on all levels. Very friendly & attentive staff. Cute outside patio with umbrella covered tables. And the food - SO GOOD!! Ham Breakfast croissant- yes please. Breakfast BLT - amazing! Perfect & pretty vanilla latte. A huge water bowl brought table side for our furry friend. We really enjoyed it all & can't wait to come back!!

Such a cute cafe! Delicious food and coffee with an adorably decorated interior…read more My family and I visited Issa Vibe on the way through to Union Pier. When entering the restaurant we were immediately greeted by staff and were advised to grab a menu from the nearby wall. Orders are placed at the counter, food and coffee. They also provide an estimate on wait-time for coffee and food based on level of orders currently placed. We were given a buzzer and advised that our name would be called for both coffee and food. The bourbon vanilla Madagascar latte was delicious, I loved that the coffee flavor was not overpowered by homemade coffee syrup. The paninis were delicious and very filling! They come with a side salad or kettle chips.

I ordered the pesto egg panini alongside a pistachio iced latte. The panini was the standout--fresh bread, flavorful pesto, ripe tomatoes, and a well-balanced combination of flavors. The pistachio latte, however, could use a little refinement. I'd love to see pistachio cream incorporated instead of a liquid syrup, which could give the drink more body, richness, and a more pronounced pistachio flavor. Overall, a great café experience with plenty of personality and a menu worth exploring.

businesses, and the restaurant has a lot going for it, but unfortunately, I left feeling a little…read moreunderwhelmed. We were looking for somewhere to dine on Labor Day, and I saw on social media that Heron Bistro was open. I had also seen their much-loved fish and chips featured online, so I was excited to give them a try. I didn't realize until afterward that they were serving only their brunch menu on Labor Day. I completely understand the decision, but I wish that had been communicated on social media as well. I later saw the notice on their website, but it would have been helpful to know before we arrived. My husband ordered the half-pound mussels in saffron sauce with frites. He thought they were pretty good, although he wished the dish had come with a spoon so he could enjoy more of the flavorful broth at the end. I had initially been eyeing the French onion soup but ultimately decided on the French Dip with shaved ribeye, caramelized onions, Gruyère, garlic aioli and frites. At $22, I found the sandwich disappointing. The bread wasn't toasted, and I felt the sandwich was light on the ribeye and overall lacked the richness I was expecting from a French Dip. It was, unfortunately, just an average sandwich. I think this dish could be elevated quite a bit. I could envision it served open-faced on toasted bread, perhaps with garlic butter, then topped with gooey Gruyère and a generous portion of shaved ribeye. The au jus itself was tasty and had good flavor. I opted for the potato galette instead of the frites because I didn't want a plate full of fries as a filler. The galette was a nice change and something I enjoyed. Ironically, the table next to us ordered the French onion soup, and it looked absolutely amazing. I immediately wished I had stuck with my first instinct! Our server, however, was wonderful. She was professional, friendly and attentive without being intrusive. She checked on us several times and was lovely throughout our meal. Our food runner was also very pleasant. She presented our food, asked if we needed anything, and when we mentioned we needed silverware, he quickly brought it to us. The restaurant itself has a wonderful European feel when you first walk in, and I especially loved the beach-glass wall at the far end. Since it was such a beautiful day, we chose to sit outside. The enclosed patio has plenty of seating, and with the umbrellas positioned throughout, it was easy to find some shade. I think the patio has a lot of potential and could be made even more inviting. Rather than traditional umbrellas, I could envision larger sun shades paired with whimsical string lights to create a more intimate atmosphere. The owners have also done a clever job of disguising some of the exterior pipes with faux olive trees. I'd probably add a few more of those throughout the patio because they work well with the European-inspired atmosphere. One thing that distracted from the otherwise charming setting was the row of hanging pots along the wrought-iron fence. The flowers appeared to be past their prime, so I think either removing the pots altogether or replacing them with a few well-maintained window boxes filled with sun-loving plants would make a big difference. There's also a large wall overlooking the patio that I think could become a real focal point with a beautiful French-inspired mural. Of course, that would likely require working something out with the owner of the neighboring building, but it could really transform the space. The music was another small detail that I thought could be improved. Rather than classic oldies, I think some appealing instrumental dinner music would better complement the European atmosphere. Not that I minded hearing my husband sing along to Elton John, but it didn't quite match the ambiance I felt the restaurant was trying to create! From what I've read and seen online, the dinner menu looks fantastic, and I think I may have simply missed the mark with my lunch selection. There were definitely things I enjoyed about our visit -- the atmosphere, the patio, the friendly service and the au jus and potato galette -- but at the price point, I was hoping for a little more of a "wow" factor from the food. I'm rooting for Heron Bistro because I love seeing family-run businesses succeed, and I think the restaurant has a lot of potential. Perhaps I simply ordered the wrong thing this time. I'd definitely be interested in returning for dinner and trying some of the dishes that have caught my eye online before making a final judgment.

I've tried to like Heron Bistro several times, but after this past visit we won't be back. The…read moreambiance in this restaurant should be amazing, because the physical space and character of the place is really cool. The problem is the lighting and the music. The long, dangling, super bright light fixtures are distractingly bright. These either need to be dimmed, changed, or covered with something. The music is being supplied by a pair of 8 in tall Sonos speakers sitting on opposite corners of the bar. You cannot fill a space of this size with speakers that were meant for a small room. It just sounds like noise. The appetizers were pretty good, actually. We were hopeful that dinner would be solid this time, but it was a big miss. The chicken gnocchi was overcooked, dry, and lacked seasoning or flavor. My medium steak frites was cooked nearly well done and was equally dry and lacked flavor. This place has lasted a while on Franklin Street, but I'm not sure how. There are so many other nice options within walking distance. I think this place needs a new chef and some design advise.

One of the bowls was also a little cold in the center, but otherwise everything was really good. The inside is clean and welcoming, with a couple of picnic tables for seating and some cute shelves with little items for sale. Most importantly, the owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming.
