We dined at Roselily last night and I can say without hesitation this was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. We did the six-course chef's tasting with wine pairings and every single course delivered. The food was creative, beautifully presented, and incredibly well-balanced, and the wine pairings elevated everything even further. You can tell there is real thought and precision behind every detail--from the menu to the pacing of the meal. And the ambiance was a total vibe! But what truly made the experience stand out was the service. The team struck that rare balance of being both highly professional and genuinely warm. Nothing felt scripted. It felt personal. When they learned we were close to graduating from our MBA program, they surprised us with a menu signed by the entire staff, filled with handwritten notes of encouragement. One simply said, "Follow your dreams." That moment will stick with me forever: core memory unlocked. This is the kind of detail you do not forget. This is not just a great restaurant--it is a full experience. I would absolutely put Roselily at Michelin-star level. If you appreciate thoughtful, elevated dining with exceptional service, this place is worth going out of your way for. We will be back for sure! read more

This restaurant sits in a very unassuming building and location, but it's one of those restaurants you can't help but come back to. As you walk inside, it feels a little bit like home. It's cozy, the lights are a little dimmer, and the staff is so kind. There are a few tables all situated in the same area but you can also choose to eat at the bar, with an amazingly nice and kind bartender to keep you company. We tried the Chef's special and let me tell you, it definitely was special. All of the flavors complimented each other so well, and even though there were some foods/flavors I don't typically prefer, the dish was made so well that I had to eat it all. The cadence of the dishes coming to the table were at a good pace and our waitress was very attentive the entire evening. The gnocchi was to die for and the Hamachi base needs to be bottled up and sold separately. Overall, I would definitely recommend coming here and trying out the Chef's tasting menu when you have the chance! read more

We came to Roselily this past weekend. Once you get in, you're warmly greeted. As you're seated you walk past the open kitchen, and are introduced to the chefs as you walk past. This is a very cozy space. Maybe 15 tables, plus bar seating. The food! A sampling of apps. Oysters on the half shell (great). Mushroom pate (rich and luxurious). Steak tartare (wonderful). The show stopper was the spaetzle in a tomato and cauliflower sauce, with lobster. This looked like no other spaetzle we've seen. It was simply fantastic. And there was a good amount of lobster. Two ordered the branzino, two of us the ribeye. Our server recommended the ribeyes at medium rare, which is how I like it anyway. The steak was excellent, and the shio kombu butter on top was just perfect. A few sides of potato pave to go along. Those needed salt (plus I like pepper). Everything else was perfectly done. The desert menu was underwhelming for our likes Service was a bit spotty. It really slowed towards the end. What we didn't like was the two unisex restrooms. There is no separation from the dining area and where those are located. We'll be back. Wonderful food, super friendly staff. Plus a 6 course chef's tasting menu looks like fun. read more

Absolutely the best restaurant in northern Indiana. Incredible variety of gourmet dishes and unexpected food combinations. Tasting menu events and chef specials are incredible -- flavor, aroma, texture, color, even temperature are factored into each bite. Fantastic wine and craft cocktail pairings. Service is impeccable as well. Would easily compete with a restaurant in any major world city. Highly recommended. read more

everyone is always SO friendly and the restaurant has a cozy ambiance. although they could stand to turn the lighting up a little. i got the tasting menu which was mostly good except i really didn't like the duck confit which was burnt and spicy in a bad way. but they rotate the tasting menu dishes so i'm guessing that the duck isn't a permanent fixture (phew) read more

Food is amazing, it's incredible to see south bend transform into a creative food scene. Growing up in this Midwest city I wasn't accustomed to niche or locally supportive food concepts that boasted fresh local ingredients like Roselily. It's refreshing to see restaurants and customers wanting to make healthier choices, and with that comes menus that rotate often to boast the best produce and new flavors. Delish meal is always in store for you here! read more

This was my second time at Roselily, and it was just as delightful as the first, if not more so. My parents love it here, and so it was the perfect place to take them to dinner before heading back to NYC after my holiday visit. We sat at the bar, which is beautiful, and enjoyed a remarkable repast. Every January, Roselily is "taken over" by a unique regional menu, this time one inspired by Greece. Guided by our very warm and knowledgable bartender, Rob, we were given a series of delicious plates, many fresh and innovative takes on Greek classics. Portion sizes, presentation, and pacing were ideal. We also loved our surprisingly delicate ouzo cocktails, dessert, wines etc. Each member of the staff was so welcoming and kind throughout the evening as well. If you have not been yet or are visiting South Bend, Roselily is a revelation and should be on your list. read more

We had our annual company Christmas party here, and WOW WOW WOW! It was delicious dish one after another! My Salmon was cooked to PERFECTION! And let me just tell you, I'm a very picky critic of my dirty Martinis, I was a little skeptical because it wasn't my usual Vodka, but it was scrumptious! Beautiful setting! Bravo to the chefs, bartender and hosts! read more

So we went to celebrate a birthday, friends moving away, new jobs and all the things! There were 5 of us and decided to do the 5 course tasting. The service started out great but nothing special was done for any of the celebrations. The food was good but we left and we're hungry a few hours later. We loved the wine and the bites were great! But for what we paid just wish there would have been a little more of a wow factor! For South Bend this is fabulous! Would check out again but definitely will do the 8 course. read more

My significant other and I went for an anniversary dinner - it was magnificent! We had a six-course meal (which was really 8 with the amuse-bouche and the chocolates at the end), and I chose to add the $50 wine pairing. Husband had the Champagne Velvet beer. Every course was superb, but the mushroom pasta was our favorite. The atmosphere was cozy and luxurious; the wine pairings were perfect; the wait staff was knowledgeable and good at their jobs. We will definitely return, but maybe not for a year due to the price - it's a "splurge" for us. I can't wait for another occasion to spoil ourselves! read more

This was truly a one of a kind experience. The restaurant is a small and intimate setting, perfect for a date night, or celebration. The menu changes often, and everything we got was wonderful. We were debating between doing the five course tasting, and just ordering à la cart. I'm glad we ordered à la cart, because the portions are a little bit bigger, and ended up being about the same price for two. The service was beyond amazing. Every single person we talked to was extremely kind and gave us great recommendations. I genuinely cannot wait to go back! Thank you RoseLily team read more

My husband and I went to celebrate his birthday. We did the tasting menu. We ordered two appetizers, pâté and tartare. There wasn't enough bread to finish them so the server said she'd bring more. She brought 3 small pieces of bread. When we got the bill they charged us $3 for it. This is pretty tacky, especially since dinner was over $100 person. Food was good, service was fine, but ended with a bad taste in our mouth. Won't be back. I'll go to cafe Navarre read more

So close to perfection. We stopped in Roselily for dinner on our way back from South Haven to Indy. The fried green tomatoes we had as an appetizer were an absolute revelation of flavor. We both found the novelty of using nasturtium with them engaging. For my entree, I chose the chicken. It was a delightful fusion of Eastern flare with Western comfort food. My friend ordered the steak. It was cooked perfectly and the flavors--while more staid than my chicken--were equally delighting and 5-star. We then ordered all three desserts they had on offer. The coconut panna cotta was the surprising standout of the three as neither of us are huge coconut fans. But like all the food, the chef clearly has a flair for marrying unique flavor profiles in ways that entertain the tastebuds without overwhelming them. So why 3 stars? Real talk--I'm a coffee snob. We both ordered cups of coffee to go with our desserts. The coffee smelled fantastic. And it came to us piping hot, freshly brewed, and presented in quaint old china tea cups. Then I tasted it. I had already noticed that the water glasses during the meal were being filled with tap water that had gone through a water softener. Not a big deal for dinner table water. Unfortunately, the same water was used for the coffee! It tasted awful! I could tell these were expensive, nice beans. They had chocolatey notes and a nice roast to them. But water is the #1 ingredient in coffee. The water softener salt taste overwhelmed the entire cup. That would have only dropped us 1 star. However, I mentioned it to our server when she asked how everything was with the desserts. She seemed taken aback that I should think about the water in my premium cup of coffee. She blurted at me that it was just what they had, couldn't be helped, and rushed off. For such a perfect meal, I was really disappointed to have it ruined by one thing and then a bad response to friendly feedback ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

Restaurant is in an unusual location you'll drive right by it if you didn't k is it was there. Food was outstanding, staff was knowledgeable and friendly and the atmosphere was perfect for a quiet romantic dinner. Definitely looking forward to our next date night at Roselily! read more

This time, a birthday! We have been here historically for chef's tastings a few times ... but this time we decided to go off the menu and come for my husband's birthday. He was able to get two of the things that made him giggle from his chefs tasting previously and ended up getting two main courses (one for a starter and one for a main). It did not disappoint. The ricotta gnocchi is still amazing and the parsnip soup was a lovely new treat. Thanks for this gem in South Bend. read more

I tried Roselily for brunch while in South Bend visiting Notre Dame. I was immediately pleased to see the plethora of diverse art on the walls of the restaurant and the menu had plenty of options for folks who want breakfast foods or something geared towards lunch. I had the mango Bellini and shrimp and grits with a side of bacon. My partner ordered the chicken and waffles. Both meals were generous and we left feeling more than satisfied. The shrimp and grits were perfect and served with large gulf shrimp and a creamy roux with crumbled andouille sausage. Will definitely be visiting again the next time I'm in the area! read more

Our favorite brunch spot in South Bend! The quality of ingredients can't be beat. Everything is fresh and mostly locally sourced. Their vegan + vegetarian menus are impressive. My heart is always with with the traditional breakfast (eggs, bacon, toast, + potatoes) and this one hits all the high notes, especially with the bacon. This is bacon I dream about, THAT delicious! I love that they have a random assortment of coffee mugs. My toddler loves the pancakes and house made jam. The staff is always so helpful and accommodating. Pro tip: call ahead to make a reservation or put your name on the waitlist. Wait times can get rather lengthy otherwise on weekends. read more

I wanted to update my review from 3 to 4 because I did indeed have a good experience the first time and I do appreciate the chef/owner for reaching out and recognizing the issue I went through and remedying it. *****Overall roselily was good on my first experience (via takeout) but I came again just now and there were eggshells in my carnitas benedict and the masa was very overdone .. so hard to cut. This dish needs more flavoring, it was kinda bland. The first time I got the Duck Confit Poutine and it was delicious. Everyone also liked their food. read more

Been hearing very nice things about Roselilly for a while (one of only 5 AAA 4-Diamond restaurants in the whole state of Indiana), so decided to take advantage of the Restaurant Weeks special to try it out. Nice cozy, "intimate", dining room, quiet, somewhat eclectic decor. Alexander was our server, and he did an outstanding job, very friendly, helpful, very knowledgeable on the dishes and the wines, but every one of the staff was great, as they helped each other out. Serving 6+ courses takes a lot of work. 6 course tasting menu, photo of the menu attached, everything was wonderful. They served an amuse bouche in addition to the 6 courses on the menu, which was a white gazpacho, that was very good. All 6 courses were amazing. My wife had the wine pairings, and was quite pleased with those as well. I'm not into wines, so I had the drink special, which was a watermelon margarita, which I liked as well. My personal favorite was the Hamachi, but the Chou Farsi got a lot of votes from the family. I also loved the Mille Feuille as well. Overall, a very good introduction to Roselilly. Now we'll have to go back for the regular menu. Only down side, as with any fine dining experience, it is a little pricey, but it's worth what you paid for. read more

My favorite restaurant in the area, it's the perfect spot for a date night. They have amazing food. My hub and I get the multi course meals and have never been disappointed with anything set in front of us. My absolute favorite thing: they can do all the courses vegan. I have no idea how we got so lucky to have such well prepared, beautiful presented, perfectly balanced dishes in south bend. The wine selection is great. My only suggestion would be signature cocktails, but this will definitely be my go to spot for romantic dinners or any time I want to impress someone read more

Made an online reservation for myself and my daughter. She is under 21. There was no indication you had to be 21 for bar seating only if you wanted to participate in the tasting menu. Got there and they refused to seat us. Stared at their computer for a minute and said they couldn't figure anything out. read more

If you like to sit in the dark and when you can't read the menu and slightly elevate the switch to let more light in. To actually be able to read the menu the floor manager comes over and tells you literally " we let you read the menu " now we DIMM the lights" then it definitely is a perfect ambiance for you. Food looks great but does not taste as great as it looks and halibut is probably the thinnest piece served with broccolini for only $37 I have seen! Service was pleasant. read more

Great food! The meatballs alone warrant a return trip! The service was attentive but not intrusive. When my tables candle died, another was brought over to maintain the ambiance for the evening. read more

So happy to see Roselily grow into a bigger place with an ambience more fitting for its menu. It's not Au Cheval in Chicago, it's not Sean Brock's Husk or Joyland or Juicy Lucy's in MN please....it's this place with the best burger I have ever eaten (served medium). It's beefy and flavorful without being greasy. I have enjoyed everything I've tried at this place so please do not restrict yourself to just the burger. But atleast go try that. read more

What can I say?!?! Roselily did not disappoint. We had a delightful experience. The entire staff was exquisite! We met Chef Eammon Owner/ Operator. He is so talented and extremely creative the way he puts his dishes together and the presentation is just as amazing. We did the 8 course VEGAN tasting and boy were our tastebuds having a party. The food seemed like it would never stop coming! Each portion was very small and on sight I'm thinking this little bit of food is just going to tease me, but by the time you are done tasting everything you are truly satiated. I'm a dessert person and one the tastings was this strawberry granita with coconut sorbet and a hibiscus type syrup of some sort! I could've had 8 of those!! But here's the thing...... they change the pairing menu daily!!!!! If I'm not mistaken. That part is a bummer if you find something you really enjoy and want to come back for it. We were visiting from Los Angeles and our nephew brought us here and we were so happy he did. Everyone was so welcoming and made us feel right at home. The ambiance and the music vibe was so on point. Roselily owes us NOTHING!! We showed up and they showed up!! The staff even spoiled my husband by signing his menu. We just can't say enough about this gem! Great job and keep up the good work. We wish you INFINITE PEACE AND BLESSINGS ALWAYS in whatever you put your GOOD intentions to. May God Richly Bless You All!! read more

Came here for brunch and it was so good. First of all the zen cafe coffee --delicious! Blood orange mimosa was also good (a little on the too strong side for me. Not enough orange and too much of an alcohol taste. But I'm probably the only person w that complaint). Chicken and waffles and French toast also really good. Really reasonably priced food. Can't wait to try their other brunch and dinner options. read more
