Hamachi
Rahima J.

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!

Rose lily was a very delightful and unique experience. We did the 6 course meal and we were served a variety of different foods and flavors. The service staff was friendly and I appreciated how they helped you understand each dish and made sure you knew what you were eating. The inside of the restaurant is very romantic and dark with dim lit lighting. They were also very accommodating to dietary restrictions or concerns. Only giving it a 4 because I felt like I could've eaten a little more, portions are small, but overall it was a wonderful experience that I would recommend, especially for anniversaries or birthdays. The staff signed a card for us celebrating our anniversary which was a tasteful touch.

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.

Ambiance!

Everything was beautiful about the evening, quite fantastic upscale ambience with a great server and Sam and Rafael, drinks were really good. I had coffee Negro and old-fashioned wine is good. M For some reason my last review didn't post, so I'll tag along our new review for march 6.2026 Loved the ambiance, little bus today but it's Saturday! Jack our server was awesome made great recs for dinner, desert and wine! I tried a Spanish wine, Chocolate with mango sorbet as dessert (very interesting and tasty) and their chicken dish. Just authentic delicious food!!

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!

duck confit
Luna L.

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)

Steak veggies
Sydney L.

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!

Tattyanna K.

Highly recommend sitting at the bar and doing the tasting menu! 10/10!! Service was top tier!

Dody E.

Yeah this place doesn't just know food, it respects food at such a deep level that I feel unworthy to even write this review. Magnificent flavors. Such fastidious devotion to construction. Inviting dishes. Warm atmosphere. Clean, bright, powerful. Premier service. You must go. Top restaurant in South Bend.

Lily M.

Celebrated our anniversary at Roselily warm atmosphere, attentive staff, and delicious, expertly prepared dishes. The wine pairing was perfect. A true hidden gem in South Bend!

Lina L.

service was really friendly. we ordered the tasting menu, and they did a pretty good job of balancing the dishes and presenting them. it was pretty nice and quiet inside

Ricotta gnocchi
Adrianna H.

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.

Yum and more yum. Our son and daughter-in-law brought us to The Crooked Ewe for dinner and…read moreeverything was beyond delicious! My son and I had the smoked chicken sandwich, my daughter-in-law ordered the Bahn Mi and my husband ordered pastrami. Of course we all had to share and taste everything. All in all, everything was very tasty, including the fries cooked in beef tallow. The drinks were great and the wait staff beyond friendly and helpful. Thank you, Crooked Ewe!

We called Crooked Ewe, and they were kind enough to hold a table for us. As it turned out, the patio was perfect for a larger group on a Saturday evening. The atmosphere is laid-back and easygoing. Inside has that cozy, small-brewery feel, while the patio gives you a gorgeous view of the river. Our service was great - friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, we really enjoyed the food, although I thought some of the Asian-inspired dishes could use a little refinement. I ordered the bibimbap bowl with fried cauliflower, cucumbers and onions, shredded carrots and daikon, and kimchi fried rice. The cauliflower was easily the star here! Though the fried rice and other accompaniments could use a bit more flavor and texture. That said, the BBQ was A+. I added a side of brisket, and it was probably some of the best brisket I've ever had. It's a thicker cut and melts in your mouth. My husband and FIL also raved about the wings. One thing to note for families: there isn't a kids menu, but my son was perfectly happy with a cheeseburger and fries. All in all, Crooked Ewe was a great find for our group. We'd definitely come back, especially for those wings and brisket!

You drive up to the awning and a valet opens the gates for you to park. We had reservations. It was very crowded. I am told it's not typically that crowded. It was hard to hear it was so loud. Menu is large. Prices are higher. Be ready. I got the large chopped salad. It wasn't that large for $18. I changed out the dressing to ranch because I did not want the garlic salad dressing. Glad I did. The salad was ok. The salami was smokey it added to the veggies. But for the price it was small and disappointing. 2 people got the prime rib sandwich and it was pretty sloppy. It's better to eat with a knife and fork. I was told it was good. The sweet potato fries have cayenne pepper on them. The chopped salad with tofu was also disappointing. The tofu had a weird bbq type sauce. The server was nice and she was fine. The atmosphere is more high scale. Just disappointed in the taste of the food and portion to cost. Cool experience being on campus but you're paying for it.

August 13, 2026 So glad my wife and I chose this local place…read moreto eat dinner in South Bend. It was very good food prepared fresh. The server was personable and very helpful. We got there around 5:00 PM while things were just getting busy. It had a nice vibe to it. You could tell people enjoy coming here. I started off the order with an item off their monthly menu specials. The muffuletta pizza. Very nice with a great flavor. My wife loved every bite of her braised beef sliders and cole slaw. We also have this obsession with ordering Brussels sprouts when we go out and they're available. I will give the sprouts 3 out of 5 because they had way too much balsamic vinegar on them. This rating doesn't bring my overall rating down because it's likely they are very good any other time. As if all that weren't enough to eat, we ordered the 8" Cinnamon Streusel pizza with vanilla bean ice cream off their seasonal monthly menu. Oh boy was that good!! If given the opportunity to come back to South Bend, this will be my go to place. PS... I'm not a beer drinker, but it seems they have lots of craft beer on tap. It's considered a gastropub. There's plenty of seating inside and outside. Some outside seating is covered and nice of it raining but still warm out. There is a patio area that's quite large. It looks like and has a feel of a biergarten.

I had not been back to The Lauber in a while when visiting South Bend, so I went twice this time!…read moreOn Friday, my friend and I stopped in for a happy hour drink as I remember they made a fantastic Expresso Martini, complete with three coffee beans floating on top! It was just as good as the last time I was here. On Saturday, I ordered takeout for us since I was staying in the downtown area. I ordered the Power Salad (full order to share), and it was a nice mixture of arugula, spinach, quinoa, dried blueberries, toasted almonds, goat cheese, grape tomatoes and red onion, with green goddess dressing on the side. It was a plentiful salad and very tasty. I would definitely order this salad again! For dinner, I had the Rigatoni Chicken Pasta, which was advertised as their house specialty. The rigatoni noodles were accompanied with seasoned chicken and a nicely spiced mushroom cream sauce, which was divine. I wish there was more chicken (at least in my dish) as it was minimal at best. My friend ordered the Tropic Burger, medium well, with beer battered fries. The burger was topped with pulled pork and bacon with a tasty jalapeno sauce she just loved. The burger was so big she even had half of it for the next day. Overall, another great experience at The Lauber. Looking forward to my next visit when I get to South Bend.
