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

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!

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.

Best breakfast in South Bend. Coffee is great and cup never goes empty. Food is worth the price.

We had a lovely dinner here. Two in our party were non-vegetarians and they loved it! I will come back the next time I'm in The Bend.

After reading these reviews of this restaurant as we were staying for two days for the AC/DC…read moreconcert I was apprehensive but I am so glad I followed my gut to form my own opinion! We ate dinner here twice and snacks after the game and nothing was disappointing. First before the concert we had nachos and they were pretty good for a bar nacho only thing I said that I'd change is more homemade chips but that's just me being picky lol and they satisfied two hungry people! Now the real review is after the concert we had the chicken tender basket with fries and the fried green beans and they were so good. The chicken was tender and hand breaded and still juicy and I am so picky about my chicken! It was mouth watering! The next day we did dinner again bc nothing else sounded good! Once again without fail it was good! I got the chicken again because I am a creature of habit! My husband got the black and bleu burger and fries and we were not disappointed! The staff the first night even being Crammed and busy with the concert traffic were friendly and as fast as they could be! Also a great crowd for a busy night if you like a crowd! Food came out fast as well! Same as the second night! If we're ever in South bend we would eat here again and again! Highly recommend!

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 were visiting South Bend for a Notre Dame home game, and as you can imagine, finding a place to…read moreeat for a group of 8 after the game can be a struggle! 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!
