I waltzed in on a weekday afternoon and it was pretty dead, but I was greeted and my food came out quickly. The maque choux was to die for. The banh mi chicken was less exciting, but still good enough to entice me to try it again. Wish I was able to order a cocktail on that trip, as the menu looked intriguing.

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.

From a cool space to the welcoming vibe, The Lauber gets it right. I love the variety of seating areas for parties of all sizes and the overall comfortable atmosphere.

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.

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!

What an amazing dining experience…read more Every once in a while you find a special place that you'll never forget, for me No.6 is one such place. Let's start with the ambiance, it's very tasteful, give the ferm that it's trendy without being pretentious. The staff are amazing; Jay was an amazing and knowledgeable server, guiding me through the menu and specials for the day. He teamed up well with Robin. Together they ensure patrons leave satiated and satisfied. I started with a pre-dinner cocktail trying the amazing Iberian Cascade (white port, soda water, orange bitters and grapefruit and orange zest). It was sweet but refreshing. I next moved on to their cucumber martini which was DELISH and hit the spot for me. For my dinner I ordered Elk Medallions, medium rare. Cooked perfectly to temperature, tender very flavorful with a pear, brutal and caramelized reduction. It was paired with roasted potatoes and asparagus. It was heaven on a platter. I absolutely love red blends and they had a French red blend L'Agnotique Rouge which the subtle sweetness brought out more flavor in the elk meat. A meal this good would not be complete without dessert and I chose to enjoy a triple chocolate macadamia brownie. OMG BLISS! After I was finished the amazing chef came out apologized for a slight faux pas on the menu and asked how I enjoyed the meal. I hope the smile on my face told have her the answer. I would drive at least 100 miles out of my way to dine here again. This restaurant is a can't miss with a stellar reputation. I've asked several locals and the consensus was consistent that this restaurant is well regarded. Thank you for a most memorable dining experience.

Once you're inside it's a much nicer atmosphere and I always feel welcomed in. The dining room is dimly lit with fun artwork about. The polite staff is always enjoyable to chat with as they welcome you in and begin the experience. I like doing the multi course tasting Menu's and find I tend to like everything, but end up trying All kinds of things I otherwise would not have ordered. The wine pairings are thoughtful and delicious plus you're given a story of the history and origins of your grapes as your glass is filled. The experience is fun, delicious, and makes for a great date spot. Don't steal my table, but do go to roselilly. It's one of, if not the best restaurant in South Bend.
