Restaurants near Best Western Plus Mishawaka Inn

Food and drinks were amazing. Atmosphere was gorgeous.

We've lived in the South Bend area for nearly 4 years, and for that time have been hearing wonderful things about Cafe Navarre but never made the opportunity to go there. We dine in very nice restaurants at least once per month, and my wife and I both have restaurant and culinary histories, so we do delight in great food, service, and atmosphere. Our first visit to Cafe Navarre for our anniversary last evening was slightly disappointing. The ambiance was lacking, but the food quality and service were very good. Perhaps the tone was set by the bar tender with clearly minimal personality all but ignoring us, being given a dirty water glass, and then a dirty fork in our place setting. But from there, things went uphill. Our main server was fabulous, and the quality of the steak and filet and the small plates was outstanding. Maybe the disappointments were due to it being a Monday night. We'll try again sometime soon. (But will continue to watch for clean glasses and silverware), and likely avoid the bar if the same bartender is there.

You will not be disappointed by choosing and dining at Ruth’s. Everything about it is consistently excellent and reliable. I have dined at Ruth’s in numerous cities and in this location multiple times. I have never had a meal or a dish that was not extraordinary. The entire staff exemplifies extraordinary service.

The food here was excellent. Each dish was one of the best of its type. We enjoyed the baked Brie, Steak Tartare, French Onion soup, and the Duck Breast. While each was memorable, I especially recommend the soup. The chef obviously took extra time and used better ingredients when making it.

Papa Vino’s is always an experience. Love the casual atmosphere, the unusual drinks, and the excellent food. Serving staff is always very attentive.
