LaSalle Grill, a modern American Bistro featuring steaks and chops cooked over a live hardwood fire, is born of the dream of experienced restaurateur Mark McDonnell. Like the restaurant’s namesake, noted French explorer, Robert de LaSalle, McDonnell set out to explore the uncharted waters of downtown South Bend, Indiana. In April of 1991, McDonnell opened a lively and exciting restaurant unlike any other in the area - LaSalle Grill.

LaSalle Grill is committed to providing guests with excellent service, great atmosphere, an award-winning wine list and, most importantly, delicious cuisine that is artfully and dramatically presented.

The Grill has been presented with the coveted AAA Four Diamond Award every year since 1996.

Set out to explore the art of fine dining usually found only in major metropolitan cities, visit LaSalle Grill.

    Food was excellent. The only downer was they are now charging $9 for what they refer to as a bread plate. I had the Amish chicken and there was more than enough to fill most anyone.

    Food was excellent. My Wife had sea bass. I had a strip steak. Both were excellent. I had clam chowder and my Wife had a small Caesar salad. Both were excellent. The service was outstanding. The manager came by to ask if he could get anything. Our waitress was terrific.

    Our wait staff was very attentive and she was well versed in the menu and options. She guided us through the meal perfectly and helped us make good choices! Wedge salad yummy, the Amish chicken was moist and well prepared and the mashed potatoes were so tasty ! All steaks were perfectly prepared but perhaps too many tobacco onions on top. The desserts were also a delight ant the bourbon bread pudding was amazing!❤️. Only regret is I can’t remember the name of waitress and she was excellent !

    The food was very good. Unfortunately our guests meat order was mixed up. The New York strip was suppose to be medium rare and it came medium well. The filet was to be medium but came out rare. The couple switched steaks - they did not report the problem. Also, the carrots were a little too aldante. Others had steaks and pork chops which were excellent. Though very busy and loud because of a performance at the local theatre, service was superb.

    This was our first time going to Lasalle grill and what a great experience it was. The LaSalle Grill is right around the corner from the Morris Theater where we were going to see a show. We were greeted immediately with a smile and promptly seated. Our waitress was excellent throughout the entire visit. We ordered a couple cocktails and they were mixed perfectly. The wedge salad with the warm Gorgonzola dressing is fantastic. We both ordered the golden Angus New York strip steaks from Lintz beef farms and as usual the meat was delicious and cooked to perfection. We split a cheesecake for dessert as well. All the food was above any expectation that we had and we couldn’t have asked for better service. The environment was fun and the whole staff had a smile on their face and in my opinion that made the experience that much more enjoyable.

    Are you bored with the different menu same old food scenario? Look no further. The LaSalle Grill menu offers great variety in how the fish, pork, steak were all prepared. Excellent selection of wines. Well trained staff in pairing food and wines. Staff pays attention to the fine details from A-Z. Look forward to returning to the LaSalle Grill when in South Bend again soon.

Just steps from the Morris Performing Arts Center and Ground Zero for downtown South Bend events and attractions. Perfect spot with personable, knowledgeable servers and a TALENTED kitchen.

    We were very disappointed with our experience . We had a 5:00 o’clock reservation which should have been enough time for a 7:00 show . We ordered fairly quickly and at 6:10 we inquired about our main course and the waitress was very apologetic and stated the kitchen was running behind and assured us the food would be out shortly and dessert would be free because of the delay . The main courses took 15-20 minutes to be served and in the mean while my husband talked to a manager who was not apologetic and actually rude who also said the food would be out shortly . When the meal came we asked for our check , had to rush to finish to make our show at 7 and couldn’t appreciate the dessert offer and no discount was given on the check .. sadly the food was good but this experience especially for the cost caused me to write this review . All four of us will not return

    Our husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary at Lasalle Grill and we could not have picked a better restaurant. The staff went above and beyond to make our dinner special from the monogrammed menus to the wonderful table to the personal visit from the manager. Our waitress was amazing, and the food was outstanding. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting an outstanding meal and great service.

    My husband and I went there for our anniversary. They do ask why you are making the reservation but the extra little touches they did to make the night special really set it over the top. Special menu printed, every person that worked there that dropped off something at our table wished us well wishes, a card signed by the whole crew, and a special happy anniversary plate.

    It had been several years since my last experience with this fine dining establishment. Prime rib was being offered this particular weekend, so I made a reservation. I found the $55 price to be steep but acceptable. The meat, however, was not tender as I had expected. My guest enjoyed his lamb entree, although I am confident he left hungry. The portion was not very large. I was rather disappointed by the experience which I had been awaiting with great anticipation.

    LaSalle Grill continues to be the premier restaurant in the South Bend area. The dishes we ate ranged from very good to superb. We especially enjoyed the Bobotie as an appetizer, and the Pacific Ono Wahoo as a main course--both were truly a delight.
