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.

    Why do you even need ask? The survey states "outstanding". I concur. From the elegantly set table; the friendly-but not smothering- wait staff; to the beautiful presentation of the entrees, and then of course, the unmatched flavor combinations; whew: outstanding.

    Food was amazing, while our server was quite busy with other tables he still took the time to make sure everything at our table was great. Lively atmosphere, a little loud for my taste, but it did add a sort of vigor and energy to the house.

    For a nice night out in The Bend, you cannot beat LaSalle Grill, we have other very good restaurants, but LaSalle just feels a little more special, a little cozier, with unbeatable cocktails etc...if you go soon have the Maracuya Cocktail...the pairing of a half glass of wine with desserts was perfect

    An exceptional fine dining experience in South Bend, IN awaits at the LaSalle Grill! The historic building, a former hotel built in 1852, has been converted into a beautiful, elegant restaurant on the first floor & a trendy bar & restaurant on the third floor. The crowd tonight was dressed in everything from special occasion to jeans. From the minute we entered LaSalle Grill, the hostess & our server were genuinely friendly and attentive and the manager greeted us, too. The star of the show is the food! Varied entrees and many favorites with delicious sides all cooked to perfection. Save room for the desserts.

    LaSalle GrillResponded on April 29, 2023Thank you for your review! We pride ourselves on being a local gem and are happy you felt our hospitality shine. We hope to see you again soon!

    The quality of this food and service is outstanding. The appetizer we had, scallops, was delicious and unique. We also had cocktails that were fantastic. The main course… my husband had the filet and I had a fish with coconut rice. I highly recommend! And even with all that, we got the creme brûlée. It was a great finish. Thank you as always.

    We expected more for the price. The service was very slow, the salad was wilted, the roasted potatoes with the filet seemed to be left over, although the filet was good and cooked perfectly. The sauce/gravy with the lamb chops was distasteful and ruined the flavor of the meat. It was described as "beet puree" but was kind of a grayish brown color and tasted horrible. The dessert was good. The wine was overpriced. Overall, this was a disappointing experience. We have had much better meals at La Salle Grill in the past. Not sure what happened. It was not crowded. Maybe they were short-staffed. Will think twice before going again.

    LaSalle GrillResponded on April 29, 2023Sara, I am sorry to hear your recent experience didn't compare to previous ones. I'd like to personally invite you back as my guest. Please contact me at laurel@lasallegrill if you would like to take me up on my offer to show you the experience we pride ourselves on. Thank you for your consideration. -Laurel Marnocha, owner

    Everything was just average. We asked for medium rare filet, but it came out closer to medium well done. Service was quite slow. I’m spoiled living in a city with a ton of options, this place just wasn’t up to the standard of a nice steakhouse experience.

Our server, Bradley, was just great! She was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable! The food was delicious-my husband had the pork chop and I had the chicken. We had such a nice evening and might have to travel back to South Bend to dine there again!

    Anniversary dinner overall great experience. They took some extra effort to change our menu to recognize our anniversary as well as provide a staff signed card. All aspects were to a high standard. Price reflective of food quality always could be a little more affordable but we were fully prepared for cost. The quality and presentation was great. Would definitely come again.
