LaSalle Grill, a modern American Bistro featuring steaks and chops and seafood 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. LaSalle Grill has set the standard for fine dining in South Bend since 1991

LaSalle Grill is committed to providing guests with unrivaled hospitality and 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. The wine list is also exceptional with many bottles priced under $75.00. The list has also won the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence sine 2023.

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

As always, La Salle delivered. We came for anniversary and they had a couple of new dishes that were wonderful most notably, the tuna pokey appetizer truly outstanding… Another huge indicator of a successful restaurant is its staff and TC was our waiter. He was attentive, professional, engaging, their simply nothing that I could criticize. All in all a wonderful dinner .

For the last decade I have rated the LaSalle Grill as South Bend's top restaurant. But last night was a disaster. My wife and I made reservations in response to its announcement of a special prime rib weekend. We made reservations for 7:00, arrived on time, and ordered the prime rib, only to be told that, because of a high number of walk-in guests, they were out of prime rib. Other than lame apologies, we were offered nothing to mitigate the disaster. So, we left. We may or may not return in the future. We were more disappointed by the management's response to the situation than the fact that they had not anticipated the response to their prime rib special.
LaSalle GrillResponded on March 5, 2025
John, I apologize the offers by our team were not to your satisfaction. Thank you for giving us another chance to serve our prime rib to you tonight! We look forward to seeing you and hope we can turn your disappointment into a 5 star review!
