    The food was exceptionally good but the size of the portions were ridiculously small. The pork tenderloin dinner was at best the size of an appetizer. I travel to South Bend three or four times a year and always eat at club Navarre. The mushroom soup is out of this world but again I thought the size of the bowl was reduced from the last time I was there. Next time I am in town, I will definitely go someplace else. The food probably won’t be as good, but at least I won’t walk out of a nice restaurant hungry

    This place is amazing in every aspect. The service is awesome and they were answering any questions I had with enthusiasm and obvious knowledge of the products. The food is, well, ridiculous. Not gonna put any more information on that. Get in there and see for yourself. They put us in a nice room for my wife's birthday and left her a card at our table signed by the entire staff. Cocktails are on point. Definitely an awesome establishment right in the middle of downtown

    The host sat us in a room upstairs that had large table already seated with loud children. This group had just completed ordering so they were obviously going to be there a while. The children were not well behaved - yelling, throwing toys, and running around. We felt badly for the wait staff as their work was impacted. The adults did little to address the behavior and of course the staff could not ask them show some respect for the other dinners. My complaint is the group with loud from the start of their seating and no other diners should have been seated in the room. This would of impacted 4 tables of 2-4 each which is hard to make up for on a busy night, but I would have been willing to wait for a quiet table

    Great evening at Cafe Navarre on a Sunday for 3 of us. The gnocchi was incredible and the service was impeccable. We will be back next time we visit South Bend!
