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 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.

First time there after the show at the Morris with the South bend philharmonic. None of us were disappointed. This service was great. We had Miranda as our server and she was spot on. We plan on making this a tradition. Great night.

Our Server Miranda provided superb seamless service - I totally enjoyed the duck but my husband was disappointed in the quality of his NY strip steak - he found pieces of gristle in it and he said his potatoes were dry and not warm - he also made a comment that the restaurant could use some updating, noting that the bar area also looked like it needed attention. La Salle Grille has always been our choice for our very special occasions - in fact our 25th coincided with your anniversary date! The seat by the window made me feel cozy on my birthday! La Salle Grille made me feel special.
