    We have never had a bad meal at the South Bend, Kankakee Grill. Valentine's day did not disappoint! Everyone in our group of 4, enjoyed the Valentine's special starring a filet mignon and a salmon cake. Started with a side salad and ended with a yummy chocolate dessert. The strawberry chocolate martini was also enjoyed.

    Chris in Mishawaka/Granger, IN, was truly remarkable and surpassed our previous visits. From the moment we made our reservation, the staff went above and beyond to address our concerns about seating—since I mistakenly booked a booth in the bar. They quickly accommodated our request to move us to the dining area, which we greatly appreciated. The host and our waiter were fantastic, and the food exceeded our expectations. The only minor hiccup was the lighting, which flickered from low to high beams towards the end of our meal. Despite this, everything else was exceptional! We can't wait to return for another wonderful dining experience.
