Lasalle Grill — Restaurant in South Bend

I have Celiac Disease and went to LaSalle Grill with a group of friends that included someone with a dairy allergy. The experience was quite unnerving, and I have very low confidence in LaSalle Grill's ability to cater to individual needs.

The website and staff say that there are many gluten-free options, and upon arrival, the server asked whether anyone had food allergies. We told him, and he helped us identify safe dishes.

We ordered several appetizers. Though I had specifically requested a gluten-free dish with the bread on the side for my wife to eat, the kitchen produced one with bread on the plate up against the gluten-free food, and so the waiter had another made.

Then, we ordered main dishes. My wife and I ordered a dish that included farro, a type of wheat. I did not recognize the name, but had asked the waiter if the dish could be made gluten-free because I knew there could be gluten ingredients that I didn't know about. The waiter said yes, and of course relayed that things needed to be gluten-free to the kitchen. The dish was brought including farro. I didn't recognize what it was, but with one bite, suspected it might be wheat. I only swallowed a little bit, fortunately, and washed my mouth out in the restroom. The waiter apologized and brought me a different dish. On the one hand, I feel a little responsible because I didn't know what farro was. On the other hand, Celiacs and people with allergies typically ask if a dish is safe knowing that there can be ingredients that we don't know about, and this is what I did. Fortunately, the replacement dish and original were free of charge.

Then, when we had sorbet for dessert, it was brought in a flour-based cone, which wasn't identified on the menu. I asked whether the cone contained flour; the waiter said he wasn't sure, but another staff person nearby overheard and said that yes it did (and also, unhelpfully, that it was delicious). The waiter quickly took the dish back, I watched my friends eat dessert, and after a few minutes got a new one, with no cone.

The food was delicious. The service was lovely. But for my wife and I to spend $80 (even with the entrees that were refunded) and for me to be glutened and to have my food repeatedly delayed was really unacceptable, especially since so many other restaurants are so much more...

I used to come here for special occasions, with special people, or for family celebrations several times yearly! But then I asked myself, "Why?"

I picked this restaurant for my birthday dinner and was not disappointed! I went for their November wine pairing dinner and it was truly an experience.

First, I really have to give a shout out to the staff. They are SO attentive and knowledgeable, they seriously made the night. We were serviced by no less than 3 people, all who stopped to chat for a little bit, and who constantly asked if we needed anything.

The food itself was, of course, delightful. We had a 5 course dinner with wine pairings for $115. Based on the quality of food, wine, and service, I would say this is a fair price. The portion sizes, though they look small, are deceivingly filling. I could not finish most of my 4th and 5th courses (yes even dessert!). Every time we were served meat, especially the fish, it was cooked perfectly! I was delighted by dishes I thought I wouldn't like that ended up being my favorite.

The 2nd course was a foie gras galette and it was the star of the show! The foie gras was a tiny amount on top of the galette which was perfect to add richness to the galette. The galette itself was expertly made, it melted like butter in my mouth. It was my first time having foie gras and I was a little put off by it on the menu but this ended up being my favorite dish.

The wines paired with this dinner were also very good. The last one, a honeyed Gewurztraminer was my favorite! However, all the wines were good quality and deserved to be on the table with the food. Overall, I had a great dinner here. With tip and for two people our bill ended up being about $300 but you get what you pay for. We even had a few leftovers to bring. We never felt rushed, our food was delicious, the wait staff were attentive, our glasses were never empty, and the drinks were high quality. I will absolutely be...
