Best Seasonal Restaurants in South Bend

Decided to go out for Christmas dinner this year and had a later reservation. They did not disappoint. You could order off the menu or the special Christmas menu. We ordered the Christmas menu. Salad, prime rib and Dessert. Portions were plentiful. Great deal for the preset price. We both had tons of leftovers. It was just me and my husband and while the place was very busy and lively, we were still able to have a nice conversation. Clark, I forget his title, manager or something came over to check on us. It’s a pleasure to see him. We really enjoy coming here, always treated very well. And always leaving with a leftover bag.

Rohrs is always a delight. Christmas and we dis not want to cook. We had prime rib that was phenomenal! Such a treasure to eat there.

We ate at Rocky River Tap and Table on Christmas Eve. My dad enjoyed the bison meatloaf and I had the bison burger. The server, Q, was wonderful and the food was delicious. Such a nice ambiance as well. We’ll be back!

Our family of vegetarians/vegans enjoyed a Christmas Eve early 4pm dinner upstairs overlooking the street---such a great table! Although there is usually only one veg/vegan main option offered, the veg sides we ordered as one meal were deliciously-seasoned, perfectly-cooked and yummy (brussels sprouts, cauliflower and french fries). The vegan offering on the main menu of shitake and wild rice was unique and possibly the best vegan entree I have ever had at Cafe Navarre. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful with menu options we could eat and suggesting adjustments chef could make, and attentive at a perfect level. Wines were great; my vodka cocktail was tasty but seemed a little light on the vodka. A very pleasant experience as always at Cafe Navarre :)

Great game day experience. Highly suggest reservations if Notre dame is playing. Good service and ambiance.
