    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.

    The food was good our server was not knowledgeable about drinks that were on the special main meal took a long time it was our anniversary and the hostess said something but nothing else it was just ok. We still left her a decent tip for nothing special.

    They couldn’t seat us for a table of 8. So we had 2 tables of 4. Only needed a table for 6. Asked to be seated near each other and they said no and put us on opposite sides of the restaurant. Had 3 tables near us and they said no couldn’t seat our spouses at those tables because they were for large parties. Emma Said they always try to accommodate people. As we sat at our table of 4 they sat a party of 4 at both tables near us and then sat a party of 2 at the six top table. Manager Ashley came out again and said that they don’t try to accommodate anyone anymore. Then when she had no excuses for her actions accused us of saying that the manager Emma was f’in selfish. That was never said and the body language of Ashley made it seem that she was not telling the truth. Hostesses were very rude also. Other than that Amanda was very sweet and apologized over and over for happened. Food was good also.
