Went here for a valentine’s day date night and it’s the perfect cozy spot with a romantic setup/ambiance. The service was absolutely wonderful! Felt very welcomed and the chef even came over to check in on how our night was going and how the food was. Everyone was super friendly. Not to mention, the food was so delicious! Had an awesome experience, will absolutely be back.

Overall, my experience was great. I rated my food an 7 due to my steak being very chewy. My friend ordered the same dish and his steak was chewy as well. Other than that, the food was excellent. My brother and daughter said there food was outstanding.

Thought the place would be a little more formal, The booking on line went very smoothly the food was great,but a little pricey. Could not have had better service from our waitress. Everyone was very kind & understanding when I became ill and had to have our order to go at the last minute, Would reccomend No.6 to anyone. We are going back for their "PORK CHOPS" soon.

No.6 is a fabulous new restaurant to hit the South Bend food scene. The food, setting and people are fantastic. You can really tell that everyone loves what they do here! With a daily changing menu, you could eat here every night and always be tempted with something new. The chef really knows how to blend flavors and prepare meats extremely well. Run, don’t walk to No. 6!

We had a Delicious Breakfast Sunday, Chocolate French toast with coconut. It tasted like an Almond Joy bar, taste buds were happy. The coffee and champagne mimosas were scrumptious.

We live a block away from No. 6, a beautifully restored firehouse restaurant. We popped in for an inaugural visit as they were opening the doors on their first day. The food and ambiance are both amazing. Despite the normal first day difficulties, we had a great time and enjoyed meeting the friendly staff as well as owner Amanda's mom, who greeted us at the door. We are a vegetarian family, and we were delighted with the Cauliflower Burger, possibly the best best veggie burger we have ever had. No fake meat here....truly delicious. We look forward to many more dinners and brunches at No. 6 and hope they will always offer such yummy vegetarian options! We already have reservations for our next two visits :) We are thrilled to have this place in our neighborhood!

Our dinner guests loved the location and food. It was their first time at #6 and they stated they would be back. Thanks to all the staff for working so hard. I love my community and I like options for the locals and our guests to the community.

Great place. Greta food. Love it. We will go back and soon. As you try to step up your service, however, do NOT open my bottle of wine before I see it. (Your bartender or someone else did). Open my bottle of wine only in front of me and at my table. This will help to upscale your service.

Overall great experience. Food was wonderful except for appetizer Brussels sprouts needed just a little more cooking, they were so tough we didn’t eat them just tasted a few. The parking lot was full when we arrived for our reservation at 5:30 yet there was only one guest seated before us… Loved the ambiance and all servers, bartender and chef were wonderful, we will definitely return soon.

Welcome to the neighborhood. We love how you've treated the space. Food was delicious. A couple suggestions/observations: it would have been helpful to get some small dishes with our Shareables; when the dining room fills up it is noisy, we had trouble hearing our friends at the table. Not sure what can be done to mitigate that, and maybe it is more an issue for seniors. Wishing you great success.

The restaurant is beautiful. I look forward to a winter dinner there, to watch the snow fall outside. And the chairs are comfortable. But it's loud in there!
The cauliflower burger was surprising, and delicious. The apple pie with homemade ice cream was a waste of money and calories. I think it was nuked at the last minute, and was way too hot. The cinnamon ice cream didn't seem like real ice cream, but that may be because it was so melted over the too-hot apples.
The staff all were friendly and attentive and efficient. We'll be back.

If you want really fresh delicious food and you don’t care about price check this place out. We had a positive experience but I can’t get over how pricey it was. It came out almost $60 per person. Also, did not like their signature drinks. All martinis had Prosecco in them. Awful. Drinks were not even 4oz and were $9-10. They had an extensive beer list but do to shipping they were out of many. Outside seating is very pleasant as was inside. The wait staff made it a fun evening.

Love your place overall for sure & will return.
My pot pie could have been served hotter, it was mildly warm. Suggestion for it: maybe some carrots + ??? Just peas and chicken was ok but. Biscuit dominated by its thickness.
My wife's gumbo was good but only lukewarm.
Thanks for asking. See you again in a few weeks.

I loved the decor but found the food uninspiring. Great drinks!

The restaurant opened on June 9 and my wife and I visited on June 10. This is a brand new location, so we certainly expected a few rough spots. I will start with the positives. The ambiance is excellent -- beautiful building exterior and interior and perhaps the nicest outdoor dining area in South Bend. The food was quite good overall, but I hope that it will improve as the owners, cooks, wait staff get more acquainted with the facilities and the clientele. Cocktails were decent, but need work. My prickly pear mojito did not taste much like a mojito (no rum flavor at all) and had almost no fresh mint, but it was refreshing oh a hot evening. Salad was excellent, appetizer (Brussels Sprouts with bacon) very yummy, taco trío was good (though pork taco was very dry), and Pork pot roast was just OK. Service was really poor -- just completely disorganized and slow. We waited about 25 minutes for our drink and, despite asking many times, did not even see a dinner menu until 30 minutes after sitting down (the restaurant was not particularly busy). Salad, appetizers and one of the dinner plate came out all at once (while we were still enjoying our cocktails), second dinner came several minutes later. In general the wait staff seemed very inexperienced and confused. This is the main issue that will have to be sorted out in the near future or this restaurant, which clearly has amazing potential, will have a hard time succeeding in the South Bend market. Prices would be reasonable if the service were outstanding, but we left feeling a bit disappointed with what we got for $110. Will come back in several weeks to see how things are going. If problems continue for too long I don't think we will go often.
