Our first visit was amazing! Chef Vince and his kitchen staff provided a culinary masterpiece including the succulent venison medallions, delicious filet, airline chicken and filet of sole. Robin, our server, added the perfect foil for our dinner party. And, last, but not least, the drinks and desserts were delightful. Thank you for making our first visit so enjoyable.

It was finally our first visit last week- after a year of snooping the daily menu online- and we will be back!
Perfect lamb chops and the most tender filet of our lives. Attentive service in a beautiful and cozy atmosphere. A very impressive wine selection. Hoping we get some fun seafood on the roster for next time!

10/10 100 % recommend. Hands down one of my favorite restaurants. The staff always go above and beyond. The chef is personably and speaks with customers. The menu changes daily and always has an assortment of fresh, local offerings. The ambiance is calm and modern. There was a local guitarist playing music quietly in the corner. The wait staff know anything you could possibly ask about the menu. One of my favorite things is that the menu is concious of dietary trends such as vegetarian options. Care went into every part of the design of this restaurant and it shows. There are even some local gifts that can be bought at the hostess station. I’ve been multiple times and I have never been let down. No matter what I am always able to find something I enjoy. Reservations are recommended.

The food was delicious! I feel the price is on par with similar restaurant set ups. Unfortunately the parking is not ideal. Street parking next to boarded up houses and large trash piles. It is a bit cramped inside as I was bumped multiple times through out dinner by employees and patrons. The real nail in the coffin comes in the form of the 26% added gratuity. My 150 dollar bill jumped over 60 dollars due to the added tip and mysterious “house” charge. While our waitress was polite, gratuity should be decided by service and I dont feel like 26 percent was appropriate. All in all we won’t be returning but I do appreciate the culinary workmanship.

Great atmosphere. Loved the building, decor, ambiance, and general vibe but poor parking situation.
Once sat, we waited 17 mins to be greeted. Drinks took a bit too long to come out as well. Our server was VERY nice and did a great job taking our orders, but wasn’t very timely.
My fiancé ordered a wine to pair with her steak and both our plates were almost empty by the time the order was even put in.
Finally, the soup was amazing, as was our app and the wine selection, but while the filets were tender and juicy, they were thin, fatty, and even a bit under-seasoned. For a $54 filet I was very disappointed. I’ve had better cuts for $30.
Two star for food is low. Would say 2.5 is much fairer, but not an option.
Overall it was a good experience. There’s just some room for improvement given the price.

No.6 Scratch Kitchen in South Bend stands out as a charming historic site that offers high-quality dining with a personal touch. During our visit, we opted for a lighter fare, sharing some appetizers and ordering beverages, and were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional quality of the food.
One of the highlights of our experience was the staff’s willingness and ability to customize a mocktail for my companion. This bespoke drink was not only a delightful surprise but also a testament to the restaurant’s dedication to customer satisfaction and creativity.
The menu at No.6 Scratch Kitchen changes daily, reflecting the kitchen’s commitment to freshness and innovation. Each dish is made from scratch and to order, which ensures that every meal is crafted with care and attention to detail. While this approach to dining does reflect in the pricing, it’s a worthwhile consideration for those looking for a unique and high-quality meal experience.
Although we only stopped in for snacks and refreshments, the quality of the offerings has us eagerly anticipating a return visit for a full meal. The possibility of a brunch menu in the future adds another exciting reason to revisit.

It was Latin Night, and the menu was really inspired! The chef came over to talk us through the options and told us the inspirations for each dish. The crab cakes were incredible- mo fillers and lots of flavor. We also had the chips and guac which was super fresh-though a few more chips would’ve helped.
We also had the skirt steak w chimichurri sauce, asparagus, and rice. The steak could have used a little bit more seasoning but the chimichurri sauce was delicious.
My drink was DELICIOUS as well- a take on a margarita w cucumber and spice.
Would highly recommend !

Was kind of a let down… heard great things about it and had high hopes. We arrived as one of the first guests and it took quite some time for our waitress to get our drink order, probably a solid 10 mins. The menu was confusing, they had things listed and it didn’t explain what they were. For example, it just said Kansas City. Which was apparently a steak. We ended up moving to the bar and got great service from the chef. She gave us a delicious app and some great history about the building.. everything on the dinner menu had mash potatoes and a “seasonal veggies” which was all broccoli. It was very good but there was no variety. I felt it was a little chaotic, my husband ordered a beer (which was amazing) but went to order another and there wasn’t any in stock in the bar so one of the kind ladies had to go to the basement, we tried to order a different to save her the trip but that’s was out too. We felt that for the price, we were eating at an over priced chilis. All in all we were let down.

My company held a private event at No.6 Scratch Kitchen and it was amazing! The atmosphere was fun and inviting. They had both an outdoor space and an indoor space, which was easy to go between so we could have drinks and mingle outside, then go inside for our meal. The Chef had several options for our party to choose from and personally came and asked how our meals were after eating. They also have a variety of drink options, and all were fabulous. We were very impressed and plan to go back! I highly recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to go again sometime soon!

My husband and I LOVED this place! Such a small and lovely restaurant. The food was wonderful, we tried drinks, appetizers and entrees. All were 10/10 and the portions were fairly sized for the price. I believe the prices are fair for the service, portions and quality you are getting. Definitely coming back.
