We went to Celebrate My Fiancée’s Birthday. Everything was better than expected. Scott, did an exceptional job waiting on us.

Our server, Scott, was very helpful in explaining the menu to us since it was our first visit. We shared all the plates we ordered. The chicken bao was crispy, delicious and topped with pickled cucumbers and peppers. The crab cakes had great flavor. The New York Strip was cooked perfectly and it was very tender. Let me say, I’m not a huge fan of Brussels sprouts. These were amazing. The parsnip purée was a great addition to the flavors of the vegetables. If you’re a fan of crème brûlée, save room for the trio. The vanilla was tasty, chocolate was rich and creamy, but the favorite was butterscotch. We will be back and next time, I hope it’s on ramen night!

Everyone at Render delighted us (a large collegiate lacrosse team) from the deliciously fresh food, comforting environment and lovely service. We felt so well treated. The top ordered dish was the NY strip and it was fantastic!!! I didn’t want it to end, this was well above your average steak entree you could truly taste the freshness of the steak. The dish was filling but not too heavy. I’m not usually a salad fan but the lettuce was tasty with the right amount of dressing ah such great flavors. It went smoothly couldn’t have asked for it any better. Thank you.

Went to Render during Restaurant week where they had a special deal “3 plates + dessert for $40” and it was worth. I enjoyed the squid ink linguine the most.

I was suspicious upon seeing the one-page menu with about 20 items total. Most are Asian fusion, such as bao and curry noodles. We ended ordering salmon, scallops and the crab noodles.

It’s amazing great tasting food from beginning to end. Had the salmon, and was delicious and crispy skin. My wife had the New York strip, it melts in your mouth. Very picky with Bok Choy and it was delightful…. They know their greens. Will definitely make this a regular spot. South Bend has some hidden gems!!!!!

Wow!, Is this place an amazing gem to find in Northern Indiana! The food was cooked to perfection. The detail work and artistry that went into styling each dish goes above and beyond what the area normal has to offer.

Extremely limited menu. Then they were out of multiple things. The waitress seemed like she was in a hurry to get us out even though there was only 1 other table on a Saturday night. I’m guessing there are no after dinner drinks, coffee, or dessert because we weren’t offered it. I’m glad we tried it, but you can get better food and better service over at Howard Park.

Good cocktails and friendly atmosphere. Owner talking to people. I stayed at bar and Scooter (mixologist as well) had good recommendations on food and drinks. Good and really handcrafted cocktails. Definitely recommend and return when possible.
