Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Belmont Central / Cragin

The Walnut room is very nice and the service is great. Not quite up to the Marshall Field standard and the change to Mrs. Hearing spot pie flaked pastry was disappointing. Having said that the food was good and enough to not be able to finish.

Celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday last night. Our server Juan enhance our dining experience with his exemplary level of service and knowledge of Spanish cuisine. He guided us through the entire dining process from picking out the best steak for our tastes we anre heavy into dry aged steak. He suggested a steak that was a special for the evening and the sides to complement. I’m giving Asador Bastian 4 stars because I wish the portion of the steak tartare was larger. That was a disappointment. Otherwise, the service, ambiance, quality of cuisine was outstanding. Please request Juan to be your server.

Our night was so enjoyable, and it started with our server. He was personable, helpful and good humored. The cocktails are creative, I had the Japantown and loved it. Very original, very refreshing. We shared the garlic fried rice, brussels sprouts, fire chicken and steak kalbi. Every bit of it was delicious. Truly, could not have been happier with the experience.

First time here. Tremendous blend of tastes from start to finish ! We tried 3 unique cocktails and were not disappointed. The Fig Carré is my favorite. For starters the Potted Carrots and Shaved Butternut First timers & Squash were delicious! Of the pastas our favorite ended up being Stuffed Farfalle with Pappardelle coming in 2nd. The rainbow trout was excellent & light. We so enjoyed every taste! The butter cake was THE BOMB. Service was attentive and top notch . Was exceptional culinary experience.

The food at Gibsons Italia is always exceptional, matched only by the stunning view. The focaccia and prosciutto appetizer is a must-try every time. The ambiance is unparalleled, making it the perfect spot to impress out-of-town guests. Lydia took excellent care of us, providing top-notch service throughout the evening.
