Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Cottage Grove

We live in Duluth and frequently travel from the MSP airport. Hazelwood is our favorite post-flight weekend brunch location. The food, drinks, and serv9ce are consistently excellent. Keep up the great work. P.S. It's always a positive sign of a well-run restaurant when you see management pitching in alongside the hosts and servers.

Still one of the most reliable outstanding restaurants in the Twin Cities area. Consistently good over the decades - a real unsung gem!

Amazing bloody mary and mimosa bar, almost a meal in themselves! We were celebrating a birthday, which got us a free photo booth token and dessert to share. I didn't realize how big this place is! We were seated in the quieter dining side, but the live music playing in the other area wasn't too loud. Looks like a nice happy hour, too, so we'll have to return soon for that!

Our waiter Charles and his team helping him were amazing. Anticipated our every need and did not hover. Perfection on every level! Thank you Charles for making our son’s bday special! We will be back.

Ciao Bella has been our favorite for 30+ years. The consistency of excellent cuisine and service is world class! Our favorite server Seth, truly sets the table for wonderful evening. Our fav's of Walleye Milanese, Chicken parm, parmesan crusted shrimp, ahi tuna crisps and Tortigliona Rosa were enjoyed by all.
