Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Fountain Square

Another great dinner at H&I’s. Celebrated Christmas dinner with the family. Food was fantastic as always.

Iozzos is always one of our go to favorite places! The food and service are always excellent.

Each year our son picks the restaurant for his birthday dinner and this year it was Commission Row. Typically, Tony’s is his favorite however Commission Row’s atmosphere, food and service exceeded expectations. Joachim, our server, started the night with impeccable service, personable, informative and attentive. With seven in our party, a majority of the menu items were selected and enjoyed. All the selections were plentiful and flavorful. Highlights included the wedge salad (one of the best we’ve eaten), filets cooked perfectly, crab cakes loaded with crab, creamy lobster bisque, tender scallops and crispy salmon with a tender inside. Side dishes were served family style with enough left to take home. Dessert highlights included 10-layer chocolate cake, crème brûlée, and gelato trio. We will definitely return and request Joachim for each of our visits. Thank you, Joachim for making our dining experience special.

We went with family, 2 who had been to St. Elmo’s before, 3 new. This restaurant was highly recommended by a former local. The experience was as wonderful as we were told it would be!! The food was fantastic, the service was amazing, Bill Shipley was great! What a wonderful evening!!

Service was excellent and the food outstanding! Definitely get the bruschetta with ricotta appetizer. We had the spinach ravioli, chicken vodka, and chicken parmesan. All were cooked just right and the flavorings and textures were well balanced and complementary. We told the staff that we had a show and limited time and they expedited the entire meal but with no sense of rush. We recommend Maialina 10/10!
