Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Itasca

We ordered cocktails/wine that were all very good - gin and tonic, vodka tonic, sangria and glass of wine. We ordered the Family Style meal that is an excellent value with the apps, mains and dessert included. Excellent value for those wanting a variety as the selections should cover all preferences/palates. We were waited on by Anna who arguably made this one of the best dining experiences my family has had in recent memory. There were multiple large parties due to the holidays but she navigated the timing of food delivery perfectly. We were also never wanting a refill on our drink or water glass as Anna made sure we always had full drink. I need to say that I put my reservation through for 5pm on and Friday and noted, "please do not sit next to bussing stations, bathrooms, kitchen or common/high traffic areas." I understand this is the holiday and if the dining room was full I would not have an issue with where we were first seated but it was by the bussing station and I asked to be moved. What I did not appreciate is the person who was seating us, had some attitude and wanted it to be known - this is what we, my family and I, were getting even before our meal started. I get it, there's a flow of seating guest as they arrive, maybe "outside to inside," meaning seat people from the outside of the dining room towards the center but I noted this on my reservation we did not want to sit next a bussing station. Now, I'm sure this person was possibly over the busyness of the holidays or got coal in their stocking but they were spewing vinegar when I asked that we move in banging the menus with their overall demeanor of eye rolling, I almost wanted to ask, "if there was a problem?" but held back. As I mentioned, Anna quickly made us forget about that experience. Brian was also gracious to come by and ask how are meal was. If you go, ask for Anna and your dinner will be one of the best. Thank you Anna and the support staff. To that person who seated us, hmm

The receipts do not list the name of the employees "Bar B & Banquet #4" but going off memory the bartender was Sonya? I didn't get her name but overheard an employee calling her. Anyways, service all around was fantastic. I do not remember my servers name. Everyone was very attentive while not being obtrusive. The entire team having to work on Christmas so they can give me and my family a wonderful experience means a lot. Just wanted to say thank you for all you do and we are looking forward to a visit in the near future!

Great food, incredible service. Our table was close to the service station so lots of plates clanking, but not anyone at the restaurants fault for that. Just if you’re looking for a relaxing atmosphere maybe be asked to be seated away from the kitchen

we popped in for lunch on Monday. We both ordered the mushroom bisque soup, which was very good. One of us had the lentil pasta dish, and the other had the crab cake sandwich-both were delicious. finished off with the raspberry cannoli dessert, which was scrumptious .  for our drinks we had wine and coffee, and our server was fantastic; Very accommodating.  we hope to be back soon!

Wonderful service....made dish not on lunch menu.... flexible with desserts... thanks so much....all yummy 😋
