Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Kenilworth

We have been here several times and each time it’s wonderful. The food is delicious and the staff is very attentive. Highly recommend.

Entering the restaurant the hostess was very greeting and sat us to our table until our guests arrived. The food was amazing from the appetizers to dinner and dessert. Our waitress was very nice and made us laugh. This was our first visit here definitely recommend and will be going back for sure.

My dining experience was 10/10. I initially don’t even want to go out for V-day because I was not in the mood to deal with long lines and crowds. However. I was told a reservation was made and I would not have to wait, we traveled an hour to the location, pulled up to Valet parking… ready and friendly service. We walked in and was kindly greeted by the host, she was polite and knowledgeable of the menu. She checked us in and with no waiting we were seated, initially I was a little nervous about the seating arrangement (we sat on high tops at the bar) however, I told my fiancé… it’s really the best seat in the house. My waitress came over at a punctual timing, informed us again about the menu, took our drink orders and shared some water for us. The remainder of the evening was magical.. we had crab cakes and beef kabobs for appetizers, shrimp pasta and short rib for entree and churro and square bite (phenomenal if you are lactose, I am!!) for dessert. The blessed us with complimentary champagne upon sitting down(this was a package deal with the V-day menu) it was very good( I was afraid it was going to be cheap and bitter… far from) the drink were top tier, I loved that the waitress has a chance to taste the food and drinks prior to that night so that she could give her opinion on recommendations. This was such a help when making decisions on the drinks.. ( That Dusse HIT!!) ohhhhh, before I forget the music selection and then the live DJ… AMAZING!!! I have never been to this restaurant on a regular night however, I look forward to going there for a regular date night, it really impressed me.

We had Valentine’s Day dinner at Sweetwaters. The food was excellent. I enjoyed my lobster tails tails, and my husband enjoyed his spaghetti and meatballs. Sweetwaters is our favorite place to eat whether a holiday or a normal visit.

It’s our first time at this place, even though we’ve been seeing it for over two decades. In short, we were quite pleasantly surprised by the taste of the food, as it was light but very flavorful - not as salty as we thought we’d get from almost any Italian restaurant we’ve been to, some of which are very good in their own right. However, this lightness in taste stood out, be it the prosciutto in the salad or the clams in pasta. We’ll come back for sure.
