Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Merrillville, IN

Food was delicious. Service was excellent. Stunning views of the river. It is noisy. Expensive.

Always a favorite. Even with an early reservation it’s bustling with a good crowd. Fantastic martinis, consistently wonderful American cuisine set in charming atmosphere only RL can provide.

I wish I had gotten the name of our waitress. She made our experience wonderful and we come every year to the Walnut Room since my children were little and they are now 20 and 17. Our waitress took one of the best pictures of our family at the tree, came to our table often refilling our drinks and asking if we needed anything more. She was just so happy and joyful it really added to our experience at the table. She even brought us Walnut Room glasses at the end. We always have a good time at the Walnut Room but our experience this time was exceptional! I thanked her at the end as well, but please treat this waitress well and keep her because she is a shining star for sure!!

We had a nice first experience and will return. Food was seasoned and well prepared. Staff were friendly and efficient.

My first time dining at Daisies and wanted to belatedly celebrate my birthday with friends. From the beginning the food, service, and overall vibes were amazing! Our server Alberto also made my bday extra special. Loved the fritto misto, gooey butter cake, and the truffle ravioli. Will definitely be dining again when I'm back in town!
