Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Highland Park

This was without a doubt the most special, elegant meal I’ve ever had. We’ve traveled around the world, but our dinner at Joan’s in the Park was memorable beyond any other meal we’ve had. The portions were perfect, the presentation exquisite, and the service unobtrusive yet excellent.

I met 3 friends for lunch. We shared 2 meatballs as an appetizer. They were fantastic and 2 meatballs were plenty for an appetizer. Our meal orders were all over the menu. All were delicious but the winner was the "Minute Chicken". We shared the Banana Pudding for dessert. There was plenty to share and was the best banana pudding that I have ever had. The place was packed on this Tuesday for lunch, but our server, Jessie, treated us as if we were the only table in the house. I can't wait to go back.

Any and all Lettuce Entertain You restaurants/concepts would earn top marks from me (and most everyone) but Twin City Grille gets a bit higher grades. Much like their sister Wildfire brand, the menu is varied with everything being outstanding. Service is always friendly, professional and fully customer-focused. Portions are generous, plating and quality of the cuisine is terrific adding-up to a solid value-for-money. In fact, so enjoyable we'll be returning tomorrow to try different items before leaving town.

Crave is always a good location. Looks like the menu has been simplified a little bit, which I think was a move they needed to make. It's always a place everyone in the family likes to go. You can spend a lot, but you don't have to.

Great experience. We had a wonderful experience. Will be back again
