Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Glen Ellen

House of prime rib is iconic for a reason and they lived up to the reputation. Our server was amazing and so was the food. This is what going out is supposed to be. Something many servers do not know how to do these days. It is definitely not a weekly dining place but for special occasions it is a definite treat.

Great service, what a hard working well cocoridnated team! Dinner was fabulous. Mkngolian pork chop was TheBest but everyone who reads reciews would already know this! Waiter was super cool and super experienced.

Very beautiful place. The service was outstanding, everyone was working as a team helping out, the food was amazing, we enjoyed wood grilled octopus and that was very tender and very good! Also had the the the spaghetti and the flavor was very good, the sauce and noodles we very good taste, definitely recommend that. We finish off with the 21 Day Dry Aged Tomahawk and that was a lot of meat and very good. It was good for 2 people. All 3 dishes was outstanding !!! Really recommend this place.

Lovely time … food delicious and perfectly paired, staff friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend whether you are a novice or a wine connoisseur!!

This was a cozy and romantic outdoor dining experience. We went on a Tuesday night which made for a quiet, seemingly private experience. There were some guests who curiously looked and one couple stopped to ask about the food. The ski chalets are decorated super cute and can fit many people at the one table. It was adorned with furry blankets both to sit on and to throw over you along with cushy pillows. There was also a tall standing heater and a fire pit so it’s definitely warm enough. Our servers were very attentive and both food and drinks came out in a timely manner. The holidays cocktails were well balanced. We also chose the cheese fondue which came loaded with a plate of vegetables to dip. My favorite was the broccoli and potato. We also splurged and got the chocolate fondue for dessert. Again, very flavorful but less fruit than the vegetable plate. Both were priced at $35 each. Drinks were in the $20-$27 range which is steep but normal for a Fairmont. The grounds are lit up for Christmas with music playing as well. It was a very pleasurable Happy Hour experience and we’d definitely go back for this or the dinner experience. One thing to know is to check the restaurant days/hours in advance. You’ll need to know to check in at the bar if you go on a day the restaurant is closed.
