Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Itasca

Food is always great, never disappoints. The seasonal decor is beautiful.

This year our little family opted to forego the usual Thanksgiving traditions and decided to go out for a nice dinner. Wildfire was open and had reasonable accommodations and the prefixe menu looked great. We arrived early and were notified we’d be sat at our reservation time, which wasn’t too long after. Though the restaurant was filled, it wasn’t too loud and overall, it seemed everyone was happy. After being seated, we were treated to some breads and appetizers. Gabriel was our server and was fantastic. He was patient, friendly, receptive to needs, and timely. Give that young man a raise! Our meal was quite tasty! Reasonable accommodations were made. My only critique, do a separate pricing for kids under 5. We have a one year old, and they don’t eat that much on a good day, usually just sharing off our plates, but others than that, they ate pretty much everything put in front of them. We ended up taking our dessert home (equally as tasty. That Maple Pecan Pie was the bomb!). A great experience all around with none of the usual Thanksgiving hassle.

Thanksgiving dinner in a very crowded restaurant. We’ve been here before on Thanksgiving. Food was delicious, hot and lots of it. I had turkey with enough leftover for another dinner at home. My companion had a salad with filet of beef on top. She also had the casserole of assorted potatoes and cheeses. She loved all of the above. Took home some filet for tomorrow’s dinner. Even though it was very crowded, things flowed smoothly. Great overall in every aspect.

We had the combination dumplings for appetizer and the Kung pow chicken. It was delicious.

The owner made a point of saying hello to everyone at the table. The staff was fast and courteous. The food was great. I will be back.
