Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Gurnee

Truly an amazing experience each time, the food is amazing and the staff follows suit. Would highly recommend for a date night or team dinner, you won’t be disappointed.

My partner and I celebrated our anniversary at Daisie's and could not have been happier with our experience. We received outstanding service that made us feel extra special on our special day. Our server, Nick, wished us happy anniversary immediately after seating us, and treated us to two glasses of champagne on the house. Additionally, Nick helped us select between two pasta dishes. Later, he came out carrying the one we hadn't chose, saying that the kitchen had extra and he knew of a perfect home - on the house. Our food was impeccable, and each dish tasted like it was made with intention and care with a creative & local emphasis. Even the cocktail wowed me! The unique pasta shapes delighted me to no end. Thank you thank you for helping us (and our tastebuds) feel celebrated!

Our server Mike, was just the best. He was funny, witty and we were never behind. Even the water glasses stayed full. I had the turtle soup, everyone else had a salad. I couldn’t tell that it was turtle or some other delicacy but it was thick, a little spicy and I’ll do it again. We came for the Lake County Flavor Festival and that was a little confusing. We had at least 3 different menus on the table, all similar at different prices. I saw that happen Christmas Eve and prices and menus varied across the table. I think the management can’t handle the various programs and can’t deal with similar items costing vastly different prices when ordered at the same table. Still a great place, just know there may be confusion when the bill arrives.

First time diner and just arrived in town. What a fabulous experience. The server was super nice and friendly. She was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and wines. We had the pot stickers, drunken shrimp & egg rolls as appetizers… WOW! Clean plate club! Dinner was even better! 2 of us had the Flank steak & - had the braised short ribs. Whew…. Grand grand finally was the salted Carmel crem brûlée & chocolate cake. We are still talking about it this morning. Thank you for such a great experience and wonderful food. Radley Muller

We do the early dinner between 4-5pm as we want to enjoy each other's conversation without talking over others. Plus you can actually hear the beautiful music playing. Food is fantastic and so worth the price. Staff are so energetic, friendly, helpful, and since we go early enough we can actually talk with our server and get to know them a little. Makes the evening so pleasurable. A great neighborhood gem.
