Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Shakopee

Andria served my date and I while we were celebrating her birthday. Her service was top shelf and one of the main reason we will be back. The food was amazing, every bite you wished would last forever. That atmosphere was perfect for any occasion. With just the right amount of lighting to showcase the beautiful stonework inside. We loved it and will be back again, hopefully sooner than later.

It was my first time there. We went for my parents' 40th wedding anniversary. Setting the reservation was easy, and our table was ready right on time. We got the breaking bread appetizer, very good! Their garlic butter is super good, lots of garlic we all really enjoyed it. My grilled salmon was nicely cooked, not dry, and the seasonal vegetables we great (red onion, carrots, and parsnips) if I had to be nit picky, it seemed like some of the rice was under done, but it wasn't bad. My husband and my mother got one of the weekly dishes, a chicken pesto pasta dish he was very happy with it, and there was more than enough to fill him up and take home leftovers! My father got the fiesta chicken pasta and said he liked it quite a bit. Overall, it was worth the price, I feel.

Highly recommend Hazelwood! We went with other couples and we all agreed we probably had the best steaks/food we’ve had in a long time! Loved the cozy, Christmas atmosphere, and all of the staff were very efficient & friendly! Crab cakes and green beans were amazing appetizers!! We are from NW Iowa, but we will definitely come back to Hazelwood at our next visit to Mpls!

We were shown to a table that was too close to the window for our liking and were immediately given a different one. One of our favorite waiters greeted us and our assigned waiter graciously allowed him to be our waiter. He let us get settled and then took our beverage and appetizer orders. They were excellent as always. He paced his service to our desires. We both ordered the scallop special. It was perfect. Perfectly seared and the roasted vegetables and purees were a wonderful accompaniment. The bread was crusty and warm. We were also able to greet other favorite servers and felt totally welcomed.

We seem to gravitate to Wildfire for special occasions and always are extremely happy that we do. The food is always excellent and so is the service. We highly recommend this restaurant.
