Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Portage, IN

The food is very unique, with different flavours and seasoning. Pick some different dishes and share with your friends, so you can try as many different dishes as possible.

Great atmosphere. We went with children and even though they have a kids menu, I wouldn’t say it’s a kid friendly place. That being said the food was wonderful and service excellent. Be prepared to be on top of other guests, as tables are very close together.

Definitely a go to place. Food and cocktails were excellent. Parking a bit challenging.

Always have dinner at a Gibsons restaurant, usually the Rosemont location. It’s not that the ambience in Rosemont is bad, but we fell in love with Gibsons Italia. A bit more modern in its decor with the same excellent food and a fabulous view! My new favorite Chicago restaurant!

We were seated 10 minutes early for our 1pm reservation. Out server arrived at our table immediately and greeted us. We put in drink orders then when she came with those we ordered our appetizer and meal. We thought it might take a bit of time as the place was full but it was all out quickly. Ordered thr pot pie and braised beef and both good. This is where service got slow but I think they seated 3 or 4 new tables in her area at once so she was busy. Ordered thr mint cheesecake and that was amazing. Bill was $80 plus tax so not really bad for 2 people to have a nice meal with drinks and dessert. The tree and Christmas decorations were beautiful and we lucked out and were seated near the tree. Will make it a tradition each year to go back. Lucked out on the reservation because we missed it when it opened. So glad we got one!
