Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Belvidere

My wife & I had our anniversary dinner at the Black Bass…it was so wonderful! We shared a spinach/crab/artichoke dip with pita chips which was really good and I had the bacon wrapped filet mignon- it was medium cooked perfectly! Came with mushroom bread pudding - also delish! My wife had a rack of lamb with fingerling potatoes- she love it…also perfectly cooked “between rare & medium rare.” Our server was very nice and checked in with us enough but not too much. If your a history lover, the Black Bass has a lot of history, including a grand British china collection. It was a lovely meal & experience!!

Only my second time dining at ninety acres and just like the first time, it was an absolute delight. Our waiter tonight was Andres and he was a gem. I want to give Andres a special shoutout for being so special and such a pleasure. He was so attentive and went above and beyond to make sure our dinner was nothing less than perfection! Thank you so much for an amazing dinner. Will be back as soon as possible.

Fantastic restaurant. We went here with one half of the family on Christmas Eve. It was so great that we took the other half here on the day after Christmas. Every dish was fantastic. Service is on point. Get there early and sit at the bar. Great vibe. Upscale, relaxed.

It was a very busy Friday between Christmas and New Year’s, and we were thankful for Open Table and having made reservations! The mild weather brought everyone out to Peddler’s Village and all shops were crowded. The next best part was they didn’t run out of the favorite foods so we could get the specials plus anything else. We always enjoy the food and atmosphere here.

Unbelievable dinner for Christmas Eve. I could not have asked for nor received a better experience. The food was amazing and the service spectacular. Our waitress (I hate that I have forgotten her name) was perfect. She was on top of everything, food came out on time and perfectly cooked, checked in on just enough but not too much. This is what I expect from Blue and always get it. If you ever have a chance to go to this restaurant make sure you do.
