Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Waconia

Wonderful meals and excellent service. Highly recommend.

Christmas Eve at Manny’s is one of our favs! Always a treat but extra special on 12/24. Jay has to be one of the best servers in town!!

A great place for a special occasion always -- but esp. at the Holidays. Great decor, lovely free music, cool drinks, great service and the photo booth all make for a fun time. And being employee owned is a cherry on the top of the sundae. I wish they had more vegan dishes. There is very little there for me to eat.

This was a Christmas celebration dinner, our aunt and uncle were very impressed with the ambience, service and food. The restaurant was very crowded, but not too noisy. The pork chops were tender and delicious. A very generous serving. The shrimp and scallop pasta was also generous, fresh and lemon-y. The popovers were a perfect first course. The steak salad dish was prepared rare and perfect. The walleye taco bowl had the right amount of spice, sauce and veg. We ordered the bread pudding to share, it was massive, the 4 of us tried but could not finish it. Hazelwood does not disappoint, we can count on it for a warm, laid back, delicious, attentive experience. Highly recommend

Bacio is always first rate. Great food. My favorite lunchband dinner spot.
