The Best Special Occasion Restaurant In Every State

Be it a birthday, holiday, anniversary, promotion, graduation or something different altogether, special occasions call for special meals, eaten at special restaurants. Finding that perfect restaurant can prove to be pretty stressful, though. That's why we've tracked down the best restaurant for celebrating a special occasion in every state.

While many of these restaurants are great for celebrating, say, your teenager's birthday or the in-laws coming for a visit, a lot of them are more upscale than America's best casual restaurants. There are some places here best reserved for when you have a big thing to celebrate, like a major promotion, marquee anniversary or birthday and you're looking to drop some big bucks.

In order to track down the best special occasion restaurant in every state, we started by diving into local rankings and online review sites to get a sense of where the locals go when they're looking to celebrate. We then judged each restaurant according to a set of criteria.

These are restaurants where you'll want to dress up a little beforehand and be prepared to spend a little (or a lot) more money than you usually do when dining out. Maybe you had to work hard at securing that in-demand reservation. Maybe there's a white tablecloth on your table and a menu that offers high-end fare (especially celebratory dishes like steak and lobster). If you're really looking to splurge, maybe there's a prix-fixe menu and add-ons like caviar or foie gras. There should ideally be a good wine list and a wide variety of cocktails, and of course a nice selection of desserts. It should be romantic, but not so romantic or highbrow that a family will feel out of place. And a private room for larger groups is always nice. Above all, it should be a restaurant that makes you feel special just by being there.

Highlands Bar & Grill put the Birmingham, Alabama, dining scene on the map when it opened in 1982, and its Southern-inspired fare is still drawing in crowds. There's a swanky front bar and a high-ceilinged, elegant dining room with white tablecloths, huge front windows and some large round tables for bigger groups. Standout menu items include pheasant two ways, Mississippi wild redfish and lamb porterhouse chops. Highlands is one of the restaurants you absolutely must visit in America.

Located in the luxurious Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage, Alaska, the AAA four-diamond Crow's Nest offers 360-degree views from the upper floors and an upscale menu of French and New American cuisine from chef Reuben Gerber. It's a restaurant with plenty of dark woods and a 10,000-bottle wine list. Menu items reflect the classy setting and include risotto, espresso-crusted rib-eye, bison filet and king crab, which makes the list of the one food you need to eat in every state.

With some of the most breathtaking views in Scottsdale, Arizona, Orange Sky is perched 15 stories up on the top of Talking Stick Resort. It offers 360-degree views from floor-to-ceiling windows. The modern and inviting eatery has well-spaced tables, private dining rooms as well as a beautiful patio, so there's the perfect space for any kind of celebration. Wherever you sit, you can dig into agave-chile beef tenderloin, jalapeno bacon-wrapped shrimp and scallops, and grilled elk loin al fresco.

Bordinos opened on Dickson Street in Fayetteville, Arkansas, in 1996, and since then it's become a centerpiece of the community.

There are a variety of housemade pastas on the menu as well as steaks, a daily-changing fish selection and a blackened pork chop.

Thomas Keller is one of America's most famous chefs, and his French Laundry in Yountville, California, (along with his Per Se in New York) is easily among the very best restaurants in the country. His famed wine country concept may be one of the toughest restaurant reservations to get in America, but if you can snag a table, you'll be treated to a daily-changing, lavish New American tasting menu in a subdued and elegant dining room with white tablecloths and plenty of fresh flowers.

Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder, Colorado, is run by the duo of owners Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson, who have created a warm and inviting corner space with dark wood floors and floor-to-ceiling windows that set an ideal landscape for a celebratory meal. The menu changes regularly, but dishes like butternut squash with smoked ricotta and black truffle, or lamb with polenta and broccoli rabe make it one of America's best Italian restaurants.

David Burke Prime, tucked away inside Mashantucket, Connecticut's gleaming and expansive Foxwoods Resort Casino, is one of the best steakhouses in America, and a perfect setting for a special occasion meal.

With an inviting bar, a soaring dining room and plenty of space for large groups, Harry's Savoy Grill in Wilmington, Delaware, is well-suited for a celebratory feast. The menu is expansive, but steaks are the highlight, especially the 45-day-aged 18-ounce rib-eye and some of America's best prime rib available in three sizes. The chopped Greek salad, hot crab and artichoke dip, and freshly shucked oysters are also worth seeking out. There's also a ballroom to host banquets that can be paired with a buffet or seated meal for a special occasion like a big birthday or anniversary.

They just don't make steakhouses like Bern's in Tampa, Florida, anymore. It opened in 1956, and in its warm and inviting dining rooms or private rooms, you can indulge in 20 kinds of caviar and more than 50 individual cuts of steak. For the sweetest moments in life, go for one of the more than 50 desserts served in a separate "dessert lounge" and your choice of more than 500,000 bottles of wine. It's no wonder we've named it No. 1 on our list of the best steakhouses in America.

Part of the Star Provisions complex, Bacchanalia opened in 1993 and has long been one of Atlanta's premier fine-dining destinations.

There are plenty of deep leather booths with a sleek black color scheme illuminated by a cool, light blue ambient glow.

Girl and the Goat, chef Stephanie Izard's Chicago flagship, remains one of America's hottest restaurants even though it opened back in 2010. It's always a party at this modern Illinois classic, with a comfortable lounge, bar seating, standard tables and four seats that look right into the kitchen (if you're lucky enough to nab them). There's a vaguely industrial vibe, with exposed brick walls and wood beams. The color scheme may be surprisingly muted, but it's the endlessly creative Asian-inspired dishes that really pop. Standouts from the always-creative menu include sauteed green beans with fish sauce vinaigrette and cashews, wood oven-roasted pig face with an egg and tamarind, and confit goat belly with lobster and crab.

It also has a whopping seven private party rooms, one of which can seat up to 100 people for the biggest celebrations.

Malone's opened in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1998, and has become a local institution thanks to its menu of USDA prime steaks and non-steak specialties like grilled sweet tea chicken, Chilean sea bass Vera Cruz and bourbon butter cake.

Commander's Palace is a slice of New Orleans dining history, dating all the way back to 1893, and it counts legends like Paul Prudhomme and Emeril Lagasse as former chefs. Today, chef Tory McPhail is carrying the torch, turning out legendary Louisiana dishes such as turtle soup, pecan roasted gulf fish and Creole bread pudding souffle. Each of the restaurant's many dining rooms has a fun and festive air while maintaining a true high-end atmosphere, a feat that's not easy to pull off. Arguably, the best time to visit is on Saturday and Sunday mornings; Commander's jazz brunch is one of the best brunches in America.

A wood-burning oven is the centerpiece of Fore Street, a Portland, Maine, icon since 1996. The oven is visible from most tables, lending the already-cozy restaurant a rustic, homespun feel.

Handmade pastas, creative pizzas, a "mozzarella bar" and specials including roast suckling pig make Scampo one of America's top Italian restaurants.

At his Detroit restaurant Roast, chef (and Food Network star) Michael Symon is putting his own spin on steakhouse classics. Think of a dry-aged rib-eye with umami butter and grilled endive, a filet topped with crab bearnaise, roast chicken with tzatziki and mint, or mussels and fries with Italian sausage. Roast also has a lively bar scene with a killer happy hour ($4 beers, $5 wines and half-off bar menu items) for celebrations. For a more subdued experience, hit up the dining room, which has a mellow, earth-toned color scheme, white tablecloths and a banquette that seats up to eight. For intimate evenings, there are also two private party rooms.

If you're looking for a classic steakhouse experience in Minneapolis, look no further than Murray's, which has been going strong since 1946. Opened by Art and Marie Murray, the Minnesota restaurant is still in the family, and many of Marie's old recipes (including garlic toast and the famed 28-ounce "Silver Butter Knife Steak for Two") are still used. It's been renovated, so it no longer looks like it did in the '40s, but there's a sleek bar and an elegant and understated mirrored dining room that has a relaxed yet spirited vibe.

Oxford, Mississippi, has been home to New Orleans-born chef John Currence's City Grocery since 1992. Snag a table on the second-floor balcony or take a seat in the rustic and elegant dining room and dig into classic Southern-inspired fare like Benton's ham and white bean soup, shrimp and grits, or sorghum-braised duck leg with sweet potato puree and collard greens.

Any other day of the week, start off with a seafood tower, followed up with a Prime New York strip or bone-in rib-eye.

Located inside a Chatham, New Jersey, farmhouse dating to the mid-1700s, the elegant and inviting Scalini Fedeli has been a go-to for New Jerseyans looking to celebrate a special occasion since it opened in December 1995.

In a city with no shortage of great restaurants to celebrate a special occasion, Eleven Madison Park stands at the top of the New York City heap.

Be sure to get the famed chocolate soufflé for dessert.

Each of the five dining rooms at Bismarck's spacious 40 Steak & Seafood represents a different aspect of North Dakota — women of the prairie, cattlemen, governors, oil booms and families.

The menu is rooted in what it calls Foothills Cuisine, and is inspired by local Appalachian ingredients.

Canlis opened in Seattle in 1950, and its modern-rustic design with angled ceilings, copious windows and plenty of light wood and stone, immediately put it on the map in Washington State. Today, it is one of the few jackets-required restaurants left in the country as well as one of the most historic restaurants in America. Certain dishes, like the famed Canlis salad with bacon, mint and lemon have become iconic, and it's still pushing boundaries with Asian-inspired fare like caramelized mussels with pine nut green curry and geoduck XO sauce, dry-aged lamb leg and belly with fermented Brussels sprouts, and a bean stew made with 23 varieties of beans.
