Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Washington Park

Another girls dinner, celebrating our friends birthday!! The ambiance was great. Loved how there kitchen was out for everyone to see things being prepared. The food was great. The Branzino is a must have if you like fish!

Linger always has great food and drinks! We did have to wait 15 mins over our reservation time of 8pm which was disappointing because we had a strict end time for the evening, and we couldn’t even get drinks while we were waiting because their bar was full.

Noth never disappoints! On this occasion, the restaurant was extremely busy and getting started with service took 15 minutes or so, which is unusual. Maybe they were short waitstaff? Once our service was engaged everything rolled along very smoothly and our server Jordyn W was excellent! Our meals were cooked to perfection and delicious.

We are traveling from out of state and celebrated our 7 year anniversary on January 7th. Our server Marco was very efficient and made our experience a great one!! We were given warm bread with olive oil to start and once they found out we were there for our anniversary they gave us a free glass of champagne to start the evening off!! We had fresh salads as appetizers. I had the It was Aged Porterhouse Agnolotti pasta with a brown butter sauce and I think I cried at the first bite, it was so good. My husband had the NY strip with brussel sprouts, both cooked perfectly. Ended the evening with bowl of gelato, which was of course delicious and also complimentary for our anniversary. My one and only complaint was it was extremely loud in the dining area so we had to talk louder to hear each other, but very romantic atmosphere and everyone around us was laughing and having a great time!! 10/10 would recommend and go back!

Another great lunch at Culinary Dropout. Service is consistent and pleasant and timely, and the menu is so varied I can always try something new. Thank you, we will be back.
