Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Lakeview / East Lakeview

This was my first time at Sapori and I went to celebrate my birthday. This was such a perfect dinner! Liv was my waitress and she was so helpful with menu recommendations, drink options, and even helped me celebrate by taking a photo for me with dessert. ☺️ the food was incredible, and the sides are family-style so you can definitely get them to share with the table - I ended up taking half of my sides home! If you are looking for a place to celebrate your next special occasion, I definitely recommend Sapori!

Tuesday, 03/11/2025 Linda Park, West Chicago Tonight marks the culmination of our Chicago adventure, and I've made reservations on OpenTable for French cuisine at Mon Ami Gabi, a testament to exceptional dining. Mon Ami Gabi has three locations: - Bethesda, Maryland - Lincoln Park, Chicago - Las Vegas, NV (Paris Hotel & Casino) I've had the privilege of experiencing two out of the three locations. This location is nestled in Highland Park inside the luxury Belen-Stratford Building, exuding refinement. The evening commenced at the front host, where we were warmly welcomed by a friendly host. We were promptly seated by the window, setting the tone for an unforgettable night. We were greeted by a remarkably attentive waitress named Liz. The ambiance was nothing short of perfection! The music was fitting, crafting an enchanting atmosphere. All of our appetizers and entrees were a culinary masterpiece. I had the pleasure of ordering the specials: - Duck A L’Orange, expertly prepared to perfection. The duck was savory, the meat was tender, and the sauce was truly sublime! - Hanger Steaks for both of my colleagues, which they thoroughly enjoyed. Appetizers: - Melted Brie - Escargots De Bourgogne - Warmed baguettes Desserts: - Crème Brûlée Wine: - Two glasses of Red Bordeaux Whenever you have the opportunity to visit the Mon Ami Gabi establishment, seize it, and your palate will be eternally grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant, a true gem that will leave you in awe.

We discovered this amazing restaurant on Google Maps and immediately made a reservation. Let me tell you, it was totally worth the visit! The restaurant boasts a stunning view of the main streets, surrounded by skyscrapers that create a spectacular backdrop. The service was impeccable, with William as our server excelling at his job and even adding a touch of humor to our evening. My filet mignon was cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with charred asparagus. Both my husband and daughter raved about their delicious spaghetti with meatballs, made with the freshest ingredients. Although we planned on indulging in dessert, we were all so full that we decided to save it for our next visit. Yes, we loved it that much! If you ever find yourself in the area, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed!

Had a lovely dinner with friends. The menu is full of winners, food was delicious. Our waiter Jack was attentive and fun. Manager/sommelier Kent checked in several times, very engaging. We felt welcome and cared-for.
