Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Anaheim

We sat out on smaller patio. Lovely ambiance and great service. Food was fresh and delicious.

Great customer service from the courteous and professional staff. The owner, Bruno Serrato also stopped by our table to check up on us. The ambiance was romantic and festive (holiday season). The food selection was broad and varied. We opted for the calamari (not fried) cooked in a cream sauce and escargot. We brought our own bottles of wine. The corkage fee was a bit on the high side ($35) but the wine we brought were in the $60-$100 range. So I guess it was still a savings for us. My duck l’orange was excellent. My wife had the branzino and she enjoyed it. Our friends had the hanger steak and braised rabbit. I would also suggest ordering the chocolate soufflé when ordering your main meal. It takes 20 mins to prepare this dessert. After dinner we went upstairs to the bar for some spirits. This place is actually quite spacious and is bigger than what you see from the outside. We would definitely come back for the food and experience.

Indoor seating with the 58* F weather. Great views with attentive & knowledgeable wait staff. Shared the olive app & toasted bread & tomato app. The Bread! The bread was an artisanal rustic white loaf. Slight crust with tender tender insides. SOOO GOOD! The tomato topping was slightly garlicky & tasty. Decided in the Coastal Array bomba rice(Paella). Safffon infused very tasty rice topped with mussels, clams & jumbo head on shrimp. This was a winner. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, the clams due to their petite size were a bit overcooked. Still, I’d order again. Needed a palate cleanser which the lemon sorbet filled the bill. Almost forgot the cocktails. Had the Top of V Manhattan. Well made cocktail with an Orange rind twist & a couple premium maraschino cherries. I love a nice cocktail at good restaurants. Never been disappointed yet. Did notice our second round (glass of Cabernet Sauvignon) took awhile. Not sure whether it was a late pick up by our waitress or the bartenders were too busy chatting. Very nice meal with a great night time view (kind of rare in North OC).

The food, service and ambiance were exceptional. This was our first experience dining at Poppy and Seed. I strongly recommend trying everything on the menu. My favorite starters were the Squash Blossom and ceviche. The mushroom side included asparagus spears and snap peas, very tasty. The garganelle pasta was cooked al dente and had the right ratio of sauce and protein. We ordered five main dishes and I enjoyed the half chicken, the duck and the braised beef the most! The ingredients were fresh and the taste of each entree were unique. Our meal would not be complete without the gelato and brown butter waffle. The four different flavored scoops of gelato sandwiched between two crispy and airy waffles made for a delicious treat to end the evening. I can’t wait to go back again.

Loved it! Excellent service and warm staff. Great wine and HH deals.
