Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Fountain Valley

We have been to Seasons 52 on many occasions for happy hour and/or dinner. Each time we have had a wonderful experience. The food is delicious, and the cocktails are excellent. They also have a variety of wines and include pairing suggestions on the menu. The prices are very reasonable, too. Lastly, the service has always been friendly and professional. I definitely recommend Seasons 52.

We had a great evening at Dukes. Enjoyed the crab wontons, soup, salad and macadamia crusted fish special. The server was friendly and attentive. We were seated near a window where we could see both the pier and the ocean. Lovely evening — thank you! We have been lucky enough to visit Dukes previously in both Maui and La Jolla. We were glad to feel the consistent level of quality with our visit to Hawaii. We will be keeping Dukes on our list of places to visit when traveling!!!

Had breakfast/brunch at Lorea. The restaurant has a beautiful patio with heaters (for cooler weather). Service and food was good. Recommend the apple pull bread and the french toast, for something different with a twist.

Xmas Eve dinner was wonderful at Habana. We were greeted at the door with complimentary sparkling rose wine while we were checked in for our reservation. Our reservation was for comfortable outdoor seating with a festive ambiance for the season. The server was attentive and courteous offering recommendations and adjustments for some of our dietary restrictions. The seasonal cocktails were delicious and our food was too. Overall a great experience and we are planning to go back soon!

This was our first time eating here. I had been at this location when it used to be Scott's Seafood. It has been renovated and the food is much better to my liking. It's all about the seafood, although they have beef too. We ordered 3 entrees... Sable fish in a spicy broth with thin soba noodles. The fish was a large portion and thick too. Scampi with parpadelle pasta. Wow, the shrimp were large and the pasta is one on my favorites with the sauces soaking all the flavors into the pasta. Cioppino was my favorite. It had prawns, salmon, white fish, calamari, clams, mussels all in the most favorable warm broth. We brought a bottle of champagne with us and they don't charge a corkage fee. Wow, can't wait to return again. The service was spot on. Our server was attentive and personable. Yum!
