Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Lake Union / Eastlake

Absolutely beautiful and delightful. Attended for Valentine’s Dinner with my Husband and loved every second of the time. The waiters were kind and genuine, the atmosphere was intimate and personal. The food was special and authentic. The attention to detail made the experience one to remember for an eternity. We would recommend this experience to any lovers looking for a romantic evening.

Insanely busy but thank goodness we had a reservation; food was 10/10, very quick service, appreciate how many gluten free options there are! Will 100% come back.

We had the pleasure of celebrating both Valentine’s Day and our anniversary at South Lake Union’s Daniels Broiler, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism. Our server, Robert, was exceptional — perfectly attentive without ever being intrusive, and his extensive knowledge of the menu and wine list made our choices easy. He guided us to the perfect red blend to accompany our meal, enhancing the entire dining experience. We started with the crispy calamari and oysters on the half shell, both of which were fresh, flavorful, and impeccably prepared. For my entrée, I chose the crested Aji tuna, which was cooked to perfection, with beautiful flavors and a stunning presentation that looked almost too good to eat. My partner opted for Daniel’s filet mignon, which was prepared exactly as he requested — tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. We concluded our meal with Daniel’s Broiler’s signature coconut ice cream, complete with toasted coconut chips and a drizzle of hot fudge. It was simply out of this world. If you haven't experienced it yet, I highly recommend it! A special thanks again to Robert for his fantastic service and to the chefs for delivering an exceptional meal. Every aspect of our evening was perfect — from the food to the ambiance to the flawless service. We will certainly be returning for more memorable nights like this one. Simply fantastic.

The food and bar at Single Shot are second to none. Great appies and mains. Always some new and fun cocktails to try. One of our favorite restaurants!!!

First time to Pink Door and it did not disappoint! Everything we had was fabulous, the service was great as was the atmosphere! I felt at times I was in the 50’s with the decor and music which was fun! They even had real candles! We will definitely be returning!
