Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Pomona

Hubby and I decided to celebrate Valentine’s here as it’s one of my favorite places. Since I’m Cuban, I’m particularly critical about Cuban restaurants. This is one amazing restaurant! The tasty lechon asado entree came with yummy yucca topped with delicious mojo, perfect maduros and congri. The only issue was the very very loud group in the bar( they were in waiting area with us previously) . I think it would have been appropriate if management had spoken to them since the restaurant is not a stadium. Again we enjoyed the meal and server was excellent! Looking forward to a next meal.

The food was good, but the service was a little slow.

My wife and I tried the 5-course menu with wine pairings and it was well worth it. We had a window view with no obstruction and got to see the Disney fireworks towards the end. The food was amazing and our server was great as well. We didn’t feel rushed at all and our server was very knowledgeable about the food and wine. This was our second time at Orange Hill and they never disappoint and highly recommend. Our reservation was at 7pm and got to the valet 5 minutes before and was able to check in and get seated quickly.

The farm cheese is the best at Bavel. My husband and I also love the baba ghanoush (we always need an extra order of fried pita). The grilled dates have a nice kick to it and it was nice to eat a savory date for once. The lamb rack is always cooked to perfection. Our friend always orders the 26 oz ribeye and finishes it during dinner and my husband and I can see why. Nothing at Bavel disappointed us. I would recommend the cashew ice cream bar over the apple prune cake, but you really can't go wrong with either. It was a great dinner! Also every cheese and milk is pasteurized so despite being 6 months pregnant, I could eat everything!

My husband and I enjoyed an early Valentine’s Day out. The garlic shrimp linguine was very good and my husband said his Barramundi fish dinner was excellent. It was a great ambience. We looked out at the patio on a rainy night with all of the beautiful lights. Be sure and grab a glass of wine and some crabcakes. Those were very good too.
