Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in The Lakes

We went out for a double date night and it did not disappoint. Our appetizers were great, the octopus was amazing, the drinks were delicious, everyone’s dinner was cooked perfect, and the service was great. It was our first time since the pandemic besides a friends party with a pre fixed menu and it was so good! I do miss the bread board that would come around, especially the white chocolate bread; however, the bread and butters that came were still so good. This is also the first restaurant we went to that had a gluten free bread as well to bring out for my husband. Thank you for a great evening for both couples to have a break from four kids each, haha.

Phenomenal dining experience off the strip! The steak, salmon and short ribs were flawless. We were celebrating a birthday and the sparkler in the four mini molten lava cakes was a fantastic treat! Thank you, Honey Salt! You are now on a short, elite list of local restaurants that are sure to please friends and family looking for recommended dining experiences. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I made a reservation on Friday night, and showed up on time. Just a small wait as the resturant was very busy. Wait staff is excellent and knowledgeable about the wine and food and provided great recommendations for both. We ordered a bottle of Orin Swift 8 years Zinfandel. It was recommended by the waiter, and was quite good. Calamari for a starter, and that was excellent. Lightly breaded with a good sugo and aioli. Spicy rigatoni for a main. This was also delicious, but the pasta was a bit undercooked for my liking. A great atmosphere, and experience. We will definitely return

Only 4 stars for value bc it is pricey, but it’s also excellent, so I’m not mad. The macadamia chicken is really outstanding, and the cheeseburger, sea bass sliders, homemade chips, fries, mashed potatoes, green beans…all fantastic. Service was friendly and fast, the restaurant is beautiful, they have a covered-heated patio, TV to check on sports, and the menu includes American to sushi. Definitely recommend!

Got possessed by a craving for the octopus dish I had seen another order on my last visit, so booked dinner. Sat at the bar per usual and tried all new menu items to me. Drink- •How 'bout Them Apples ($17): Fresh-from-the tree sour apple, sharp and earthy. Wonderfully evocative creation from Guillermo (Tito). •Kaiju Amiga ($15): Very balanced between nutty sweetness and tang. •Clearly ($16): Like being on a breezy Caribbean beach, sunny, salty, citrusy. •Desparada "Saturn Return" 2022 Red Blend ($20): Very good pour. Food- Foie Gras ($25): Several-forkfuls portion of the rich fatty organ, accompanied by a thin eggroll spear. Very nutty, sweet, and crisp. Spanish Octopus ($24): About 10 octopus chunks, nicely charred outside the tender meat. Plentiful firm risotto grains, al dente and mildly salty (squid ink). Listed with a fire symbol on the menu; accurate. Chili quite prominent, asked for some bread ($2) to absorb and deaden some of the heat. Spiced and spicy. Value: Most excellent for the alcohol. Undecided about the food; liked what I had, still feeling the heat. Atmosphere: Surprisingly quiet at first, but noise level rose to its usual loud magnitude as the customers poured in. Service: Exceptional and attentive!
