Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Lake Highlands

Waiter completely rushed us through dinner - hovering and asking us to make a decision on drinks appetizers and dinner within 5 minutes of us being seated. Explained we needed a minute to read the menu as we had never dined there before and asked for his recommendations. He literally came back 2 minutes later asking for a decision. The restaurant was almost empty as it was early on a Saturday night so I’m not sure why he was trying to push us through dinner. But even with us trying to stall and draw things out we were still done with dinner in less than an hour. For such an expensive restaurant I find this unacceptable especially when I told him three times to give us a moment. Food and atmosphere were excellent but service ruined the experience

I wish the hostess had told us a party of about 20 women were coming 30 minutes after my party of three sat. The decibel level had us covering our ears and shouting at each other like they were at the other table. it was my two friends’ first visit to Woodlands. I had touted the nice quiet ambience and delicious food. At least the food was perfect as usual. And the waitress was wonderful.

Service was wonderful and professional. Patrons were friendly. Made a special day for two friends celebrating holiday birthdays.

The seasonal butternut squash soup is delicious and dairy free. Our servercwas delightful and knowledgeable about the ingredients.

Server gave us time to talk but was attentive and responsive. We enjoyed the Happy Hour at Kona Greill.
