Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Highland Park

Started with warm welcome and outstanding service. Food excellent. Decor sophisticated without losing cozy. Thank you!

This was our first time visiting. We loved every minute of our dining experience. Nate was great. He was informative, and funny! He made us the BEST French coffee EVER! The French, toast, crepes and eggs benedict were amazing. We can't wait to come back.

It was a great visit! Had a delicious pork chop and my husband had veal. I would recommend both. I was very surprised it came with a large salad too! The garlic red pepper dipping oil was very good too, I could smell The garlic! The service was great too! Well worth the visit! We will need to make another visit when it's not during Valentine's weekend!

Fantastic experience at The Abbey. From the coffee cocktails that were unique and very tasteful, to the old classic cocktails like the manhattan with a twist they were great. The place is not overly crowded and loud so you can hear your date and self which is refreshing. The food was 10/10. We did the mussels and crab dip which were cooked perfectly. Our main plates were the bavette steak and herb chicken and the flavor as well as presentation was amazing. Our desserts were sweet and tasty too. Staff were all super friendly and made great suggestions. Highly recommend.

Very nice set up, the food was outstanding, and the best dish was the smoked fried chicken, the drink selection gives something to everyone with over 3 dozen choices of beer, wine and cocktails. I would go back again. The waitress was nice and got everything out fast. We really enjoyed this place, for a downtown spot, it really has a lot, and it can get pricey but depends on what you get.
