Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Lake Forest

I was celebrating my girlfriend‘s 40th birthday, the waiter was excellent highly recommend Tony V., he was so funny and entertaining.

It’s been a while since I’ve been here and I was pleasantly surprised they now have house-made pasta, prepared perfectly Al dente too. Squid ink pasta and short rib pasta are the go-to’s. Prior experience with their bolognese made me not want to come back because it’s really hard to mess up bolognese. I think you just have to know what to order. Italian chopped salad also another great one to try.

Love giving a well deserved positive review! Everything we had was perfectly cooked and delicious. The sushi was fresh, shrimp cocktail was perfectly cooked and crunched with each bite and the crab cakes were crunchy and filled with crab. The main course did not disappoint the ahi salad had a nice portion of ahi and a well blended salad mix, the fried shrimp was perfectly cooked, crispy with no oily residue and the lobster roll had mounds of lobster in a warm bun with ample butter, it was delicious. The crème brûlée was the best crème brûlée I’ve had in years. Thank you for a perfect meal! Well done!

Always a great experience at DFG! Celebrated a birthday with party of 7. Impeccable food, amazing service and energetic ambiance. Highly recommend this establishment for you next dining experience.

Fantastic, fun time at Puesto Los Olivos again. Food was delicious! We had the salsa bar (all the salsas were fantastic. The table's favorites ended up being the sweet, smoky pineapple and the smoky tomato), classic guacamole and various tacos for Taco Tuesday. I had the Verduras taco with no cheese because I'm vegan. I appreciate that they always accommodate that request. It is delicious! Other people at the table had the filet mignon, short rib and carnitas tacos. The favorite was the short rib taco. The ambiance is fantastic at this location. We sat out on their beautiful, festive patio, with hanging lights and heat lamps. This is always a favorite!
