Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in University City/Golden Triangle

Hello, our friends. Have been there many times, but not for thanksgiving, the day my father died. Over the years we have been to Ritz Carlton, George’s at the Cove, etc. Oh, and Inn at Rancho Santa fe. So, of late, we have traveled locally here to Paon. It is lovely, but getting too expensive. Recently at UTC, and thought Seasons might be a good choice. We even have two friends who felt they could afford to join in. All of had no children, so we enjoy having a “strays” holiday for us “only children”. Thank you as my husband called it a ‘magical night’ with frienda!

The Winery was quite nice for a late afternoon Thanksgiving meal. The food was delicious and the service pleasant. It made for an elegant and enjoyable holiday.

We had delicious food, a lovely attentive waiter, the interior is beautiful, the only thing we found annoying was the elevator type music that kind of drove us crazy, but we still plan to go back!

Food was all delicious! It’s so great to receive impeccable service… an art form that seems to have been lost a bit after Covid. The patio seating was comfortable and the decor and ambiance were great. What an absolute treat!

Excellent service, food and ambience. Special thank you to our kind and courteous server Sofia. Sofia went above and beyond to ensure our evening was perfect. She was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable, making us feel truly cared for throughout the evening.
