Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Westwood

The Ho Ho Kus Inn is a neighborhood gem -- food is very good, it's got a nice atmosphere, and the service is professional, but friendly. It's nice to have a restaurant like this -- with a liquor license -- in the center of town. The manager was on site and working hard to make sure things went smoothly on the busy night we ate there.

this was my second time visiting Lucio’s. I am pleased to say my experience was just as nice. My husband and I were greeted and seated immediately. water and bread were immediately brought to the table. Our waiter Carlos, took our drink order and informed us of the specials .  in no time, our drinks were served, and Carlos took our order.  the dining room is very warm with  soft, white walls with black accents, and white linens, white China, and sparkling crystal. my husband and I both opted for soup as an appetizer. I had lobster bisque which was prepared exactly the way it should be. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his French onion soup.  for my entrée, I had a special, Pesto risotto with rock shrimp. It was heavenly, creamy and al dente, with the Perfect balance of basil, garlic. Olive oil, etc. my husband chose chicken franchese. It was lightly battered in a lemon butter sauce with fresh vegetables, also thoroughly enjoyed.. For dessert, we split Keylime pie, which we had on a previous occasion . outstanding. this restaurant will definitely be one of my top picks for 2025 , delicious food, very warm and accommodatimg staff, inviting ambience ...
