Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Lake Forest

Disotto never disappoints. The Spaghetti Carbonara is as good as anywhere in the world. Their calamari just has the right amount of batter and the alioli was delicious. I also love the fact that the bar stuffs their own blue cheese olives. This is a management that focuses on details and creates a wonderful dining experience,

Best service from waiter Eric. Great food too. Always can count on Francesca’s for a wonderful dining experience.

A GREAT dining experience! 1st off, I have to give praise to the SERVICE ! It was top notch from the moment we entered the door, to the meal, & to the checkout. We commented that every customer was receiving attention not only from the waiters but the bussing staff, & even the Maitre'd who would periodically move through the restaurant & check with customers! 2nd was the food. There were diverse choices for everyone. The appetizers were quite good (We had the meatballs with arugula in marinara) & sizeable. The entrees were prepared to perfection. "Francisco's Salmon' was awesome. We had Key Lime Pie for dessert - the best this side of Key West! 3rd was the drink menu. There were various good wine choices. We chose 2 of the 'House Cocktails'! The 'Paloma' & 'Arturo's French Martini' were both awesome! Finally, the ambience was comfortable. The noise level was moderate - a sign that everyone was enjoying the food and atmosphere. Scotty's on Sheridan was a great experience from start to finish!

We've eaten here a bunch over the years and never had a bad experience. It can get a little loud so be prepared for that. Service is engaged and professional and friendly. Food is amazing!!!!
