Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Parkland

Wonderful dinner to celebrate my mothers birthday with family. We were seated about 15 minutes past our reservation time but a Saturday night on a holiday weekend is extremely busy so understandable. Our service going forward was very attentive but gave us plenty of time to decide on our choices and answered any questions we had regarding the menu. We greatly enjoyed the cheese and candied bacon appetizer and all our entrees were exceptional, particularly the short rib risotto. For such a large and busy restaurant which also includes a large wine tasting room/shop and bar the restaurant as a whole operated smoothly and never disappoints.

I took my friend here for her birthday. It’s been so many years since I have been to City Fish Market. We started with drinks. She had Prosecco and I had a watermelon martini. Drinks were good. We didn’t order any appetizers. I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass which came over spinach, jasmine rice and an oriental sauce. I thought it was just okay. I wouldn’t order it again. My friend hit the jackpot when she ordered the Alaskan King Crab legs. They cracked them open for her which was great. They gave her 2 large crab legs which had so much meat on them. She could only eat one so she gave me the other one. It was so tender and so delicious. She ordered sides of Cole slaw and sweet potato mashed potatoes. I tasted the sweet potatoes and they were excellent. They bought out a piece of chocolate mousse cake for her birthday but she was so full so she took it home with her. They didn’t charge for the cake which I thought was so nice. Our waiter was excellent and the ambience was beautiful . Will definitely be going back. Definitely worth the money.

Being next to an airport and planes flying by all evening and sitting outside was difficult (although not the restaurant’s fault).

From the valet to the hostesses, our welcome was top-notch! We were welcomed, and accommodations were made to seat us at the outside bar as wanted. Zero attitude or side-eye! So appreciated! The food was good. We weren't rushed. Our orders arrived in good time. The bartender mixed flavorful cocktails, but her pour was skimpy on both of our drinks. This is a pet-peeve of mine. For the price of your cocktails, a full or even generous pour should be given. Nice crowd. Well dressed. Great chatter...

A most pleasant place to dine. Food, service, ambience all delightful.
