WOW! Booked this great place purely for their location for our evening plans at the Palace of Fine Arts, figured it would be Nice, but it FAR EXCEEDED our expections! LOVED it and would go back in a heartbeat! Hung for a few minutes at the far in front; very friendly bartender who made me the BEST gin & tonic I've had in ages! Sat out back for dinner; it was a cool City night but the the area is sheltered and they have heaters, so it was perfect, no sweater needed. I figured it would be a "good food" kind'a place but seriously, it is BETTER than that -- just fantastic! We started with carpaccio, fresh and wonderful, always a great way to start a meal. Our entrees were the short ribs and the salmon; both were cooked PERFECTLY, just divine. We both had dessert too; the cheesecake & the flourless chocolate cake, both were wonderful, the perfect ending to a fabulous dinner. The service was also great, everyone so friendly...we'll be back for sure, this place is awsome! Thank you for a great meal!!

Drinks and appetizers were good, outdoor space is dog friendly but service did not match and was quite underwhelming.
Staff was mostly friendly and accommodating to our dog but unfortunately our server did not check in on us after we finished our appetizers, we wanted to order entrees but no one checked in to take our order except the busser? When he came to clear our plate and we ended up ordering another round of drinks from him.
My partner talked to the GM before we left and he was very nice and offered to accommodate us if we came back..

We hosted an incredible 75 person wedding reception at The Patio, and cannot say enough good things about the experience! Before, during, and after - Valeria and the whole team were responsive, attentive, and helpful - from multiple planning visits to try food & drinks to customizing the experience of the wedding day (even down to the little things, like naming the cocktails & adjusting the menu for us).
Thank you Valeria and team for making our day so special!

We've hosted a Fellowship dinner for policy folks 3 years now at the Patio. Val always makes it a wonderful experience and bends over backward to accommodate any needs. Our group had a number of dietary restrictions and they worked hard to make sure everyone had something tasty to eat. Our server was also fantastic. We will be back again!

Hosted a pre wedding welcoming party for my son’s wedding. Cold, windy June evening, but heaters kept us very cozy. The food @ drinks were delish; the white lights, foliage, reception style service provided a fabulous ambiance. Val helped plan every step (long distance) with a wonderfully personal approach & Ricardo was THE host & bartender extraordinaire ! He played the bride’s Spotify playlist. He was a wonderful addition to our group ! We even got to hang out with the Patio cat ! The very eclectic & lovely blonde girl with a beautiful accent greeted us so warmly & escorted all guests to our outdoor space. I so wish I could remember her name !

Visiting town for the weekend and saw this place had a solid google review rating. Before our uber driver dropped us off, he asked, “how did you end up picking this place”. He proceeded to list a number of other restaurants he recommended instead. We should have taken him up on his suggestions.
The restaurant was pretty empty and it took several minutes for anyone to acknowledge me at the check in for my reservation (I found them). There were two other parties on the patio, and they decided to seat us at the only table that was getting wet from the rain and had gum on the seat. We ended up grabbing another table under cover and our server passive aggressively asked if we were expecting more people in our party (the 2 of us moved to a 4 top - again, empty restaurant).
While reviewing the menu, we overheard another table getting upset because they had been waiting for their check for several minutes and were in a hurry.
The ambience was a bit strange because the music was a weird blend techno/house music covers of pop songs at an oddly loud volume. It felt more like a sad nightclub than a restaurant.
The food wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t good. The staff didn’t acknowledge us after we received our meals, but we noticed them sitting around on their cellphones a few feet away from our table (which was kind of weird bc we were the only table outside at this point and there are more discreet places to do that).
Also, there was a free roaming cat hanging out inside the restaurant. That’s probably some sort of health code violation, right?
The busser was super friendly though!

Thank you to Val and the team at The Patio for helping make our mini wedding so special. The food was absolutely amazing—everyone complimented it, including my vegetarian family members and guests who aren’t usually fans of American food! Val helped us choose the perfect menu during our tasting and was incredibly accommodating with last-minute changes and decoration requests. I would highly recommend The Patio!
Beautiful patio area in back and some tables with full sun in the front. Very friendly staff and great food! Their beer selection could be a bit better, but overall the experience was great! Great for a romantic date, business drinks or even just grabbing a bite on your own.

We hosted a private party here and had an amazing experience from start to finish! The staff was incredibly accommodating—especially with guests who needed to be seated indoors. They made sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of.
The food was outstanding! The braised ribs were unbelievably tender and flavorful, and the charcuterie board was beautifully arranged and delicious. Every bite was a hit with our group.
A special mention goes to the bartender, who was not only kind and attentive but also joined in the celebration by clapping enthusiastically when the guest of honor made her entrance. It was such a thoughtful touch that really made the moment special.
Highly recommend this place for any small events or gatherings. Great food, warm service, and an all-around wonderful atmosphere!

The service was great. The hostess was friendly and seated us very soon after arriving. Our server was attentive, friendly, and brought our food in a timely manner. The patio area where we sat was cozy and comfortable. The food was delicious!

I don’t typically write bad reviews, but my fiance and I sat at this restaurant for 20 minutes with no one greeting us at our table, no menus dropped off, and no water.
We had to get up and ask for menus and still no one came for over 10 minutes. I’m a reasonable person, but the amount of time we waited was excessive.
We ended up leaving and going to another place nearby and got incredible service right away.

Truly some of the most mediocre food I’ve ever had. Also some of it was downright inedible. The chicken sandwich tasted like fish, was cold, and the slaw and juice on it made me nauseous. The drinks were cocktail at prices but dive bar quality. Burger tasted like something you’d get at an amusement park. I truly cannot fathom why this place has good reviews, except that straight people just don’t love themselves.
