Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Arboretum

Visiting from Chicago! My brother, sister-in-law, father and I made reservations for dinner yesterday evening. Reservation was easy. We arrived and were seated in a timely manner. Our server Kevin was fantastic and attentive. My ribeye was perfect. Same for my brother. My Dad had the lamb…again, perfect. Spinach was great. Asparagus was a bit overcooked. Mashed potatoes were divine. My sister-in-law had the pasta with shrimp but said it was cold and she didn’t eat it (had it packed up). She didn’t want to complain.

My friend and I had a great dinner at Culinary Dropout on an unseasonably warm December day in TX. We were seated in the outdoor area and the staff turned on the heaters once it became cold outside. Great food and service

We went Christmas Eve. Chris was fantastic. Very nice, courteous and attentive! Food is always reliable and delicious.

We sat outside on a crisp evening. Patio heaters were perfect. Ambiance was magical Christmas outside where children played on the open turf on the lighted courtyard. Appetizers were on point. Drinks were fabulous. Main courses well presented and flavorful. A nice evening to celebrate our new grad!

Our server, Leeann C was incredibly kind. She offered to take our group photo as we were celebrating the Christmas holiday over lunch. When I asked about the soup of the day and told her my favorite was the tomato bisque, she said it wasn't on today's menu but she went to the kitchen and found out the chef's were already preparing it. She subbed it for me to make me happy!
