Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Edgewater

We had a fantastic experience. Our waiters were thoughtful and attentive. We took the advice to have the daily special and it was fabulous. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

North Pond is an absolute gem. From the moment we stepped in and gave our name at the host stand, we were warmly welcomed, setting the tone for an exceptional evening. The atmosphere is intimate and inviting, with the beauty of Lincoln Park providing a stunning backdrop. Our server was knowledgeable and engaging, taking the time to walk us through the menu and wine pairings with care and enthusiasm. The tasting menu was nothing short of spectacular—each dish showcased the chef’s creativity and meticulous attention to detail. The flavors were inventive and harmonious, and the wine pairings elevated every course beautifully. My wife and I always cherish our time at North Pond. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience that lingers with you long after the evening ends. If you’re looking for a restaurant that seamlessly blends artistry, flavor, and a sense of place, North Pond is a must-visit.

Great fresh pasta, but the overall taste was missing something. Dessert was very tasty. Service was polite and attentive.

We’ve passed through Eden on multiple occasions, noticed it when taking my Lab to MedVet & Eye Care for Animals. Staffers remembered our Anniversary (week) celebration (I forgot the note on the reservation 😛). We didn’t anticipate the complimentary beverage. Most establishments don’t offer anything these days, we really appreciated the gesture. Drinks are strong, I went w/ Manhattan, wifey w/ Hot Toddy. Food was great. I opted for Burger w/ Fries, wifey ate Duck Banh Mi w/ Eden Salad. I’m not a big fan of Kale but the side Salad was amazing!!

The igloos at Alma were so thoughtfully curated and seasonally fun! The smores lot that you got really made the experience! Our server Jackson was also so kind and helpful. We had a wonderful evening!
