Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Tinley Park

Gibson's never, ever disappoints. It seems the food and service only get better with the passage of time!

We had reservations and were seated immediately. Water came quickly and we ordered sausage and peppers, the warm Brie with apples, and the arugula salad with pine nuts. Everything was delicious, the Brie was served in a mini cast iron skillet so it stayed melted. I had the whitefish, it was cooked perfectly and covered with asparagus, mushrooms, and artichokes, it was so good! My daughter had the risotto special with chicken, pesto and artichokes and her boyfriend had the seafood pasta, both were excellent! The service was attentive, it could not have been a better experience!

What a pleasure it is to have an experienced, mature wait staff that knows the menu and is constantly reading the room for what guests may need and when. Several people around us were celebrating special occasions (including us) whose meals were capped by a beautiful message in chocolate on a dessert plate of chocolate brownie with a candle. Every dish we had was special (other than the Veal Milanese, which had a dijon base that I didn't love.). The room is buzzy, cozy, handsome. A special note: the restaurant is closing for two weeks which left them without a couple of dishes on the menu. Guests who couldn't order what they wanted were treated very thoughtfully by the wait staff and management. Deft handling of an awkward situation.

The whole experience exceeded our expectations. Joshua, our server, was phenomenal and had great recommendations. The grilled broccolini salad was mind-blowing! The atmosphere within the restaurant was personal and warm. It was not too loud or too quiet. Every table has a gorgeous view of the city and river. Definitely a splurge experience, but so worth it.

Frankie's NEVER disappoints!! The Valentine's Kids' Night was so much fun and so beautifully planned and executed. My kiddos LOVED the special kids drinks, the coloring sheets, all the decor and little details that made it special for kids. The adults also had many fun choices for specialty Valentine's drinks and desserts, too. As a parent, I really appreciate such an incredible restaurant having these types of events for kids and families. Excellent service as always, absolutely delicious food!!
