Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Turtle Creek / Oak Lawn

I haven't been in awhile due to the temperature in the restaurant being so cold and the waiters were so uninterested in waiting in you. but I'm glad a gave it another chance. Temperature was reasonable and the staff amazing. Bill

Treated my wife to a day date. From the moment we walked in, the hostess at the host stand was welcoming and our server Jordan was outstanding with his recommendations. I had the Chicken Parm with the vodka sauce and my wife had the blackened pork chops. We both were surprised at the large portions. The ambience was very inviting. Our only negative review would be the dessert. We wanted the chocolate cake fondue to be warmer and we thought it was too rich. We couldn’t finish it. It was delicious but way too rich for us. Overall, great value, tasty menu and great service. We can’t wait to go back.

We had a great dinner at Te Deseo. I made reservations before a concert at AAC and it was an easy walk from the parking lot and then to the concert. Our server and the manager were helpful in picking items for us to share. The charred octopus and the fried rice were our favorites! The cocktails were great and we enjoyed the ambiance. We all agreed we’d come back, especially prior to an event at AAC.

Absolutely delighted with my experience at Bistro 31! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Michael and the entire team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and they were knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. The food was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish was crafted with care, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The flavors were so well-balanced, it was evident that the kitchen prides itself on quality ingredients and expert preparation. I also appreciated the cozy yet elegant ambiance of the restaurant—perfect for a night out with friends or a romantic dinner. Michael and his team clearly know how to create a memorable dining experience. I can't wait to return and enjoy another exceptional meal! Highly recommend Bistro 31 for anyone seeking top-notch food and service!

I really love this restaurant. The food, the atmosphere and the staff are always amazing. Thank you all so much!
