Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Atwater Village

I just had a group of professional women in business dinner for 8 and our experience was outstanding. The restaurant is so beautiful, warm and such a unique space. It was a beautiful night even in December so it was wonderful to be able to experience the open roof. The service was perfect and truly the food, cocktails and wine 10/10. I cannot say enough great things! Redbird’s wow factor and wonderful and consistent service will make it a restaurant I entertain at for years to come!

From the beginning: The hostesses were super nice upon checking in to our reservation. Drinks & food were phenomenal! Valerie was such an amazing server! We truly had the best time! She was attentive, funny & really sweet. The manager, JR was so nice! He came by to check in& made us feel welcome! We will be coming back again for dinner OR brunch. Thank you all for making my birthday dinner special 😊

The Tam is a classic, well loved restaurant. We’ve been coming here for years enjoying the festive holiday atmosphere and old world charm. Today’s holiday lunch was a disappointment, unfortunately. The service was good, our server was cheerful, friendly and attentive. No issues there. The food however, was not good. The Christmas Turkey was dry and not tender, and the portion was surprisingly small. Three thinly sliced less than two inches wide portions that wouldn’t even fit a sandwich. The stuffing was extremely salty and just not good. It was bad. The vegetables on the side were over cooked and looked like they were thrown on the plate instead of carefully prepared on the plate. I was surprised at the low quality of the food and presentation. My lunch partner was pleased with his meal, the brisket plate, which saved our lunch from being a complete disappointment.

We went for Sunday brunch and sat out on their nice patio. It wasn’t very crowded. We were seated right away and our server came up right away to assist us and she was lovely. We ordered drinks, and espresso martini, and their highlighted cocktail, which was excellent. We ordered the Mediterranean platter and we were able to exchange the Labneh for muhamara since my friend was lactose intolerant. The waitress was very cognizant of that and made sure that nothing had dairy in it. We also ordered the Cleopatra salad and that was really nice. We had the olive oil cake for dessert and it was nice and moist and sweet. Overall, an excellent meal and I hope to be back.

The food is consistently good. The service was top notch. Great vibes, good music. No complaints!
