Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Benicia

Excellent food. Tuna tacos and empanadas 🙌🏾 will return

We ate dinner at The Hideout Kitchen on New Years Day for the first time and it was a lovely experience. We had the honey fried chicken which came with mashed potatoes and sauteed kale. Very yummy! There are very few restaurants in the East Bay with great fried chicken, and this is one of them. Not greasy, just crispy and so flavorful. Large portions. We skipped dessert but the choices looked delicious. Our server was fantastic but unfortunately I don’t have her name. Really impressed with her. The ambiance is relaxing and elegant with bookshelves holding old books and a vintage vibe. We will be back!

Lovely dinner. My mom enjoyed the food, the food reminded her of food my grandmother cooked

Always a treat. Due to inclement weather, everyone was inside, causing an energetic atmosphere. Staff was hopping, but very cordial. Despite the volume, the quality of food was excellent.

We really enjoyed our lunch at Bella Siena. The filet beef carpaccio was amazing! We had a variety of dishes (gnocchi pesto, lobster ravioli, frutti di mare, pappardelle) at our table of 5 and a couple people had special requests (such as no tomatoes or no salmon in the Frutti do Mare) and the restaurant was happy to make adjustments to any meal. All pasta tasted homemade! In addition to having a fantastic meal, the restaurant has a very nice view of the water from the dining area. I’d definitely recommend Bella Siena if you want quality Italian food! We will definitely be back.
