Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Lakewood

The table bread had a fantastic crust with an amazing crunch, but the inside of the bread was soft and chewy, and just so delicious. It came with dipping sauce that included roasted garlic, which was to die for. We had the sacchetti as an appetizer and it was just as delicious as the bread. For our meals, we had the Bolognese and the tortellini and both were so delicious. The portion sizes were good, but not ridiculously large. The amount of protein included was generous. The pasta was delightful. For dessert we had the tiramisu and the mousse and both were a spectacular ending to a spectacular meal. The service was perfect, she took the time to chat a little here and there but never hovered. The noise level was a little louder than I’d prefer but not obnoxiously so. We will definitely eat here again. 

We had a fantastic experience at Acqua Di Dea! The ambiance was modern and inviting, setting the perfect tone for our night. We opted for the Valentine’s Day tasting menu, and every course was artfully presented and absolutely delicious. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable, explaining each dish in detail and making spot-on wine recommendations. From start to finish, it was an unforgettable dining experience—we can’t wait to return!

Once again, my husband and I had a fabulous dining experience at Sarita!! The scallops were tender and succulent; the ostrich was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Our server was attentive and efficient. Well done, Tony and team!! You never disappoint! Charlotte & Rip Noble

We made a reservation here as we were heading to a show and were in the neighborhood. We loved the ambiance with the dark ceilings and windows. The menu had enough diversity to satisfy our group of 4 and there was a large beer/wine list. Service was super prompt and the food portions were generous and delicious. Would definitely return if we were in the area again.
