Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Baldwin Park

One of the best recent dining experiences I’ve had in LA. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was great.

We celebrated Valentine’s Day here and once again it didn’t disappoint! Our waiter was Luciano who we have had the good fortune to have him serve us for the third time. He was not only friendly and efficient in bringing us our food but also made time on a very busy night to listen to my husband’s jokes attentively. We both loved our bacon wrapped filets which were delicious, tender and cooked to medium rare perfectly. The cheese bread continues to be wonderful. The Beringer Cabernet complimented the filets We forgot to bring our bottle of champagne so we opted to bring home our whiskey bread pudding so we could enjoy it with our champagne. The perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Our only regret is that the warm bacon and spinach salad is no longer on the menu so we opted for the French onion soup which was good but we thought it would have been better with some more onions in it. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I enjoyed a fantastic dinner on Valentine's Day. We were seated at our favorite booth in the main dining room. My wife selected Prime Rib, and I had the halibut substituting mashed potatoes for the rice. We began eating at this restaurant when it opened and have enjoyed many wonderful dinners by ourselves with guests. We even hosted a large wedding reception for one of our daughters. The staff keeps this restaurant organized and running perfectly. The wait staff is always helpful and willing to do what is needed to make it a memorable dining event. These days there are painfully few restaurants that are able to consistently deliver a superb dining experience. Fortunately, the Summit House is one that can and does.

The farm cheese is the best at Bavel. My husband and I also love the baba ghanoush (we always need an extra order of fried pita). The grilled dates have a nice kick to it and it was nice to eat a savory date for once. The lamb rack is always cooked to perfection. Our friend always orders the 26 oz ribeye and finishes it during dinner and my husband and I can see why. Nothing at Bavel disappointed us. I would recommend the cashew ice cream bar over the apple prune cake, but you really can't go wrong with either. It was a great dinner! Also every cheese and milk is pasteurized so despite being 6 months pregnant, I could eat everything!

Our dining experience was great. We came to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday. We were accommodated to a lovely table and treated to a birthday dessert. Waiters were very attentive and we loved the heated lamps.
