Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Downtown

It was our 10th anniversary and we had a good time at Bygone.

had so much fun! came in to a big welcome and lot of smiling faces eager to help at the hostess stand. immediately knew we were going to have a good time. Our waiter was solomon who was awesome. we’d go back just to sit at his table again. Not only was he so knowledgeable about the menu and his recommendations were spot on but he was also super funny! we enjoyed our night so much, it really made our friends birthday a special one.

We went for my birthday last night and it was fabulous. My daughters, ages 4 and 8, love the charcuterie, and did great splitting a Caesar salad and a pasta dish. My husband and I split a steak, and with dessert, it was the perfect meal. 

Lovely evening, delicious food, overpriced (like all Atlas restaurants), but that was something we knew ahead of time! We were willing to spurge. BUT the live musician (a guy with his acoustic guitar) was truly terrible. Too loud, to start with, but worse, he could not sing!! His guitar work was quite competent and if he’d left it there, we could hav Randle’s the volume. But his voice is unpleasant and he managed to make every song (blues, rock, jazz, etc) sound exactly the same. It was painful to hear some favorites distorted. We were relieved when he took a break and they put on perfectly pleasant recorded background music at a reasonable volume.

Food was excellent. We were there at 3pm on a Saturday and there was only one server in the entire restaurant. He was dealing with impatient people, being double and triple-sat multiple times while we were there, and 10+ tables all on his own. So, overall, the service was slow. But, given the circumstances, our server deserves a medal! He was friendly, upbeat, and as attentive as humanly possible with more than 10 tables on his own.
