Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Florence

Otto’s was a fabulous dinner. We had to schedule for a 9 PM dinner time because of work schedules. But the dinner and ambience was marvelous. Service was exceptional. Recommendations and explanation of food was terrific. Everyone felt very comfortable with what they ordered. We have been were able to get a wonderful mocktail for the younger people in the party. The menu has a nice variety that could meet all dietary needs. The atmosphere is a cozy elegance. I will definitely return because of such an exceptional experience.

Friends from Ohio asked about going here recently, so we decided to take them. It’s not far from our house, but there are so many restaurants in the Boone County, KY area that it doesn’t come to mind. The friends LOVED everything about Tousey! The food, the ambiance the service were all on point. They even declared the Fried Chicken to be better than The Old Mill in Gatlinburg! In such a tough season for restaurants, with several closing for good, I’m hoping this place remains!

Everyone involved was wonderful from the hostess to the young guy who gave us water and our server!!!!!

We were there Saturday reservation 11 AM. They got us right to our table. They are family friendly got to see Santa with a six-year-old special-needs child. Other families were there too. Thank you for the wonderful hosts in the front, our waitress and the manager Darrell for their hospitality. If you prefer not to be around the children, the restaurant is so big. There’s lots of other quiet places to sit.

As always, Somm Wine Bar and Kitchen hits the mark. We took friends from our “East End” neighborhood just outside of downtown and what a “win”. Such an easy route, there in minutes, avoiding delays of other more complicated rates, especially now. Somm is top notch. I’m betting you’ll be excited about this one. We loved everything about our evening.
