Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Short North - Arena District

Visited for my boyfriend’s birthday and we had a lovely time. Nathan took great care of us. I highly recommend the crab cakes and tartare. Absolutely delicious and lovely experience.

From the valet, through the softly lit entranceway and view of the patio, to the hostess stand and into the bar to wait for our family, the experience was pleasant and everyone was professional and welcoming. We were seated in a room off the kitchen for our dinner. It was beautiful with fresh hydrangeas, nice lighting and our amazing server, Zach. As he described the menu items, we knew we were in for an authentic Italian dinner. The entire meal was delicious and filled with new tastes and new ingredients that we had not had before. We look forward to visiting their patio in the summer.

Food was amazing as always, and the happy hour deals are the best! The server was kind and the kitchen staff were very careful and conscious of food allergies in our party. We’ll be back!

Keanu was probably one of the best servers I’ve had in recent years. His personality was amazing and he made sure that my girlfriend and I were fully taken care of. My girlfriend is vegetarian, so Keanu recommended the Cauliflower steak which wasn’t on the menu. She absolutely enjoyed it. There were plenty of options on the menu, and many could say there’s too much but I didn’t know what to choose from. Keanu gave me a great recommendation which was the bourbon burger, and I’d have to say it was one of the best burger I’ve ever had. Their wine list is out of this world, and Keanu made sure that we found a glass that would best suite us. I got a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and she got a glass of moscato in which both were very delicious. I’ll highly recommend Keanu to my friends and family, as well as anyone who come into Hyde. You’ll fully enjoy your experience.

Food was good, service was good. Experience was what I expected. I'll definitely be back.
