Best Restaurants for People Watching in Downtown

Fabulous Food and the best service from every staff member. The only downside, was they seated next to us a family group with 3 young children who were permitted to move around their table (and ours) with lots of loud squeals, crying and little intervention from the adults. Very disappointing. Fine for at home behavior but not in fine dining atmosphere.

Probably one of the best fine dining experiences I’ve had in awhile. From the host to the waiter everyone was extremely nice and pleasant. Food and drinks were immaculate! Ambiance was absolutely amazing! The ladies room was pleasant surprise. Would highly recommend.

We visited to celebrate the man’s birthday. We arrived early since we planned to visit a couple of other places afterward. When we got there, it was fairly empty, but it didn’t stay that way for long. The space is really spacious. We dined in the main dining room, and the service was excellent. The host, servers, and manager were all very friendly. For appetizers, we ordered the wagyu pigs in a blanket and pepperoni and sausage pizza. I had a shot of tequila, while the man enjoyed an Old Fashioned and an IPA. The appetizers were delicious. I couldn’t decide if I liked the honey mustard crème sauce that came with the pigs in a blanket, but I definitely enjoyed them without the sauce. For our main dishes, we had the roasted salmon and steak frites. The salmon had a perfectly crispy top layer and was cooked to a perfect medium. It was delicious! It came with butternut squash farro, which I wasn’t sure how I felt about, but it was interesting. The steak frites were flavorful and also cooked to a perfect medium. Very tasty. Unfortunately, we had no room left for dessert. We spent about $190, including the tip. After we paid, we went to check out the rooftop. It was stunning—spacious, with tables and seating perfectly arranged to showcase the beautiful city skyline and lights. We grabbed two more drinks at the bar and soaked in the view, spending another $35 with tip. We would definitely return and plan to opt for rooftop dining next time. Highly recommend!

We had a great dinner at Te Deseo. I made reservations before a concert at AAC and it was an easy walk from the parking lot and then to the concert. Our server and the manager were helpful in picking items for us to share. The charred octopus and the fried rice were our favorites! The cocktails were great and we enjoyed the ambiance. We all agreed we’d come back, especially prior to an event at AAC.

Nice experience for a good Saturday outing. We ended up not dining at the scout but rather had drinks and played games. It was not crowded due to the time we arrived. Perfect Sunday meet up spot.
