Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Saint Helens

Incredible food. Huevos rancheros were a standout dish.

We went for Sunday brunch. Everything, food, service, atmosphere was absolutely fantastic. There were many selections such as eggs, sausages, breakfast potatoes, biscuits and gravy, fish, and more than I can remember. In addition, there was an omelet station, crepes, prime rib, and ham stations. Also, snow crab, peel your own shrimp. All in all, a wonderful experience. I can't say enough about the service. It was quick, friendly, and efficient. Definitely worth going to.

Excellent food. Staff were welcoming and warm. Waitress was very helpful in marking the menu to show what foods were gluten free. Cider was super tasty. Lamb chops were delectable, highly recommend. 10/10 would visit again.

Love this place. Food and service is consistently good, ambiance is great and the outdoor seating, gardens, heating and fire pits are fantastic. If you like to walk either before or after your reservation, you can walk to either the Ale House (south) or to the Cove (north) along the River and enjoy a drink. Mcmennimins owns all three places and has made the Kalama waterfront a wonderful place to eat, stroll and play.

A perfect dinner (seated at counter) at Nostrana. Went on a Thursday - gnocchi night. I usually don’t choose gnocchi, but am now a convert - so pillowy and tender, and the clam sauce I chose was buttery, seasoned greatness. Our server was friendly, warm, and efficient and suggested an alternative wine by the glass that was from next door that was so good we bought a bottle to take home. Consistently amazing, and impressed my husband for date night.
