Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Lake Orion

I met with an old friend at Da Francesco today, and it was perfect reunion. We had excellent service, delicious food and enjoyed a beautiful holiday ambience

Food was outstanding. Server was terrific but timing was slow. We were there 3 hours, which was probably about 30 min more than it should have been. It was fine because it's a beautiful place and the server never made us feel forgotten- she was very attentive - I just think the kitchen was slow.

Our advice is: dont put too much effort on deciding, as everything is absolutely amazing! We've been coming here everytime we came to Detroit since 2022 and we've seen our share of new dishes everytime... and tried them. No regrets whatsoever!

Everything as usual was perfect except that the wait person helping our waiter was much too eager to clear the table while one of the women in our party was still eating. He should know that you do not remove plates or silverware until all in the group are finished eating. He attempted to take her plate 2 times before she was finished.

We celebrated the 33rd anniversary of our first date here where we were 33 years ago. It was a beautiful evening for drinks and dessert on the deck. Our server did an outstanding job.
