"I rate this place 4 out of 5 stars because the desserts are really hit or miss. I would say most desserts are above average, some are out of this world, and the rest are not very good at all. I have been here a few times and this is my first review of the place.Let me start by saying there are a lot of tables inside and it gets very crowded after dinner time. There are not many sit-in dessert places on bell blvd so many people come here. You may be inches away from the next table but the seating is comfortable and turnover is quick.This particular time that I went, I ordered a slice of berry pie with ice cream and a slice of triple chocolate mousse cake. The berry pie had a crumb top which was nice and toasty. The berries gave the pie a nice tart flavor while the crumb topping added a nice textural component. The flavors of the pie complemented the scoop of vanilla ice cream. The mix of warm and cold and tart and sweet is just amazing. The triple chocolate mousse is made of a layer of white chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate mousse sandwiched in between layers of dark chocolate cake. I typically do not enjoy desserts that are overly chocolately but somehow this cake breaks that rule. All 3 chocolate mousse layers as well as the cake are rich in chocolate flavor without being achingly sweet. I don’t think I could have finished the piece in one sitting but the few bites I had were heavenly."

As soon as you step through the doors, you're greeted by an eclectic mix of rustic décor and cozy furnishings, all carefully curated to evoke a sense of nostalgia. The warm lighting casts a soft glow over the space, enhancing the intimate atmosphere and inviting guests to settle in for a memorable dining experience. Upon perusing the menu, one dish immediately caught my eye—the CAJUN CHICKEN KABOB. I decided for the Single Cajun Skewer, complete with succulent chicken, vibrant green peppers, and onions, all served over a bed of flavorful Jambalaya Rice. This dish promised a tantalizing blend of flavors and textures, and it did not disappoint. From the moment the dish arrived at my table, I knew I was in for a treat. The aroma of Cajun spices filled the air, whetting my appetite and setting the stage for a culinary adventure. Each bite was a symphony of flavors, with the tender chicken perfectly complemented by the smoky char of the grill and the zesty kick of the Cajun seasoning. The accompanying Jambalaya Rice added a hearty element to the dish, infused with the rich flavors of shrimp, chicken Andouille sausage, and vegetables. To round out the meal, a side of crisp cole slaw and warm pita bread provided the perfect accompaniments, adding a refreshing crunch and a touch of indulgence to each bite. Every element of the dish was executed with precision and care, showcasing the culinary expertise of the kitchen staff. My experience at The Patio was nothing short of exceptional. The vintage charm of the space, combined with the outstanding cuisine, made for a dining experience that I won't soon forget.
