What is it about dining outside that feels so irresistible and relaxing? Perhaps it transports us to our childhood backyard campouts filled with stories, s’mores, and lots of laugher. Outdoor dining combines the appeal of the unfettered backyard with the civility of chairs, silverware, and glasses, while still celebrating the great outdoors. We invite you to awaken your backyard memories and soak up the sun and enjoy dining al fresco at one of our local eateries.
