Dine outside all summer at the 100 best al fresco restaurants in the U.S.
OpenTable has announced its list of the best-reviewed restaurants where you can dine al fresco.
Summer dining isn’t just about the food, it’s about the view.
Why waste the good, warm weather by always dining inside? Now that the sun is out, foodies love to take advantage of the season by finding as many places to eat with some comfortable outdoor patios, gardens, backyards and best views they can possibly find while they feast.
OpenTable, the online restaurant reservations platform, unveiled the 100 Best Al Fresco Dining Restaurants in America for 2017 using 10 million restaurant reviews submitted by verified OpenTable diners for more than 25,000 restaurants in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
“The popularity of these restaurants speaks to diners’ desire for their culinary adventures to also include picturesque views, garden patios, urban vistas and overall just a bit of nature and open-air,” said Caroline Potter, OpenTable’s chief dining officer, in a statement.
It’s going to be a nice, long summer, so there are plenty of chances to try them all. Perhaps it’s time for a road trip.
