A summer picnic, barbeque on the grill, the sun shining just enough to warm your face, but not so bright that its make you squint. Those are meals that settle into our sense memories. You can create that feeling all summer long in these al fresco dining spots.
These restaurants go beyond scraping up a table and chairs to put outside. They go all-out on the sidewalk, rooftop or patio to make a meal feel like a mini summer vacation. The feel of dining outside is part of the decision to go there.
