Keep this list handy this summer! We have rounded up where to eat outdoors, on the patio with your family or a date night!
Before you head out, check to make sure if reservations are needed. Some outdoor seating is first come first served, so you might have a short wait. Don’t forget your sunscreen, we’ve been surprised by a sunburn acquired during a Sunday brunch!
Editor’s Note: Some of these businesses continue to have altered hours, be sure to check their website or social media for current hours before heading out to eat. Email govalleykids@gmail.com or comment below if we missed your favorite spot. Also, we would love to add your feedback. What’s to love about it?
