Best Places to Dine Outside

Dining alfresco has always held allure, whether on a blanket in the park or a quaint table for two on a restaurant patio. And now there’s a lot more of it. A solution to social distancing for many restaurants in close quarters was to build out. Adele’s transformed part of their parking lot into a patio, Edley’s added more outdoor seating at their 12th South location, Cafe Rakka in Hendersonville added tables and hung flowers in their outdoor area, and Lockeland Table added tables on a former sidewalk on the side of the building. Cole’s Kitchen in Green Hills (formerly Firefly) also turned their parking lot into outdoor seating. Fresh air never tasted so good.
