Best Outdoor Patio: This Week’s Readers’ Choice
Besides your backyard, tell us what restaurant has the best dining outdoors.
The weather is shaping up for outdoor dining with family and friends. Eating outdoors is a great way to welcome in summer while enjoying a good meal and relaxing.
We’ve got to take advantage while we can — in Northeast Ohio, there only seems to be a few months to enjoy an outdoor patio.
This week's Readers' Choice focuses on the Best Outdoor Patio.
Beginning today — Sunday, May 13 — and through 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 16, we'll be asking for your recommendations for places to go with outdoor patios.
Give us your recommendation in the comments section below. With your help, we'll put together a list of nominees. Then look for our poll on Thursday, May 17 and vote! We'll select a winner at 5 p.m. Friday, May 18 and announce it in a story on Saturday, May 20.
In judging, we'll consider comments, poll votes and reviews in our complete directory of local businesses.
Be sure to check out our contest rules in the PDF at right.

The old BW3's on Franklin has the best deck and dining. Plus the food is best in town. It is a nice place to go on the weekends and of course during the week also. Since the students are gone we go several times a week.

Water street tavern in Kent gives an awesome bar atmosphere on their outdoor rooftop patio... Plus they have heaters up there if it gets chilly.
