Sign in Using FacebookOutdoor Dining: Enjoy Summer Before It Ends
As distressing as the pronouncement is to hear, summer is coming to a close and, with it, the freedom of warm-weather play. In these waning weeks of the season, make the most of al fresco dining. We're showing off a clutch of our favorite restaurants that offer great terraces or incredible views. Better yet, they're set along the water, upping the ante on a terrific combination of fantastic food and spectacular vistas.
Make them a destination tonight, or consider them for a farewell-to-summer dinner. To help you with the seasonal transition, we're also sharing flavor-packed recipes that you can prepare on your own grill. At home and away, 10Best has you covered!

Canoe – Atlanta, GAVININGS. Located on the Chattahoochee River where Buckhead meets the historic Vinings area, this romantic restaurant is a wonderful choice for special dinners and celebrations. The lush gardens outside, along with the vaulted ceilings and intricate decor inside, set the scene for a fabulous meal. Award-winning seasonal American cuisine is creatively prepared and artistically presented. Try the Georgia mountain trout with Anson Mills' grits, or for brunch, pheasant ragout with two sunnyside eggs. (© 10Best) 
One of the most romantic restaurants in town, this award-winner glows with old brick walls, an airy ceiling, and a prime location on the edge of the shimmering Chattahoochee River. When the weather accommodates, request a cozy patio table, or at least an inside window seat, to watch the stars reflect on the water. The roasted Carolina rabbit entree is a delicious perennial indulgence. (from Southern Living)
