Dining outside is a favorite summertime activity for our real estate agents, who are always scoping out restaurants with beautiful patios and outdoor seating. We can tell you there is no shortage of options on Long Island. From casual eateries to white tablecloth dining, our local restaurants know how to create a compelling outdoor dining experience, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the weather. Here is a quick list of our top 5 favorite patios.
- Copperhill - 234 Hillside Avenue, Williston Park, NY 11596
Dig into your favorite American entree at this popular restaurant located in a renovated landmark farmhouse. In addition to its locally sourced food, one of the best parts about Copperhill is its beautiful patio dining room that creates the perfect combination of rustic and elegance. For dinner, we recommend the Hanger Steak, which is topped with romesco, salsa verde, and served with a side of asparagus.
- Smuggler Jack's - 157 Forest Ave, Massapequa, NY 11758
The patio at Smuggler Jack's sits right on the Schmidt Canal, so you can enjoy stunning views of the water during your meal which creates a really nice atmosphere for a birthday party or celebration. This waterfront restaurant serves classic American fare, delicious seafood, and tasty pasta fishes, and an excellent brunch on the weekends. Best of all, it's conveniently located near some of our favorite Massapequa homes for sale.
- The View - 111 Lattingtown Rd, Glen Cove, NY 11542
Nothing complements gourmet food more than a beautiful patio view. The View Grill has four dining rooms, but we recommend sitting on the upscale covered patio that offers gorgeous views of the nearby golf course. It's a great spot for a relaxing lunch, dinner, or special event. The menu features a nice mix of seafood, pasta, and American entrees, plus they have a wide variety of wines and cocktails.
- Salt - 3100 Whaleneck Dr, Merrick, NY 11566
If you love dining on the water, the patio at Salt is the place for you this summer. Enjoy fresh seafood and a raw bar while gazing at the Easy Bay. The ambiance is second to none! For dinner, we recommend the Crusted Halibut or the Caribbean Salmon. If you really want to impress a date or celebrate a loved one, a summer evening at this Long Island eatery is the way to do it. Luckily, it's conveniently located near these Merrick homes for sale.
- The Lake House - 135 Maple Ave, Bay Shore, NY 11706
As far as outdoor patios go, it's hard to top The Lake House. One of Long Island's finest restaurants features a tremendous deck overlooking the Great South Bay. Seating is spacious, and the views are stunning. Every evening, the deck is illuminated with garden lights which adds an extra touch of elegance. When it comes to cuisine, you can enjoy some of the freshest seafood on the island.
