Wide open place settings
Milwaukee is filled with restaurants that take advantage of the warm-weather months by offering outdoor dining. But any place can set up a few tables on the sidewalk. MKE spotlights five eateries that put a twist on al fresco dining with their hidden or off-the-beaten-path patio or rooftop eating areas. Plus, we list five unusual outdoor dining spots and round up 85 restaurants that offer outdoor dining.

On the cover: There's no arguing, this is a great table, but golfers at Gastrau's Golf Center in Oak Creek might object to your dining plans.
