Must-Visit Outdoor Restaurants for Warm-Weather Dining | Laffey Real Estate

Eating out is always a treat, and when the weather's warm, head to a great local restaurant around Long Island that offers outdoor dining. Food just has a way of tasting better outdoors, and you'll be able to enjoy the fresh air and nice weather in a relaxing atmosphere. Our real estate agents recommend the following must-visit outdoor restaurants for warm-weather dining.

  • Mangia Bene Ristorante - 624 Middle Neck Road, Great Neck, NY 11023
    If you're craving classic Italian dishes, head to Mangia Bene Ristorante, a restaurant located near Great Neck homes for sale. Sit inside or outside at their cozy tables and chairs and order a pizza like the Quattro Stagioni (four seasons), which comes with tomato basil sauce, fresh mozzarella, artichoke hearts, black olives, imported prosciutto, and sliced mushrooms. You can also customize your order by building your own off-menu pizza. If you're in the mood for something different, you can't go wrong with a stromboli or calzone. 

  • Bosphorus Cafe Grill - 138 Shore Road, Port Washington, NY 11050
    Head to Bosphorus Cafe Grill, located just around the corner from Port Washington homes for sale, for authentic Turkish cuisine served in an inviting atmosphere. And when the weather's nice, you can dine outside at one of the restaurant's tables with umbrellas. The food is prepared using the freshest ingredients possible and includes appetizers, entrees, and desserts so you can enjoy the full Turkish dining experience. Start your meal with an appetizer like the Lavas Hollow Bread, a made-to-order puffy bread creation. Then, choose an entree such as one of their many kebab options, and follow it up with the Kunefe, a dessert with shredded wheat, melted cheese, chopped pistachios, and aromatic syrup. 

  • Cooper Bluff - Oyster Bay Marine Center, 5 Bay Ave., Oyster Bay, NY 11771 
    Get to Cooper Bluff by foot, car, or boat and sit outside for gorgeous views of Oyster Bay. You'll have your choice of firepit tables, high tops, and picnic tables at the restaurant near Oyster Bay homes for sale. Treat yourself to a refreshing cocktail or spiked slushie like the Ankers Vodka Pink Lemonade or a Tooker Ave. Front Porch Peach Tea, made with Jack Daniels, Deep Eddy sweet tea, Deep Eddy Peach, and lemonade. For food options, try the Lobster Roll, Blackened Salmon Sandwich, or Meeting House Burger.

  • Hendrick's Tavern - 1305 Old Northern Blvd., Roslyn, NY 11576
    Located in a restored estate home built in 1740, Hendrick's Tavern is located close to Roslyn homes for sale. The restaurant offers a special, upscale atmosphere with indoor dining in rooms with touches like classic photos, antique mirrors, and burgundy leather banquets, or you can choose to enjoy the fresh air and warm weather on the outdoor patio. Entrees like many steaks and chops will tempt your tastebuds, or select one of the specialty dishes like Crispy Cornish Hen or Braised Short Ribs.

  • Cena 081 - 103 Post Ave., Westbury, NY 11590
    Cena 081
    serves Neapolitan cuisine indoors as well as outdoors on a large patio, half of which is covered. Some of the uncovered tables at the restaurant, located near Westbury homes for sale, have large umbrellas, and the space even has a full outdoor movie screen. When it's time to order, try a delicious pasta dish like Specialita dello Chef Francesco, which features linguine with arugula pistachio pesto topped with crispy speck (cured, lightly smoked ham).
