Outdoor dining still popular

By Jananne Abel

I

t’s summertime, and people have moved outside for everything including eating.

And thus we enjoy picnics, barbecues and dining al fresco at a casual eatery or fine restaurant. Some relish the outdoor eating experience, even when it’s hot, searching out restaurants that provide for it, others wait for the perfect weather to dine outside, while others prefer air conditioning no matter what the weather.

The patio at Café Mirage, the late night eating spot at 531 North Main St., is a popular outdoor venue in Port Chester. Surrounded by a white trellis fence, it has the atmosphere of a French café.

The outdoor dining experience has been growing and changing in Port Chester and Rye Brook over the last five years with the number of restaurants offering a place to eat outside nearly doubling a few years ago and then leveling off. The phenomenon has been catching on thanks to the Port Chester Board of Trustees which has encouraged sidewalk cafés and because savvy restaurateurs have realized it’s the way to go to increase visibility, business and/or add interest to their establishment. It’s also a way to make room for overflow crowds at smaller eateries which can accommodate a much smaller number of patrons the rest of the year.

While a few restaurants that offered outdoor dining in previous years aren’t doing so in 2001 because of the difficulty of providing enough staffing to serve both their indoor and outdoor venue, for the most part others have come on line to take their place.

Some restaurants offer outdoor table service while a number have just placed tables outside for customers who choose to take their food and dine al fresco.

Port Chester Among the most visible outdoor eating areas in Port Chester is the well-landscaped red brick patio in front of Pasquale II Ristorante across from Cumberland Farms at 2 Putnam Ave. Here customers dine at 10 grayish tables with a wrought iron pattern and matching chairs covered with a mixture of forest

green umbrellas and sky blue San Pellegrino sparkling natural mineral water ones. A buffer of shrubs, trees and planters filled with flowers surrounds the patio and helps make for a tranquil setting. Tiny white lights on a white picket fence along the perimeter of the patio also provide ambiance.

Fine Italian cuisine is featured at Pasquale for lunch and dinner— homemade pastas, chicken, veal and seafood as well as fine wines. The lunch menu also includes a handful of sandwiches.

Hours are Tuesday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., Saturday from 3 to 11 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 9 p.m.

The patio at Café Mirage, the late night eating spot at 531 North Main St., is among the more popular outdoor venues in Port Chester.

Here eight white tables and chairs with green and white Brooklyn Brewery and rust Chimay Beer umbrellas, all surrounded by a white trellis fence, help provide the atmosphere of a French café. Potted flowers, flower boxes and candles on the tables add to the charming atmosphere.

Some of the summer specials being offered by proprietor/chef Dave Haggerty at this international eatery, where the full menu is available until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, are Arugula, Grapefruit, Gorgonzola and Pignoli Salad with Poppy Seed Vinaigrette; Spinach Salad with Mixed Tomatoes, Kalamata Olives, Feta, Red Onions

For breakfast you can choose from a variety of egg sandwiches and platters, omelets, French toast, home fries, bacon, sausage, muffins and doughnuts.

Garden Catering is open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.

Also in that neck of the woods, Coyote Flaco at 115 Midland Ave. serves up some of the freshest Mexican food around on the patio in front of the tiny restaurant. It is covered by a bright green awning.

Seating is at an eclectic mix of round and rectangular tables and chairs as well as at green picnic tables with dark green umbrellas.

You can’t top Coyote Flaco’s yummy gazpacho (now offered daily), salmon fajitas or just about any of the Mexican specialties offered here. The cold vegetable soup, Seafood Gumbo, Fajitas Mariachi made with sea bass, salmon and shrimp, Camarones Enchilados (jumbo shrimp topped with mild poblano pepper sauce) and Enchiladas Cancun (corn tortillas stuffed with fresh Maine crabmeat) are among the summer specials. Besides Mexican beer, a whole list of Margueritas is available as well.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

For a few years now, Frank’s Pizzeria Restaurant at 23 Putnam Ave. has joined the group of Port Chester restaurants providing outdoor seating. Three round white resin tables for two have been placed on the sidewalk adjacent to the parking lot. Black and white Coors Light umbrellas and a green Perrier umbrella shade diners from the sun.

However, no service is provided to customers who choose to eat there.

“It’s just a convenience,” said coowner Frank Blasi. “When we’re crowded in here, you can go outside.”

Frank’s offers all types of pizza, pasta, wedges and other Italian specialties with daily specials like Steak Pizzaiola, Scallops and Mussels Marinara or Fra Diavolo with linguini for dinner and Chicken Salad Wrap, French Dip Sandwich and Mussels Marinara over Linguini for lunch. Wraps are new at Frank’s and include grilled chicken with lettuce, tomato, mayo, roasted peppers and honey mustard; steak with
