Well, we’re trying this outdoor thing again. Much of the Bay Area shut down outdoor dining last December, and recently allowed restaurants to re-re-open their patios and parklets, and we want to provide you with the most up-to-date information. This guide has over 300+ spots where you can dine al fresco (please wear a mask and be mindful of safety protocols), and we’ll continue to add more restaurants as they reopen.
If we missed a spot, we’d love to hear from you - email us at sanfrancisco@theinfatuation.com.
