Do you like to dine outside?

[Lady Godiva]

Not just at your home but at restaurants? I love eating on the deck at home and I love outside seating at restaurants Provided the weather is right, I just think eating outside is so cool

 

[DizneeMommy]

Yep! We have a screened porch and eat most of our meals out there in the summer. I enjoy eating outdoors at restaurants as long as the bugs are under control!

I didnt think I would like it but I was at Vegas a month ago and did it all the time and I just loved it, anit so

I do not mind eating outside at home but for some reason I do at restuarants.

 

[Goofyluver]

As long as it's not too cold or hot. Love it.

Why do you think that is?

 

[AKL_Megs]

I LOVE eating on our deck, and on patios at restaurants. My DH isn't a huge fan, but he occasionally goes along!

I love eating outdoors. Some places around here have beautiful outdoor dining settings. I especially like eating near or on the water. Just make sure I have some 'off' wipes in case of mosquitoes. Summer is great!

Depends on where the restaurant is located, there aren't too many around here where I enjoy it but I love eating outside when we are at the shore.

No. While I do enjoy an occasional picnic and eating on our deck at home, when I'm at restaurants I want to be inside.

I have friends who will always choose outside, even when the view is a parking lot. It drives me nuts, because even though they're the ones who want to "sit in the sun," it seems like I always end up being the one sitting in a sunbeam. I don't like hot!

 

[Uncle Remus]

Um, I'll eat most anywhere.

 

[LilyWDW]

No, I hate eating a meal outside. A snack or even a hot dog is okay... but if it is a sit down meal I want to be inside.

that how I was until my last vacation, if you go to a nice restaurant, they have a great view, no bugs, might even pipe in a/c if hot, its real romantic

 

[LBIJim]

Absolutely never at a restaurant.

Outside eating is OK at someone's bar-b-que, or maybe at the State Fair, or a slice of pizza on the Boardwalk. But for a better meal,

Jim

Nope, I really don't. I don't like sharing my dining area with bugs, and I'm scared to death of hornets. I swear they know it and come mess with me when I'm trying to eat. I get over it in certain places, but I won't choose to do it on purpose. My best friend and I argue about this all the time. Not heated arguments, just friendly bickering. We both have nice large decks with pleasant views (trees, anyhow, no street view at either house) and she always wants to eat outside if the weather is nice. I generally refuse.

 

[AnnaS]

It depends on the weather and bugs.

 

[MIGrandma]

We eat outside sometimes on our deck here at home in the summer, and eat outside a lot at our property up north when we go camping but I can't think of any restaurants around here that have outdoor seating. Maybe that's more popular in warmer weather states, I don't know. I think it would be nice though, especially in the evening.

 

[princesshannahsmom]

In Florida, during the summer, HECK NO!!! I wouldn't be able to enjoy my food. During the cooler months, maybe, I haven't tried it though, because we don't have many cooler months!!!

The allure of the outside is declining in my estimation. We recently went hiking on Cape Ann. We love hiking. However, I came home with a number of mosquito bites, despite a thorough dousing with repellent, and between the itching and what felt like a tinge of venom sickness, hiking just doesn't seem worth it, as compared to the past. And hiking is something that you simply must do outdoors; eating is not. I enjoy a(n inside) table by a big picture window as much as an outdoor table, if not more.

If the situation is exactly right, I enjoy it very much... But when we eat outdoors the situation is rarely exactly right (too hot, too cold, too windy, too many bugs, somebody smoking, etc.) so I usually opt for an indoor table.
