We are celebrating my mom's 60th birthday. Do you know of any great outdoor restaurants near Cincinnati?

Question

I am willing to go anywhere in Cincinnati, including Northern Kentucky and Eastern Indiana. Thanks.

Answer 1

Joe's Crab shack.

I believe Applebees and TGIF both closed down.

Answer 2

I haven't been there in a while, but there are some great outdoor cafes in Mount Adams and in Hyde Park in Cincinnati.

The Mount Adams Pavillion was always one of my favorites. Also, the Celestial (sp?). Check out http://www.cincinnatihome.org/neighborho... for more information on the area.

Also, Covington, KY has  Mainstrasse Village with several outdoor cafes. http://www.mainstrasse.org/

Good luck!

Answer 3

If the weather is nice enough, a seat on a riverboat along the river is nice. Kentucky has several restaurants along the river with breathtaking views of the cincinnati skyline.

Don Pablos is a nice start, Applebees, TGI Fridays.... all right near the 'Big Mac' bridge.

Answer 4

Do you like Thai food?  Arloi Dee in Mason has great food, and a large outdoor eating area.

There is also Valley Vineyards in Morrow or Vinkolet Winery in Colerain.  These places are exactly the same concept.  They grow and produce their own wines, and you go there and buy a dinner package, which involved them giving you a piece of steak (or some other choices), and you cook it yourself on the grills they have going over some large fires, and you get salad, dessert, and your choice of their wine with your dinner.  So there are those two places.

I know you can eat outside at the Don Pablo's in West Chester, off of Union Center.  Also the Brazenhead pub in West Chester off of Tylersville Road.

Are you having a whole to of people to the party?  If so, the trick will be getting the restaurant to give you a large amount of their outsdoor space.  I'd suggest calling ahead and working out the details, no matter which one you choose.
