Anyone have a list of which restaurants are open for sit down, and whether they have seating outdoors, indoors, or both?
Would like to start going out again.

Here's what I got so far:

Dairy:
Cafoterria - Should have outdoors
Cream - Should have outdoors
Kalamata - Outdoors
Pizzano-
Ottimo-
Upper Crust-
Sushi Nation -
Kava -
Circa -
Panini Cafe -
Out To Lunch -
Fish Grill -

Meat:
Bun - Outdoors
Eat-A-Pita - Outdoors
Entree - Indoors only 🤫
Estreia - Believe they have both
Revolve-
Prime 95 -
Glatt Bite -
Yapchik -
Kosher Chinese -
Sushi Express -
South Side Sandwich Shop -
Snaps -
Keepshuto -
I went to Dougie’s in Deal this week (JSOR is recommended by CRC again) and it was very pleasant. Outdoor seating only, there are 5 tables in the parking lot, not full but there were people there the whole time.

I understand entree is probably the best meat restaurant in town, but from their website it doesn’t seem like they’re open for lunch. Any other suggestions of a nice meat restaurant open for lunch? Need good food, I don’t like wasting my time & money on a place that’s not good. Not looking for a burger/fast food place. Deal is also an option.

IIRC, the Revolve is open earlier, but double check to make sure.

Food is very good, IMO. Ambiance is nice, but it's a little small (and sometimes crowded).

I'm sure others can weigh in with their opinions, or suggestions for menu picks.

Why don't you tell your friend to ask himself. If he's embarrassed, he can just say "asking for a friend."
