"A large outdoor fireplace and a covered area keep the patio at The Dawson open year-round. Surrounded by plants and strung with lights, there’s plenty of room for parties or group gatherings. Get warm from the inside out with old-fashioned and hearty fare like wood-fired pork chop served with smoked cheddar grits or rigatoni with vodka sauce and whipped ricotta. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Samantha Nelson
