"With large fire pits, cabana-like seating, and plenty of tall trees and hanging lanterns, Suraya in Fishtown has one of the best patios in Philadelphia. And because of this, you’ll have to make a reservation before diving into a mezze plate full of things like baba ganoush and smooth hummus or a tender ribeye perfect for passing around the table. The Lebanese spot’s patio is also spacious enough that when you bring a big group here, you won’t overhear people talking about their most recent bad date or how the Phillies will never win it all." - candis mclean
