The Best Restaurant Patios In Oakland - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"The upside to a reservation on the patio at this upscale-ish Salvadoran restaurant: you’re in prime hearth-viewing position, so you can watch their seasonal pupusas get slapped and fire-roasted. Adding to the charm of the Old Oakland patio are string lights and the smell of fire, setting the stage for a delicious braised chicken covered in sweet-sour fermented pineapple sauce, a life-changing tamal, and smoked-to-order whiskey cocktails. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - julia chen 1, lani conway
