When the weather starts to cool, our REALTORS® know one of the best ways to enjoy it is to find a cozy outdoor space to experience fine dining. No matter what kind of meal you'd like to try, you have options right on Long Island. Many locally owned restaurants have seasonal patios with warm firepits ready to greet you.

Nassau County homes for sale are probably best known for fresh and delicious seafood, but that's really only the beginning. You can find a little bit of everything here, from classic Americana to Italian, Chinese, and much more. Restaurants with firepits ensure you can savor your outdoor meal even late into the evening.

Suffolk County homes for sale offer a variety of terrific restaurants to choose from. Of course, you can sit pier-side at a wide range of seafood restaurants, but you can also find some of the area's acclaimed farm-to-table and fusion cuisine options. The sky is the limit, and it can all be sampled outdoors.
