    It would be nice to know how many of these still have outside dining now that covid cases are climbing again.
    Petit Louis Bistro no longer has outside dining.

      Sorry that I missed this comment! Many do, but their setups are all different. I’m working on updating my Google sheet noting outdoor and if they are covered and/or heated. It is changing constantly, of course!
