The best table in the house this time of year usually isn’t in the house at all. From covered patios and garden courtyards to rooftop terraces and poolside setups, these five Brown Harris Stevens listings showcase some of our favorite places to dine al fresco this season.

Good food deserves a good view. Set on 10 private acres in Old Chatham, Cedar Hill offers an outdoor dining setup that pairs every meal with sweeping mountain views and the beauty of the Hudson Valley.

Sunshine, a passing summer shower, or a cool evening by the fire, this Southampton retreat has it covered. A pergola with dining and sitting rooms, ceiling fans, a fireplace, and an outdoor kitchen island creates the ultimate space for outdoor entertaining.

Dining al fresco takes on a distinctly Palm Beach feel here. Framed by tropical landscaping and a pool, this in-town retreat offers the perfect setting for a home-cooked meal or takeout from Worth Avenue.

The menu may change, but the view never gets old. Perched atop The Solaria, this penthouse rooftop terrace offers a spectacular setting for dining al fresco, with views of the city and non-stop vistas of the Hudson River and the Palisades.

A table with a Central Park view is hard to beat. Perched atop Fifth Avenue’s Museum Mile, this penthouse terrace offers a memorable setting for dining al fresco, with panoramic views of Central Park, the reservoir, and the Manhattan skyline.
