I believe it's the part along Walton. I believe the smoking section is around the corner in the alley. I don't know if they change it at night or not.Jim Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854795648150163891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6476058288038685917.post-33427343515969589822009-08-28T10:34:53.513-04:002009-08-28T10:34:53.513-04:00blue tusk crossed my mind. and it probably deserve...blue tusk crossed my mind. and it probably deserves to be mentioned as well. although they have an awesome beer selection and good, upscale bar food, my one major issue with eating outside there is all of the cigarette smoke. but perhaps it's because i usually only go there at night.<br /><br />though not technically downtown, i've heard a lot of good things about francesca's. i'll have to remember to check out the courtyard when i go there. i've seen some pictures online and it looks really nice.Josef Lorenzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032231167668641774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6476058288038685917.post-42103913002896028112009-08-28T08:47:56.452-04:002009-08-28T08:47:56.452-04:00I'd give an honorable mention to the Blue Tusk...I'd give an honorable mention to the Blue Tusk. Yes, it's considered more "bar" than "restaurant", but if you include Clark's, then the Tusk is right behind. Delicious food and lots of outdoor seating. One of my favorite things to do is to go to friday happy hour after work, order some food, grab a table outside along Walton St. and do some people-watching.<br /><br />Francesca's has some great outdoor dining as well. I'd much rather eat in the courtyard out back than inside the restaurant. It's gorgeous back there.Jim Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854795648150163891noreply@blogger.com
