Outdoor seating for tonight???

[skiqueene]

Hi, I am new to the area and I am looking for a good outdoor atmosphere for drinks and dinner tonight (preferably near the water) in the greater Boston area. Open to all types of food.

Eastern Pier is a great idea. The first time I walked by it really didn't look appealing and then I saw some positive reviews on this site. I went back and enjoyed it. The staff is great, the patio wasn't crowded and the food was good. Joe's American Bar & Grill also has an outdoor patio by the water, but I would only go there for drinks.

The deck at Eastern Pier looks great... I will definately give it a try.

Joe's actually has very good burgers, imo. And good fries to go along with 'em.

Someone in another post had recommended Miel in the Intercontinental Hotel on the Waterfront. It is a fairly new place with a nice outdoor patio.

Eastern Pier II on Northern Avenue has an outdoor boardwalk-type area in the back of the restaurant that overlooks the harbor. They have a lot of tables out there, so it's usually not a problem getting a table. They specialize in Hong Kong-style seafood dishes, though they have plenty of other Chinese dishes, too.
