We’re less than a month away from the official start of summer, the weather is warming up and restrictions on restaurants are being lifted. This seems like the perfect time to share some of our staff’s top 5 local restaurants for summer. After what restaurants have gone through over the past year we can’t encourage you enough to get out there and start supporting these great local businesses ( if you haven’t already!) Many of these restaurants also provide outside seating options, perfect for summer!
