After months of eating indoors, dining inside a restaurant may not even be enough of a change. Enjoy the delights of outdoor dining on the patio of one of these wonderful restaurants, just minutes from Atlanta homes for sale. 

• Whiskey Bird - 1409 N. Highland Ave. NE, Atlanta, GA 30306
  True to their culinary philosophy, Whiskey Bird gets its name from a fusion of American and Asian. "Whiskey" refers to their classic cocktails, while "Bird" denotes the chicken that's the main ingredient in yakitori, the restaurant's signature item. In addition to chicken, these skewered bites come in seven different varieties, such as mushroom and chimichurri shrimp. Many of Whiskey Bird's dishes come as small plates which are perfect for sharing. Hours are 4:30 p.m. - 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Reservations are strongly recommended, with walk-ins accommodated as available.
  
  
• 57th Fighter Group Restaurant - 3829 Clairmont Rd., Atlanta, GA 30341
  While many restaurants offer live music, the 57th Fighter Group Restaurant has a unique way to entertain diners.

The classic steakhouse menu includes top-quality cuts of beef and a wide range of sides. Lunch hours are 11 a.m. - 2:30 p.m., dinner hours are 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. and Sunday brunch is served 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. The 57th is closed on Monday and patio seating is first-come, first-served.
  
  
• Grana - 1835 Piedmont Ave., Atlanta, GA 30324
  With its scenic rooftop patio, Grana literally takes outdoor dining to a new level. Executive chef Pat Pascarella learned authentic Neapolitan cooking from his mother and grandmother, and the menu features Instagram-ready classics such as pizza, meatballs, and chicken parmesan. Grana recently received their liquor license so you can enjoy beer, wine or a cocktail with your meal. Hours are 11:30 a.m. - 10 p.m. daily except Friday and Saturday, when hours are extended to 11 p.m. Reservations are recommended.
  
  
• King + Duke - 3060 Peachtree Rd. NW, Atlanta, GA 30305
  Between the name and cuisine, King + Duke owes much to classic Americana. The name comes from characters in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, while much of the cooking is done in a traditional style over wood on the restaurant's impressive 24-foot open hearth. King + Duke's seasonally influenced menu, featuring dishes like duck shank, summer mushrooms and smokebox half-chicken, utilizes the freshest ingredients available. National publications such as GQ and Esquire regularly recognize King + Duke as one of the best restaurants in the country. Dinner is served 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 5 p.m. - 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Reservations are recommended.
  
  
• Bar.bacoa - 1000 Virginia Ave. NE, Atlanta, GA 30306
  For many, summer is a time of lighter eating. The tapas-influenced menu at Bar.bacoa includes dozens of small plates to mix and match. Choose from favorites such as Mexican street corn, beef and potato empanadas, albondigas and ceviche. The equally varied listing of tacos includes a vegetarian option made with "impossible meat." On a warm summer day, nothing's quite as refreshing as one of Bar.bacoa's Margaritas, made with premium tequila. Bar.bacoa is open Tuesday through Saturday from 5 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
