Downtown Evanston is lucky to have so many restaurants with outdoor seating whether you are grabbing coffee with friends, taking a colleague to lunch, enjoying a special date night or toasting a beautiful summer evening. Check out these restaurants or grab 'n go from any restaurant to enjoy a meal at Fountain Square or the lakefront (just a half mile away!) If they aren't set up quite yet, they will be soon!
