Al fresco dining options in and around Morris County

Who's ready to get out and enjoy some outdoor dining???

By West Morris Macaroni Kid May 13, 2022

We asked local moms to let us know of their favorite local dining spots with outdoor seating. Here are a few options we felt were worth mentioning:



Stone Water

125 State Route 181
Lake Hopatcong, NJ 07849
973-810-3858

Paying tribute to Lake Hopatcong’s Lenape Indian roots, Stone Water is the region’s premier lakefront dining experience. Featuring warm woods and cool rustic decor, the restaurant serves the finest, modern new-age American Cuisine created by Executive Chef Domenick Torlucci. Our expansive, covered deck can accommodate 100 guests for outdoor dining.


Chef Fredy’s Table


78 Speedwell Avenue
Morristown, NJ 07960
973-538-3330



At Chef Fredy’s Table you’ll experience the food and service of a fine dining restaurant with just enough touch of casual.


From the moment you step through our doors, the titillating aroma drifting from our kitchen will seduce you towards a seat at one of our tables. The methodically designed interior that surrounds you will add the memorable touch to any special occasion­­­­ be it a first date, rehearsal dinner, or 50th anniversary.

For years Chef Fredy’s Table has received spectacular reviews by prestigious publications like The New York Times, The Star Ledger, The Daily Record, and NJ Monthly. Thanks to the highly wrought menu created by our wonderful Chef Fredy Umanzor, we are able to present beautifully constructed dishes with elaborate sauces and garnishes that make every bite better than the last.
