Nothin' could be finer than to be an Austin diner in the outdoors. (Sing it!) Perhaps the loveliest of all outdoor dining options in town is at the enchanted patio of the Treehouse Grill off South Congress. Anchored by a 400-year-old live oak tree, it has a mini arched bridge, landscaping galore, and twinkling lights above. And the stuff on the plate holds up nicely too. - Barbara Chisholm
