Why You Should Eat Outdoors This Summer

Summer is finally here, and that means it's the perfect time to take advantage of the best outdoor dining Roswell has to offer at 1920 Tavern. Our downtown Roswell restaurant features a charming patio that's an ideal setting for your summer lunch adventures or lively dinner celebrations under the warm evening sky. Follow along as we cover all of the reasons why you should dine outside this summer season. 

Fresh Seasonal Eats

Our seasonally-inspired menu is loaded with bright, vibrant flavors that taste even better when enjoyed al fresco. Here are some standout dishes you've got to try this summer:

Scallop Tacos

The Scallop Tacos are a must-try. They're piled high with pan-seared sea scallops, mango salsa, and a bright Ponzu sauce. The scallops are tender and perfectly seared, providing a great contrast to our creamy sauce and fresh toppings. Wash them down with a crisp white wine or one of our signature summer cocktails. 

Mediterranean Platter 

For Mediterranean flair, go for the Mediterranean Platter. This one's a crowd favorite loaded with tons of flavors and textures. You've got smooth, nutty hummus, crispy herb-packed falafel, tangy pickled cucumbers, briny olive tapenade, sweet tomato jam, salty halloumi cheese, and cooling tzatziki sauce, all with warm pita bread for scooping and dipping into each component. It's a delicious way to share a bunch of different flavors.

Oyster Selections

And because it's summer, you've gotta try the oysters. We source them fresh and have them available in three ways. You can go classic with them fresh on the half-shell, or switch it up with our baked Rockefeller style topped with a buttery breadcrumb sauce, or our chargrilled option gives them a hint of smoky, grilled flavor. No matter which you choose, they pair perfectly with an ice-cold beer or crisp white wine. 

Lobster Roll

No summer menu would be complete without a classic Lobster Roll, and ours is a standout. We pack it full of large chunks of sweet, tender lobster meat pulled straight from the shell. It's tossed in just enough garlic aioli to bind it together before getting piled high on a buttery toasted roll. A squeeze of lemon and some fresh Chinese celery provide the perfect bright finishing touch. 

This summer sandwich is a real treat. The lobster itself is the star, allowed to shine without being weighed down by too many extras. It's a delicacy that tastes even better when enjoyed outdoors on a sunny day on our patio. Make it a lunch to remember by pairing your Lobster Roll with one of our crisp, refreshing summer ales or lemonades.

The Perfect Patio Vibes

While our menu offerings are certainly appetizing, the true highlight is our 1920 Tavern patio. This shaded outdoor space surrounded by historic sidewalks, ambient string lighting, and festive seasonal decorations provides an escape mere steps from the vibrant heart of downtown Roswell. Guests can unwind in a tranquil setting while still enjoying proximity to the area's dining and entertainment scene.

Roswell's Best Outdoor Dining

Our patio offers a relaxed, casual ambiance ideal for unwinding and enjoying a Roswell lunch, brunch, or dinner. Guests can enjoy our flavorful food, refreshing drinks, and the lively atmosphere of downtown Roswell in our inviting outdoor space. We encourage you to gather friends and family and reserve a table to experience one of Roswell's most popular al fresco dining destinations this summer.
