The Blue Boar Inn & Restaurant opened its outdoor patio, The Hinterhof, to breakfast, lunch and dinner guests for the summer. Diners can enjoy mountain views and a fresh summer menu. Every Tuesday during the summer season, Bavarian specials will be served, such as chicken scallopini with spaetzle and a Bavarian sausage plate with house-made sauerkraut. The Hinterhof means "patio behind," in German (www.TheBlueBoarInn.com or 888-650-1400).

The Old Spaghetti Factory was named as one of the Top 10 Kid-Friendly restaurant chains by Parents Magazine this month.

The Old Spaghetti Factory restaurants are owned and operated by the Dussin Group of Portland, Ore. (www.thedussingroup.com).
