When the weather gets nice, where’s your favorite place to grab a meal outdoors?

Maybe it has a great view or just serves as a nice way to get away for a bit. Whatever the reason, we want to know which restaurant has your favorite patio for this week’s Readers’ Choice contest.

Here are your nominees:

• The Courtyard Café
• Creekside Restaurant and Bar
• Panera

You can cast your vote a few different ways. You can pick your favorite in the poll below or rate the business’ directory listing above. Comments on this story and reviews on the business' page are also welcome. The official rules are included as a PDF above.

Voting will close at 5 p.m. on Friday, and the winner will be announced on Brecksville Patch on Saturday.

Voting results posted in real time shall not be deemed official until Patch has reviewed and confirmed all of the votes.
