Looking for a restaurant recommendation in Eugene. We prefer a place with outdoor dining and good quality food with vegetarian options.

We often talk about the pleasant evening we had at Beppe & Gianni's--an Italian restaurant in a residential neighborhood with outdoor seating: http://www.beppeandgiannis.net/

We liked everything about the place. The food and service are good, and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.

Sweewaters at Valley River Inn is probably the nicest setting in Eugene- it has a nice deck on the river - not sure if you can make reservations on the deck- but check it out.

The Northbank is another very nice setting on the river - but its a brewpub type place so not really catering to vegetarian but I suppose salads available.

Soriah's is Mediterranean type restaurant - nice outdoor courtyard - sometimes service slow

Marche - don't eat there often but very good reputation- outdoor dining area but in a shopping area - so not same ambiance as some restaurants

Oakway Mall - has a couple of outdoor restaurants - there is a new Italian restaurant with outdoor seating but have not tried it yet - also a Mexican restaurant with outdoor seating - nice courtyard.

My choice would be Sweetwaters for nice views and dining

SM3, Do you ever consult Urbanspoon?

King Estate Winery has a very pretty outdoor patio and excellent food! ***kim***

We always stop at Marche on our way up to Portland from Southern Oregon. Great place.

My favorite place for outdoor seating is Studio One cafe on campus. It has been a long time since I have been in Eugene so I hope it's still there. The food was incredible and it used to be a house so it's very quant. Enjoy.

My vote would be for King Estate Winery, though it would be a bit of out of town drive.
