In this new feature called Spotlight, we’re discussing outdoor dining spots in our communities. We talked about several different places, including Sante Wine Tasting Room and Cannalle in Farmington, Adachi in Birmingham, Como’s in Ferndale, and Hamlin Pub in Clarkston and Rochester Hills. Sante has a small patio with four tables that is dog-friendly and faces the street. Cannalle, a bakery, has a long patio alongside the building, shielded from the main street. Adachi is a Japanese-inspired restaurant with a nice patio out front, featuring greenery and trees. Como’s has a large patio that can seat 348 people, with plexiglass and heaters to extend its season. Hamlin Pub has comfortable patios at its Clarkston and Rochester Hills locations, which serve as extensions of the restaurant and include heaters and umbrellas.
