Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Cotswold

So glad we decided to have Christmas Eve dinner at The Jimmy. Wasn’t sure what to expect on this holiday evening, but the restaurant was full with a lively, happy crowd, and the always-friendly staff were in good spirits. Perfectly cooked salmon with a soft, moist interior and crispy skin outside. Nicely charred pizza with mushrooms and arugula. And a winning Sangiovese to wash it all down. What else do you need ?

This was a lovely way to spend Christmas Eve as a smaller family before we traveled out of town. The food was delicious!

We found the Fug Tree on Open table and a travel blog recommendation and it was exactly what we were looking for! We had a fabulous time celebrating my daughter’s 23rd birthday trip from Los Angeles -- and met others celebrating their anniversaries. We shared 2 apps, a salad, 1 main, and ordered 3 drinks (2 different cocktails and a glass of wine) — and unfortunately didn’t have room for dessert which we were looking forward to — but they still brought some homemade chocolates on a plate inscribed Happy Birthday with a candle, which was lovely! The wait staff were very personable and took great care of us including splitting shared dishes without being asked. The cocktails were unique and yummy. The food was a fantastic mix of flavors and cooked to perfection. The house was tastefully decorated for the holidays. Compared to LA prices it was at least 50% less expensive than a similar experience — but we did tip a lot more than we usually would since service was fantastic and min wage in NC is about 1/4 of that in CA.

Staff was great. Truly great. The rooms are a little loud when multiple tables are set. The outside area looked very nice. The appetizers and salads were extremely good. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the burger with fries. The shrimp and grits were OK at best. We only ate half of the burgers. The fries were on point.

Went on a two for $20 Tuesday but to our surprise, it ended this week. Not indicated on Instagram or any other social media about the change. Nonetheless we ordered some outstanding entrees and craft cocktails and this place did not disappoint. Love love love this place and we will be back
