Patio
A patio (/ˈpætioʊ/,[1] from Spanish: patio [ˈpatjo]; "courtyard", "forecourt", "yard", "little garden") is an outdoor space generally used for dining or recreation that adjoins a structure and is typically paved.[2] In Australia the term is expanded to include roofed structures such as a veranda, which provides protection from sun and rain.[3]

Patios are most commonly paved with concrete or stone slabs (also known as paving flags). They can also be created using bricks, block paving, tiles, cobbles,[4] or gravel. Other kinds of patio materials these days include alumawood, aluminum, acrylic, and glass.
Patio is also a general term used for outdoor seating at restaurants, especially in Canadian English. While common in Europe even before 1900, eating outdoors at restaurants in North America was exotic until the 1940s. The Hotel St. Moritz in New York in the 1950s advertised itself as having the first true continental cafe with outdoor seating. The Toronto Star welcomed that city's first patio in the 1960s. In the United States, having a warmer and sunnier climate than Northern Europe, outdoor dining grew rapidly in the 1960s and today is a popular dining experience in the warmer parts of the mainland.[5]
If you want to try a real authentic Austin tex-Mex restaurant, el patio is the place to go. The portions are huge, the tasty margaritas have a kick, and you couldn't ask for a friendlier staff. This is my go-to spot whenever I visit Austin. Hook Em horns!
The patio from the castle at Vélez Blanco, near Almeria, is a jewel of early sixteenth-century Spanish architecture. Its structure reflects the Spanish taste of its architect in the asymmetrical layout, Gothic gargoyles, flat-timbered ceilings, and low, segmental arches. Carvers from northern Italy executed the decorative Renaissance details. A sumptuous array of fanciful flora and fauna appears on the spandrels and intrados of the arches, the piers of the balustrade, and the doors and windows. Though elaborate, the motifs preserve the clarity of form, the naturalism, and the three-dimensional quality that were characteristic of the early Italian Renaissance and proved so influential.

Very good! We were looking for an outdoor patio and came upon this place. Super cool vibe and great patio area. We started with fried pickles and they were fantastic. The hubs had the trail boss burger which had a bison patty, cheese, bacon and all the fixings. He loved it. He also ordered onion rings and said they were "amazing!"

Patios are usually built at grade. For construction of a patio built at existing grade, a permit is not required for construction. If the lot is served by a private well and/or septic, an at-grade patio must be reviewed by the Quality and Septic Systems Program to ensure that access for septic tank maintenance is provided.
If you intend to construct a patio over 500 sq. ft., a Building Permit is required, and site plans showing the existing and proposed structure location(s), including well and/or septic (if applicable), must be submitted. Structural plans also are required.
