Your Table, Austin

Where's the best seat in town to watch the sunset, make deals or propose marriage?

One is white plastic, others have white linen. Several hold foie gras, others support burgers. Some attract power, others repel it. But there's one thing they all have in common: Each is one of my 10 favorite restaurant tables in the Austin area. — Dale Rice

Best Patio Table

VIVO COCINA MEXICANA, TABLE NO. 300

Is there really an outdoor table in Central Austin that's not miserable in summer? Yes, it's on the patio outside Vivo in East Austin. With a lush green setting, including hanging plants that form natural awnings, and a waterfall-fountain to block out the noise from Manor Road, this table can transform even a sweltering day in Austin into a pleasant meal.

Reservations: Yes. Address: 2015 Manor Road. Phone: 482-0300.

Diners: Andy Allen, left, Aaron Lancaster, Craig Allen and Jeff Kessler.
