When it comes to braving the winter chill, hardy New Englanders are up for the challenge. However, while outdoor dining at Seacoast restaurants had diners happily enjoying delicious drinks and dishes long into fall, there was a point at which it just became a bit too frosty for servers and diners alike.

In early December, though, came a series of announcements from some restaurants they were closing until spring, “hibernating” until outdoor dining can open once again.
