This fall, chef C. Barclay Dodge envisioned Bosqâs winterized patio overlooking the Mill Street pedestrian mall: a glass-enclosed, modern structure built around a tall tree, its upper branches poking above a skylight in the lattice ceiling. Here, according to plans drawn by local design firm Rowland+Broughton, guests would enjoy a safe, socially distanced dining experience, shielded from snow and cold yet converging with nature.
