PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- As temperatures in metro Phoenix get a little cooler, more of us will want to bask in the fresh, and at times, brisk autumn air. So Good Morning Arizona is making a round-up of the best places around the Valley for dining al fresco (that’s an Italian phrase for outdoor dining). The list is being updated daily all this week.

Prime

Prime, A Shula's Steakhouse, is the newest restaurant in Chandler with amazing views of the Valley.

Prime, a Shula’s Steakhouse, is located on the top floor of the Gila River Wild Horse Pass Casino in Chandler and features amazing views of the Valley. Prime has only been open for a few months, but you wouldn’t know it by everything it has to offer including steak with French influences and now, brunch!

Chelsea’s Kitchen

It's located near 40th Street and Camelback Road in the Arcadia district.

Chelsea’s Kitchen is right off a busy Camelback Road in Phoenix’s Arcadia district. An industrial-style eatery that offers up your traditional American fare in a setting that although can be busy, is also quite relaxing. Chelsea’s Kitchen has a patio that overlooks the Arizona Canal and its menu makes it a “can’t go wrong” option for a business lunch, weekend brunch, or even an early date night.

O.H.S.O. Brewery: Little O’s Arcadia Market

Don’t forget, it is a brewery, and there are plenty of craft beers and cocktails to choose from. Little O’s serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and the patio is dog-friendly.

Joe’s Real BBQ

It's a family-friendly, laid-back space with food served cafeteria-style for a real hometown feeling in the heart of Gilbert.
