Connecticut Magazine recently listed 27 of the most gorgeous and delicious outdoor dining spots in the state. How did they come up with list? Pretty simple, for all of them "the scenery is as fine as what’s on the plate."

The magazine used 11 categories to break it all down:

Shoreline East

Litchfield Hills
Farmington Valley
Up on the Roof
By the Empire State
The Quiet Corner
City Solitude
For Jet Setters
Par for the Course
