Decorate the place with plants, photographs, souvenirs, and other such embellishments. More importantly, try to choose a space that has a pleasant open view but it should be proximal to places that are a major source of entertainment. It is not about luxury, a space like this, is made for and around your lifestyle. You can create a big area with world-class luxuries or a small, cozy and warm space both are equally good and worthy.

- Add a buffet table that allows guests to avail of self-service, the perfectly suits the friendly and informal vibe of outdoor dining.
