11 of the Best Rochester, MN Restaurants With Patios

I hope that by writing this, I don't cause a snowstorm to happen on May 2nd again.  If Rochester, Minnesota gets 15 inches again, you can blame it on me.  But, isn't this weather awesome?  As I'm typing this, the sun is shining, people are out on walks without coats on, and everyone is smiling!
