ALTO Terrace Bar + Kitchen — Restaurant in Portland

The Alto Restaurant is a Brunch delight as you are treated to warmly yet efficiently to any brunch beverage you desire. Warm fresh-roasted bean coffee is never empty while served hot plates of choice selections of perfectly made-to-order eggs, tasty meats, and any sweet side baked or griddle-flipped creation you desire.

The size of the terrace is huge and they are marketing the outdoor area like crazy - why not add some tables and chairs to make the place useable? Is there some outdoor furniture shortage we aren't aware of? Everywhere else in Portland seems to figure out how to buy patio table and chairs - c'mon ALTO. You...
