Patio Dining in Silver Spring, MD
Outdoor tables from spring through early fall, lunch through dinner. We're 5 min · 1.6 mi from downtown from Silver Spring, at 8739 Flower Avenue in Silver Spring.
El Golfo sits at 8739 Flower Avenue in the Long Branch end of Silver Spring, five minutes east of the Ellsworth Drive crowds downtown. Flower Avenue is the quieter restaurant row — El Gavilan is two doors up at 8805 — and the lot beside the building holds 30 to 40 cars, which downtown Silver Spring cannot say about anything.
From Silver Spring we're 5 min · 1.6 mi from downtown, which makes patio dining a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.

Patio Dining done properly
The patio runs spring, summer and early fall for brunch, lunch and dinner. It's the neighborhood's warm-weather default: close enough to Sligo Creek's trail network that bikes lean on the rail while their riders work through margaritas and ceviche.
