Christiane layered a few found seashells into her tablescape to keep the decor natural and breezy. (Can't you just smell the sweet and salty sea air?)

On the menu for the evening was eggplant and kale from Quail Hill Farm...

and grilled snapper...

and roasted fingerling potatoes.

How do you set the table for outdoor dining? And what are your favorite late-summer dishes? We would love to hear!
