There’s nothing that says “Hello, summer!” quite like patio dining in a beautiful setting—and our recent Eating With Erica (EWE) Supper Club luncheon at Anis Café & Bistro was just that. Tucked away in the heart of Atlanta,GA Anis transports guests to the South of France with its charming ambiance, authentic cuisine, and welcoming hospitality.

At Eating With Erica Supper Club, we believe elevated entertaining isn’t just about the food—it’s about the environment, the company, and the care behind every detail. That’s why we love combining colors, textures, and scents to create unique dining experiences that engage all five senses.

Alfresco Summer Luncheon: Welcoming Warm Weather with a Stunning Tablescape

Our alfresco summer luncheon was held on the gorgeous patio at Anis Café & Bistro, designed to celebrate the arrival of warm weather in style. One of the highlights was the thoughtfully curated tablescape, which set the tone for the entire event.

We chose a fresh, vibrant color palette inspired by spring itself: lush greens and sunny yellows that brought life and energy to the table. The centerpiece featured elegant tulips in green and yellow, their delicate petals adding softness and sophistication. This floral arrangement perfectly complemented the natural beauty of the patio, creating a seamless connection between the outdoor space and the table.

Layered with textured linens and simple yet refined place settings, the tablescape balanced color and texture beautifully—inviting guests to linger, relax, and savor the moment. As an expert hostess, I know that a well-designed tablescape is essential for elevated entertaining. It visually communicates your theme, adds a personal touch, and creates an inviting atmosphere where guests feel truly special.

From the soft clink of glasses to the fragrance of blooming florals and fresh herbs, this luncheon was not just a meal—it was a sensory experience.
