Patio season is coming mercifully soon, and there are sure to be some newcomers to the outdoor dining scene this year. One will be Snappy Pattys, a West Medford restaurant that opened this past August, offering "upscale contemporary American food with a world influence" — including a range of patty melt sliders.

Snappy Pattys will more than double in capacity with the addition of a 50-seat patio, including an outside bar, according to a job posting that popped up on Craigslist yesterday. The restaurant is seeking a variety of front-of-house positions leading up to the opening of the patio. No timeline has been announced yet.

Citizen Public House and Franklin Southie alum Nicholas Dowling is behind the cozy 36-seat restaurant, along with restaurateur Adam Gazzola.
