every seat is outside just whether or not you have a roof over your heads or a palaypa..i was just there a few weeks ago and for about an hour it poured like there was no tomorrow..the people under the stars got drenched, their dinners ruined and that part of the restaurant lost power..my table however which was under the roof but still as i believe outside or open air as some would say was dry and my dinner fantastic..being that no one could eat under the stars with the downpour there was a line of diners waiting to be seated of about 40 people..yes there are mosquitos so either spray yourself with off or if you sit under the roof they have fans setup and i usually request a table next to one because their tiny little wings don't work so well next to the fan and i find i don't get bitten at all..and i am like you a nice meal for a mosquito..i even wear long pants their so not to give the little buggers a chance..lol..also there is no comparison mj's is far and above better than le dome since le dome changed owners..imo..
