Great Dane wrecked open-air restaurant (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teagarden

'open-air restaurant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'great dane wrecked' is the wordplay.
'wrecked' indicates an anagram.
'great'+'dane'='greatdane'
'greatdane' anagrammed gives 'TEAGARDEN'.

(Other definitions for teagarden that I've seen before include "open-air restaurant" , "American bandleader" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
