• We are diligently cleaning and sanitizing all frequently contacted surfaces with increased regularity throughout the restaurant. 

• We have instructed team members that should they experience cold or flu-like symptoms, or come in contact with an infected individual, to stay home and follow up with their medical provider.

• Clearing out half of our tables and seating capacity to provide good distance and make our customers feel safe.
