We can support the restaurants by taking out. I understand people enjoy restaurants but even before the recent flare up, it didn't seem worth the risk to me to do sit-down dining.
We did outdoor sit-down dining exactly twice and haven't even considered indoor. Takeout is fine for now.
I’ve bought long underwear for the kids so we can stretch outdoor dining a bit further into the season. But the tent needs to have at least two sides open, and we only sit when we‘re close to an open side. If you have a tent with all four sides down how is that different than indoor dining, other than it being colder?
We've had takeout from Lorena's a few times for special occasions and Chef does a great job. Highly recommended!
Just read that Lorena’s in Maplewood is ending indoor dining. Hopefully they and all our restaurants can survive until reopening can begin.
