New Rules and Guidelines Once Indoor Dinning Finally Reopens
Here's the news indoor dinning lovers have been waiting for since mid-March when restaurants and bars all over New Jersey closed their doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Indoor dinning will finally be allowed starting this Friday to kick off the long Labor Day Weekend.

- All staff must wear a mask
- No more than 8 per table unless guests are immediate family or live together.
- You are strongly encouraged to make reservations.
- Tables will be spaced 6 feet apart and you must stay seated while you eat.
- No salad bars or buffets at this time

Although dining out has changed, I'm really looking forward to once again being able to have a nice dinner with the family or friends to socialize or to celebrate a special occasion.
