Good Afternoon to all our amazing customers and friends. Dr. Bonny Henry has made mask wearing mandatory in all public and retail spaces. A mask is now required in all restaurants except while you are at your table. This means walking into the restaurant going to your seat and table and leaving or if you use the washroom. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding during these trying times. . If you don't have a mask with you at time of dining in the restaurant you can ask your lovely hostess to supply you with a disposable mask for use while you dine with us. We have got you covered.
