Dining with Us

Please respect the guidelines set in place so we can continue to serve you:

  • Guests are required by the Commonwealth of Virginia to wear masks when spending time in indoor public spaces. Masks may be removed indoors “while eating or drinking”. If you do not have a mask when you arrive, we have sunflower masks for purchase for $10.
  • Hand sanitation stations will be setup near the entrance/exits of the restaurant and near the restrooms for your convenience.
  • All tables are spaced out in accordance with physical distance mandates on our patio and indoors. Please do not move the tables. We will try to accommodate any table requests as best we can, but not all requests can be met.
  • No one with a fever or symptoms of COVID-19, or known exposure to a COVID-19 case in the prior 14 days, is permitted on the patio or in the restaurant.

We will be following policies that we set in place right before the shutdown. Booths, chairs, salt and pepper shakers, bread baskets, check books, and anything else that we and you come into contact with will be disinfected thoroughly and often. We only ask your patience, as all these steps will take longer, but we believe they are necessary in maintaining the health of our customers, staff, and their families.
