Foodie Friday: Restaurant Owners Excited to Return to In-House Dining
/With restaurants permitted to operate at half-capacity starting Monday, several entrepreneurs are eager to open up their businesses to the public.
“I am really excited to open back up and get things rolling properly again. Having the staff back full force will be great for them,” said Addison Brown, Dr J’s BBQ & Brews owner. “Being able to share a beverage or meal with others is a great feeling. I would also like to thank everyone that ordered off of us while we were closed down, we wouldn’t be here without them!”
“We're happy to be able to accommodate the kind folk of this town,” said Om Patel, The Dirty Burger Company owner. “Even though the regulations limit us to having 50 per cent capacity, we love the appreciation this community gives restaurants that they support local. The Dirty Burger Company will be open and happy to see this new year show us new light!”
“‘We are delighted to be opening back up for dine-in,” said Shae Doucet, Sam’s Place manager. “We have worked hard as a community to keep each other safe and we are more than excited to have our friends back inside as it feels like it’s time.”
“At Jesse’s, we are fortunate and want to thank our great customers that supported us while we did takeout,” said Adam Shearer, Jesse’s Tap & Grill owner. “We are looking forward to seeing familiar and new faces in the restaurant again.”
Some restaurants will continue to have only takeout and/or delivery such as The Pizza Factory and Nostimo by the Original Greek when restrictions are lifted.

On Dec. 19, 2021, the Government of Ontario introduced public health measures in response to the spread of the COVID-19 Omicron variant.
These measures include a 50 per cent capacity limit in restaurants, bars and other food or drink establishments and strip clubs. Alcohol cannot be sold after 10:00 p.m. and must close by 11:00 p.m.
Violation of the restrictions can include a suspension or revocation of their liquor licence.
“As the countdown to New Year’s Eve approaches, anyone considering heading out to a bar or a restaurant should be aware of all public health measures in place, and not give establishment staff a difficult time for enforcing them,” said Tom Mungham, AGCO registrar and CEO.
