We are running a limited menu of our top sellers. Right now, it9s 21 and older, and we will expand our hours and seating with time as permitted and are continuing to complete our remodeling to offer the best experience we can for guests.= Some local restaurants have delayed reopening din- ing rooms during Phase I. Takoda9s Restaurant and Lounge manager Kyle Harbick noted that they should be open soon. <We are getting ready to be able to stick to the gover- nor9s guidelines and regula- tions but are mainly finishing up some projects,= Harbick explained. <When we reopen, we will have a full menu but no salad bar. Our regulars have been awesome and are excited about getting out on our patio to eat.= The dining room and bar in Chops Bistro has been empty since mid-March. Prior to shutdown, owner Tracy Syanovitz said busi- ness was up 84 percent from last year9s numbers. <We opened on May 15. Business was good Friday and Saturday,= she said. <The rest of week, not so busy. We do have the same chef and same employees. This is going to be a challenge with the same amount of staff, but with limited business. Right now, due to eight weeks of shutdown and limited num- bers reopening, I am down 15 percent from last year.= She added, <I think what will help business this sum- mer, due to limited seating, will be my outside seating. Last night, I had one table in the dining room and a full porch. Tables are six feet apart and people feel safer in an outdoor setting. The menu is the same, and we are going to expand bar food next week, due to a renova- tion taking place in kitchen.= Chops will be having live entertainment again but keep- ing strict with volume in the lounge area to keep within the regulations. People are excited to be back at dine in restau- rants, even if it is with a new normal. <The amount of support- ive feedback that we have gotten has been wonderful as far as people being so grate- ful to be able to come to a place where they can feel normal again,= said Sarah Spaniol,= Cottonwood Café manager. <We have a new simpler temporary menu with indoor and outdoor seating.= Cottonwood Café is open now Thursday through Monday, with additional seating on the sidestreet alongside the cottage. Three Creeks Brewing Company is open and keep- ing it simple. < We o p e n e d l a s t Wednesday and did the first two days of just online order- ing to go, then we opened inside on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. It went good but business is still down,= said manager Mark Perry. <The Sisters Stampede bike race has always brought a lot of traffic. We9re keep- ing the menu simple; there9s always that possibility of a second wave of COVID-19.= Cork Cellars opened its doors Friday, May 15, and manager Heather Belmont is happy to see at least half of the regulars coming back in. She said, <It9s the same menu for Cork Cellars with a special every week.= Co-owner Tom Buck has been thinking creatively, fig- uring out ways to keep their live music traditions. <We are excited about getting entertainment back in Phase III, maybe in June sometime,= Buck said. <We plan to have two one-hour shows like the jazz clubs in the old days. An early set, clean up, disinfect then a later set.= He added, <This town has absolutely embraced us since we moved in here and has been incredibly supportive.= Renee Reitmeier, Fika Sisters Coffee House owner, opened her doors from curb- side to inside on Memorial Day.
