Restaurant Etiquette – What to Expect
Across Connecticut, restaurants are beginning to open and offer outdoor dining opportunities. While it’s wonderful to get a break from cooking or enjoy a meal not eaten out of a takeout container, keep in mind that dining out looks a bit different than it used to as establishments do their best to take precautions against the spread of COVID-19. There are new rules for everyone to follow, patrons included.
The Westport Weston Health District has been fielding a number of questions regarding dining “etiquette”. Do patrons need to wear a mask? If so, how exactly does that work? The simple answer is yes, customers do need to wear a mask or face covering when not seated at their table. While entering the establishment, walking through the seating area, or using the restroom, wear your mask. It isn’t necessary to wear a mask when seated at a table where one is eating and drinking. Remember, when you wear a mask you are protecting those around you. When they wear a mask, they are protecting you. Restaurant owners have the right to refuse service to people who do not conform to these guidelines.
Other tips:
Call ahead – Reservations are encouraged (where available) so that large groups don’t gather as they wait for their table and you can enjoy guaranteed seating.
Be Prepared to Respect Boundaries – Be on time if you do have reservations. Clustering in the lobby or common area is discouraged. Some restaurants may have seating time limits.
Social Distance – Be careful when greeting family & friends with hugs and handshakes or approaching other tables to say hello. Social distance has changed the way we should approach physical contact.
Be Patient – We are all navigating our way through the new rules and trying to adapt best practices. Things may not be as quick or look like they used to.
Support Local Businesses – Area establishments have worked hard to resume operations safely. Take advantage of the warmer weather, get out, and enjoy all our towns have to offer.
