On Wednesday, two LA restaurants were hit with a lawsuit for operating outdoor dining while it was banned throughout the county. From November 25 until today, LA County restaurants were forbidden from offering outdoor dining to further stop the spread of coronavirus throughout the region, even as Los Angeles remains a COVID-19 hot spot with a 7,420 daily average infection rate over the last seven days.
The two restaurants listed in the Los Angeles Superior Court suit are Cronies Sports Grill in Agoura Hills and Burbank’s Tinhorn Flats Saloon & Grill. Both establishments have been outspoken in their choice to defy the outdoor dining ban, and the lawsuit is an abatement order that directs both restaurants to bring their businesses into compliance with coronavirus health orders, and allow inspectors in to confirm it, reports Fox-LA.
