Some Evanston restaurants have begun seating patrons for the first time in months after the Illinois Department of Public Health announced a move into Phase 4 of its reopening plan.
Region 10 moved into Tier 1 of the plan on Jan. 23, allowing limited indoor dining. On Feb. 2, the region moved into Phase 4, allowing restaurants to seat parties of up to 10.
Some restaurants, like wing restaurant Buffalo Joe’s, are continuing to limit their services to carry out orders.
“We don’t have a lot of seats in the first place,” General Manager Dean Holden said, adding that with carryout orders alone, Buffalo Joe’s had “a good football season and a good winter.”
