Matt MacInnis and his friend, Amelia Gray — two of 10 patrons — sat socially distanced in the restaurant, enjoying some red wine with their lunch. “It’s a start at least. It’s nice to get out during the day and enjoy a restaurant, at least,“ said MacInnis. He insisted restrictions still need to be “loosened up a bit.” Gray said she was “definitely happy to be out and drinking wine.”
