With indoor and outdoor options available, COVID-19 vaccines being distributed and a workforce readying to return to normal after more than a year of rolling calls from home offices, reservations are up. Evan Funke heard a familiar sound one recent evening at Felix in Venice. "A director friend of mine was doing a pitch for a movie on the patio," he recalls of the scene at his critically acclaimed restaurant, where he serves as chef and owner. Conversations like that have become increasingly familiar of late as the industry's power-dining landscape repopulates with creatives, executives, representatives and talent. Public health guidelines that allow for indoor and outdoor dining, along with widening vaccine distribution, have made it possible for insiders to begin venturing out for business meals after a year of hibernation amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
