**PLEASE READ**
We are sad to say but we were informed that a customer tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday and were dining with us on Saturday 11/14. We received this information yesterday afternoon and immediately told our staff who was in "close contact" to that customer. My staff then got tested and unfortunately there are now a couple positive cases that we have to report. Knowing there were multiple positive cases at our establishment we closed the doors immediately yesterday around 4pm. We have already been in contact with any customers that were in "Close Contact" to the servers that have tested positive. We have been told that "Close Contact" means within 6 ft. for a period of 10 minutes of more (does not need to be a consecutive 10 minutes). In light of this new information we will remain closed an additional week as our entire staff must quarantine regardless if they test negative for 14 days. We will re-open our doors Wednesday December 9th at 11:30am after a deep clean of the entire restaurant. We apologize for any inconvenience but our main concern is for everyone's safety

I believe all Restaurants in the State of New Hampshire have been taking names and phone numbers for the last week or two, so notifying affected customers may not have been a difficult task.

Let's hope they get everything cleaned up and are able to successfully open up again in a few weeks!

I want to thank them for doing the right thing under these no so ideal circumstances and wish them the best!
