Ten Tips to Dining Out During COVID-19

Baltimore City restaurants are now allowed to provide safely distanced outdoor dining under Phase One of Mayor Young’s reopening plan. To do so requires diligence on the part of the restaurants and the diners. Here are some tips to help you prepare and make the most out of your dining experience.

• HEALTH - Stay home if you have any symptoms or have been exposed to COVID-19.

• MASKS - Wear a mask to the restaurant, when entering the dining area, exiting, and using the restroom. Only remove it while eating.

• RESERVATIONS - Call in advance to see if your restaurant of choice is taking reservations. If not, please respect walk-up limitations and physical distancing.

• SEATING TIMES - Be mindful of specific restaurant guidelines. If you have a limited time slot, please arrive on time and don’t linger after your meal longer than your reservation. This allows proper time for cleaning between seatings.

• ORDERING - Read the menu online in advance, and bring your phone so you can also view the menu online on-site.

• WEATHER - Be prepared to take your food to go or for your reservation to be cancelled due to inclement weather.

• POLICY - Respect restaurant policy. Each establishment may have different guidelines for the safety of their diners and employees.

• BATHROOMS - Ask first. Most restaurants will allow the use of in-premise restrooms with protocols in place for proper cleaning. 

• GRATUITY - Be courteous, appreciative, and please tip your servers/bartenders.

• HAVE FUN - Enjoy your food, friends & the dining experience!
