Capacity will be roughly 30% (30 seats per set) “We’re going to open slowly to make sure that everyone is comfortable. As we obtain more staff we will continue to increase hours until we get to capacity. We’ve been out of work for a long time. I’m sure everybody’s going to be a little bit rusty so we want to make sure everything is perfect for the guest. We believe by the fall we’ll be back at 100% capacity open for lunch, happy hour and dinner six days a week, but a lot of that depends on the demand and whether office, bank and court employees return to their Center City offices,” stated DeNinno
