The Silver Star Café has erected a yurt that will allow guests to dine while socially distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The yurt, which was ordered from the Colorado Yurt Company in Montrose, Colorado, will be in service until the spring.

The Silver Star Cafe has added another element to its pandemic-era dining experience.
The local eatery, which has been featured on the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives,” has erected a yurt on its patio for the winter.
The vinyl and wood structure adds nearly 452 square feet to the existing cafe space, and its six, socially distanced dining tables bring the cafe’s total to 12, said Lisa Ward, who owns the restaurant with her husband Jeff.
