On the edge of Summerlin, Grape Vine Cafe is doing all it can to stay alive. The state extended its COVID-19 guidance that restricts restaurants to 25 percent capacity with mandatory reservations and a maximum of four people per table through January 15, making it difficult for small businesses such as Grape Vine to stay afloat.
Co-owner Linda Kutcher says the new restrictions, which went into effect November 24 to slow the spread of COVID-19, have killed her lunch business, cancelled wine dinners, and curtailed sales of bottles of wine, once a boon to her restaurant.
