George drove from Walnut Creek specifically after hearing the owner was being fined for remaining open.
“I’d go an hour to try to support someone that’s trying to feed their family,” he said.
He said that, in his opinion, after this much time in “pandemic mode,” banning outdoor dining leaves few choices for get togethers, which are ultimately going to happen anyway.
“I mean outdoor dining, you’re just pushing people into the people’s homes,” George said. “You’re making people sick.”
A more regular Incontro patron appreciated the sentiment from his Walnut Creek neighbor.
“If someone opens up in Walnut Creek, I’ll be there tomorrow,” said customer Naveen Aujla.
