by Alan Stamm Political resistance takes varied forms lately, and can involve serving mostaciolli, prime rib and beer-battered perch to sit-down restaurant guests. Once-ordinary acts are small-scale revolutions in a time of state epidemic orders, incluing a ban on inside public dining that eases Monday. Restaurant dining rooms, counters and bars can reopen at 25-percent capacity.

HOLLAND MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – Marlena Pavlos has a chance to defend the license for her restaurant, Marlenaâs Bistro & Pizzeria, 909 Lincoln Ave. in Holland, on Monday, Feb. 1, 2021. She’s kept the restaurant open for dine-in service, despite a statewide ban. The restaurant has been in business for more than five years.
In December, Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) issued a notice of license revocation to Zante, Inc., Marlenaâs Bistro & Pizzeria’s parent company, which also belongs to Pavlos.
State health officials barred dine-in service intermittently since the pandemic started last March, with the most-recent order from Jan. 16 through 31 in an effort to reverse a surge in COVID-19, attributed to Christmas and New Year’s gatherings.
