On April 4, Gov. Tom Wolf will lighten restrictions on bars and indoor dining, as well as increase gathering limits across the commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

For residents of State College, many local businesses continue to close amid the pandemic. However, a new seafood and cocktail restaurant is hoping to be a ânice little surpriseâ for the community, according to partner and co-owner Tim Riefel.
Central Reservation opened in downtown State College on the corner of Beaver Avenue and Allen Street for takeout in July and dine-in in August.
The restaurant is attached to Riefelâs other restaurant in State College, Local Whiskey, which opened in 2012.
According to Riefel, the restaurant is operating in accordance with current Pennsylvania coronavirus guidelines that allow for 50% indoor capacity.
The restaurant is not limited to ages 21 and over, and Riefel said they are working on developing a âmore expansive and creativeâ mocktail menu for those under 21.
