La Jolla may have a climate that makes it possible to dine outdoors year-round, but that doesn’t mean local restaurants are turning down the opportunity to bring patrons back indoors.
San Diego County entered the orange tier of the state’s coronavirus reopening framework April 7, further easing restrictions and allowing more indoor activities. Among the changes is that indoor seating at restaurants and at bars that serve food has expanded to a maximum 50 percent of capacity, or 200 people, whichever is fewer.
