New state guidelines went into effect Monday allowing restaurants to serve at 100 percent capacity if they can keep tables six feet apart or separated by a barrier.
At Pain D’Avignon in Hyannis, chief operating officer Mario Mariani said seating at full capacity still isn’t possible for his restaurant, but he’s glad to see things moving forward.
“What changes is the attitude and the confidence of the dining public,” he said. “That, I welcome.”
Restaurants can also have live music, if they’re willing to devote the space.
Some say that won’t be practical until it can happen outdoors.
