DC restaurant group planning to defy restrictions

 

A group that owns several restaurants in Washington, D.C., has come out against new restrictions on bars and restaurants announced by Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) amid the coronavirus outbreak, saying its locations will remain open.

 

In a statement that appears to have been shared on Facebook and was captured by Washingtonian food editor Jessica Sidman, the Hill Restaurant Group (HRG), which owns Hawk 'n' Dove, Lola's, Willie's and other eating spots, said its businesses will "continue to operate as normal."

 

"The safety and comfort of our patrons has and always will be a top concern for us at all of our Hill Restaurant Group restaurants," the group wrote. "Our staff has been trained to maintain even stricter safety precautions to protect our guests."

 

"In light of recent developments, all HRG restaurants will continue to operate as normal and we encourage our fellow industry folks to do the same," it continued. "We understand the gravity of effects that the Corona Virus [sic] has or will have on our community especially the hospitality industry."
