Baltimore restaurants call a judge’s decision to uphold the mayor’s dining ban a disappointment, but remain optimistic the restrictions will be overturned.
Phillips Seafood restaurant released a statement saying, ”The Phillips Family and restaurant management are extremely disappointed in the ruling. The decision hurts our staff and business.”
Morgan McCully, who is a bartender at Cat’s Eye Pub in Fells Point, also expressed dissatisfaction with the judge’s ruling. He believes the city should roll back restrictions and allow restaurants to open at 25 percent capacity
“Go down to even 15 percent,” he said. “At least something so people can still get through the next couple months and try and recoup what they loss already.”
McCully added, “I’m hopeful that we can find a way to all agree and be safe and still be able to operate at something a little bit more than where we are now.”
Speak for one, speak for all. We ALL are hurting.
