Patio Dining: The New Normal at 7 Mile House

We are SUPER excited to announce that starting Sunday, June 7, 2020, we at 7 Mile House will be able to serve you in our patio and extended outdoor dining (yahooooooooo!).

Please understand that we just found out about this news on June 5th so many things will remain the same (for now) such as hours and menu because we need to adjust staffing, inventory, operations, technology, etc. Basically, the whole restaurant was turned upside down when we opened for takeout and now we have to turn it right side up (well, kinda). It is really more complicated than you think so please bear with us.

We have to be very careful opening up to the public not only for health and safety reasons for my staff and for you all but, financially, this remains to be a painful journey. You will notice that some restaurants may decide to only do takeout and not even open up outdoor dining despite the opportunity because we restaurant owners have to examine what is feasible for us to do without breaking the bank.

In short, this opportunity does not guarantee our viability. It is an opportunity to test the waters. Things may change. This may not even work because our expenses might end up to be too high with the very small capacity we may be able to use.

The key here is baby steps. We are super excited about opening up and we hope you are too but we hope you understand that 7 Mile House must be careful embarking on these new opportunities in order for us to stay open for you and for our employees. Thank you for your time and understanding and we hope to see you seated at tables very soon!

3. Maximum of 6 people in a group and must be from the same household.

4. Time limits must be imposed to avoid loitering: 1-4 people can stay for 1.5 hours maximum while tables with 5-6 people can stay for 2 hours maximum. Countdown starts after you order. Sorry but the government does not want anyone to “hang out” yet.
