In addition, tables have to be six feet apart, and servers and customers have to wear masks.
Long-suffering restaurant owners and managers say they are happy to comply.
"We've been turning things over. We ordered all new silverware, because now we're doing both indoor and outdoor," said Linda Milne, manager of Leo's.
"Everything's got to be sanitized," said waitress Liz Micalizzi. "Waiters and waitresses have to wear our masks. Customers, our guests, are allowed in the restaurant with a mask. Only when they're eating or drinking is that allowed to come off."

That order on masks does go further than some other places: you have to keep your mask on even after sitting down, and it must stay on until your food arrives.
