CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Missing Olive Garden's unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks? Or perhaps you've been craving a Texas Tonion from LongHorn Steakhouse?
The wait is almost over as some of your favorite casual chain restaurants are reopening for indoor dining this week.
Darden Restaurants, which operates Olive Garden, LongHorn, Yard House and the Capital Grille, is opening its dining rooms at all of its Greater Cleveland locations Thursday in accordance with the state’s guidelines, a company rep confirmed.
The restaurants have been takeout-only since March 16.
The company will be implementing enhanced safety measures customers have now come to expect: healthy employees wearing face coverings, frequent table cleanings, reconfigured layouts for physical distancing and hand sanitizing stations. Darden is asking customers to make reservations or use call-ahead seating to limit crowds, not congregate in the lobby or bar, and wear a mask when not at the table.
Darden has 15 restaurants in Greater Cleveland including Olive Gardens in Beachwood, Parma, North Olmsted and Middleburg Heights; LongHorn Steakouses in Strongsville, Independence, Solon, Rocky River, Avon, Fairlawn, Medina, Cuyahoga Falls and Mentor; a Yard House at Crocker Park and Capital Grille at Legacy Village.
