REOPENING STRATEGY ANNOUNCEMENTS

While restaurants are allowed to open at 100%, they are still required to practice social distancing and tables must be 6’ apart. Stonehenge Grille cannot accommodate 100% occupancy and also comply with the social distancing rules so our guest seating capacity is approximately 60%.
Reservations are still required for indoor and porch seating right outside the Grille. The metal tables on and near the deck are now first come first serve all day but those with “Reserved” signs on them should not be used.
The Farmers’ Market
held each Wednesday at the Square will begin on June 10. The vendor tables will be set up so that good social distancing can be achieved. For those attending this popular event, we appreciate your cooperation with proper social distancing and wearing face coverings.

to re-evaluate our actions as the situation develops, however we must continue to follow all the public health advisories, and will continue to act in the best interests of our community as a whole.
