A Few More Precautions

WFF_1866.jpg

The governor has set new restrictions on indoor gatherings to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

Effective Wednesday, November 18th, no guests will be able to dine inside our restaurant.

The new restrictions on restaurants are:

  • Indoor dining will not be allowed

  • To-go/delivery/curbside pick-up/drive-thru for restaurants will still be allowed

  • Outdoor dining is still allowed

  • Maximum table size for outdoor dining will be five guests

  • These will be statewide and in effect until Dec. 14

Washington restaurants have a different story than the rest of the country. We have worked closely with the Governor's office and public health throughout the pandemic to ensure our industry is safe with the right set of regulations. Fewer than one-half of one percent of cases are traced to restaurants.

What does this mean for us moving forward?

 Red Arrow Coffee

  • Thankfully, not too much will change from regular operations

  • Our heated and covered patio allows for us to continue business as usual

  • All our delicious food offerings are available for enjoyment outside, to-go and can be ordered online as much as two weeks in advance.

Brimmer & Heeltap

  • We will halt all inside dining after this evenings service

  • Our covered & heated patio will continue with “normal” dinner service Thursday-Sunday from 5-9 pm. Reservations highly recommended.

  • We only have six tables and will impose 90-minute table limits. We do not want you to feel rushed and can course things out so that it still feels relaxed and enjoyable.

  • Raclette will continue each Sunday alongside our regular dinner menu. You must make a special reservation for this to guarantee a platter.

  • All our delicious food offerings are available for enjoyment outside, to-go and can be ordered online as much as two weeks in advance. Cocktails & wine included!

  • We are adding a stock your bar section if you need any additional goodies for your home cocktail making recipes. You can swing by and purchase to-go or order online.

  • Our annual eggnog release is scheduled for Friday, November 27th from 3-5 pm. We have three boozy flavors: classic, espresso, turmeric-ginger. 750 ml bottles will be sold that day and we’ll also have some to enjoy in the coffee shop or in small vessels to-go. 750 ml bottles will be $45 each and can be reserved by emailing jen@brimmerandheeltap.com. Supplies limited!

  • Temperatures continue to be taken and hand sanitizer upon entry

My goal is to keep our existing team employed during this setback. Your support with take-out, wine & cheese clubs, gift cards, and virtual hugs means the world to us.

The only option is for us to make it on the other side of this pandemic because community is our everything. To say that it has been a devastating year for our industry is an understatement.

Because of the impact on the community at large, please consider supporting the virtual event hosted by the Ballard Food Bank. They provide food to families, elderly and those vulnerable. Due to the pandemic, their need has doubled! A fun & easy way to support is to join in this year’s Turkey Trot. Sign up by clicking here.

As always, know that we’re thinking of you & your families and wishing you the very best in these uncertain times.

Much love & appreciation,

Jen & team
