By now you’ve probably checked and called all of your favorite restaurants in the city to see if they’re open. And while some eateries have taken the process slowly, some have also unfortunately closed altogether. But many favorite dining spots in Cincinnati have returned to business as usual, save the social distancing and digital menus.
Salazar Restaurant Group, the team behind Goose & Elder, Salazar and Latin cuisine destination Mita’s, is ready for guests to reclaim the dining experience. Chef José Salazar has announced the reopening to in-person dining at all three of his restaurants.
The food will be as good as ever, but your experience will come with some changes.
Before heading to one of Salazar’s locations, guests are asked to first assess their own health. Reservations are also requested for all of Salazar’s restaurants to ensure proper social distancing and to reduce capacity. Upon arrival to each location, guests will have their temperature taken via forehead scanner to ensure the safety of you, your party and all other guests.
His flagship OTR eatery Salazar has also taken advantage of the city's new program to expand outdoor seating into streets and sidewalks and has created an expanded patio space.

Back in May, Mita's teamed up with chef Edward Lee's The LEE Initiative program to transform the restaurant into a relief center for employees in the food and beverage industry that had been affected by coronavirus-related closures. The center provided aid for restaurant workers who were laid off or experienced a significant pay reduction or reduction in hours. They offered to-go dinners as well as supplies like diapers, baby food, canned foods and cereals, toilet paper, paper towels, aspirin, notebooks and pencils and more.
