A note from the Waterfront Team regarding special meal preferences:
The Waterfront Team is happy to accommodate pre-approved vegetarians and gluten-free meal options. They do request that you please have your name tag with your dietary preference indicated. This ensures efficient service and are the meals they are prepared to serve the named guest.
If you have special needs outside of the listed vegetarians and gluten-free guests, they ask that you please RSVP by Tuesday to Niki Pohnl, so they can have the available accommodations for you. While they understand that their will always be times where a guest has not RSVP’ed, they will try their absolute best to accommodate. However, please understand, that this may result in slower service and delivery of a specific meal, as they would not have been prepared ahead of time with these accommodations.
The Waterfront Team thanks you for your business, looks forward to serving you each week, and appreciates your patience and cooperation.

Per current CDC guidelines, when a county is in low COVID risk level, wearing masks indoors is optional.
According to the CDC's guidelines, individuals in communities at this level should stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines and get tested if you have symptoms, but wear a mask indoors in public if you choose. However, additional precautions may be needed for people at high risk for severe illness. People may choose to mask at any time. If you have been exposed to COVID-19 or test positive, we ask that you follow the CDC guidelines for quarantining/isolating.
