Several will be able to open right away on February 12, while we expect many others to follow suit in the weeks to come.”

Restaurants currently planning to reopen for indoor dining on Friday include: Anthony’s at the Old Mill District, Flatbread Neapolitan Pizzeria , Greg’s Grill on the Deschutes, Hola! Naked Winery,  Pastini, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers & Brews, Va Piano Vineyards, Boxwood Kitchen (scheduled to reopen indoor dining Saturday, February 13)
