Take-Out Options For Tri-Valley Diners: Coronavirus

TRI-VALLEY, CA — Sick of home cooking? Dining in at California restaurants is still a no-go due to concerns about spread of the new coronavirus, but some Tri-Valley restaurants are offering take-out or delivery to serve customers.

Local tourism group Visit Tri-Valley is normally focused on marketing the region to visitors, but things have taken a turn in recent days.

"We will have nothing for the visitors if we don't take care of our business, of our locals," said Robin Fahr, Visit Tri-Valley director of marketing and communications.

Visit Tri-Valley is compiling a list of local restaurants that are continuing to serve customers as part of its new Take Out Tri-Valley campaign. Wineries and breweries — which have also been ordered not to serve pours on site — are also included on the list.

The Town of Danville, Livermore Downtown, Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce and City of Dublin have compiled their own lists for local restaurants.

Among the Visit Tri-Valley list are local favorites such as Vic's All Star Kitchen, First Street Alehouse and Salt Craft.

Grocers offering pick-up service, such as Meadowlark Dairy, are also included.

"It goes without saying that our local businesses are what make the Tri-Valley unique, and they rely on spending to keep their doors open so they can provide for their families," Visit Tri-Valley said on the Tri-Valley To Go page. "It is imperative that we support these businesses financially during this time of uncertainty."

Customers are encouraged to share their experience with local restaurants on social media with the hashtag #takeouttrivalley.

Visit Tri-Valley encourages patrons of temporarily closed businesses to purchase a gift card.

As the official destination management organization for the Tri-Valley, our focus is the safety and health of our community and also the viability of our local economy. In light of the recent shelter in place mandate issued yesterday, we have been working with our community members to find ways that we can help lessen the impact that COVID-19 will have on our local businesses. It goes without saying that our restaurants are what help make the Tri-Valley a fantastic place to live and a unique place to visit. These businesses rely on spending to keep their doors open so they can provide for their families. It is imperative that we support them financially during this time of uncertainty. We are deeply moved by what our communities have already done to support each other and their local commerce, and have been overwhelmed by so many asking what they can do to help. The answer is this: support your local restaurants. We are encouraging residents to participate in #trivalleytogo by supporting restaurants, breweries, and wineries who are currently taking every safety precaution and adjusting their operations to offer pick-up, delivery, and special to-go menus during this unprecedented situation. We’ll be keeping an updated listing of which restaurants are open for business and can use your support.
