South Asian American restaurant Tailor Nashville will reopen on Thursday, Aug. 6. Initially, Tailor will offer one seating at 7 p.m. per night, Thursday through Sunday, with reservations capped at 50 percent capacity to ensure proper social distancing between guests.
“We’ve given careful thought to the way we can safely reopen for our guests given the current conditions, and in many ways I’m excited for the opportunity to have just one seating per night as it allows us to really slow down and enjoy the experience alongside our guests,” said Vivek Surti, culinary creator of Tailor in a statement. “We’ve always prided ourselves with the personal attention we can give each guest and every dish we serve, and we see this as an opportunity to lean in even more to that service-centered philosophy.”
