Devastating news yesterday from the City of Vancouver: Our patio application under the TEPP has been denied. We have decided that we will have to temporarily close our doors again after tomorrow’s service.
For 2 years we’ve been trying to open dialogue with the City of Vancouver and work together with them to get patio approval along Main Street.
Our contractors have had nothing but a hard time getting any straight reason why or why not we’d ever be able to get a patio.
When we heard about the TEPP (Temporary Expedited Patio Program), we were excited. We are in dire times, and expediting patio permits are essential for restaurants to survive.
