§ 8.20.020.310. Restaurant.  


Latest version.
  • "Restaurant" means a space in a suitable building kept, used, maintained, advertised or held out to be a public place where hot, complete meals are prepared and cooked on the premises, ordered from and served by waiters or waitresses to tables or booths providing a seating capacity for at least fifty persons in a room separate from the kitchen. All meals shall be selected and ordered by the customer from tables or booths and from a prepared menu at a stipulated price. If the restaurant allows admittance of minors and is operated in conjunction with a tavern, the dining room shall be divided and separated from the bar and/or lounge area by a structural barrier sufficient to exclude minors from the bar-lounge area. If the restaurant does not allow the admittance of minors, no physical separation of the restaurant from the bar/lounge is required, but a sign must be posted at the entrance to the business which states that the entrance of minors is prohibited. The stools at the bar, or seats in a lounge or outside dining area, are not included as restaurant seating. Any restaurant having a drive-thru/walk-up window does not qualify for a liquor license.
