“We look forward to welcoming our guests back very soon and are dedicated to continuing to deliver an unparalleled dining experience,” said Kyle Collins, Director of Marketing for Patina in Florida.
The remaining Patina Restaurant Group-operated locations at Disney Springs including Maria & Enzo’s, Enzo’s Hideaway, and The Edison are expected to resume operations in the near future too.
The “Dine Safe: Commitment to Care” program created by the Patina Restaurant Group is a set of reengineered operating procedures designed to minimize contact risk and bolster hygiene protocol that meet or exceed the best-practice guidelines recommended by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
“These heightened sanitation standards will help us manufacture a dining environment that keeps guests and our team members as safe as possible,” said Collins. “The health, wellbeing, and peace of mind of our guests, team members, and the community remain our highest priorities.”
