A number of Bay Area restaurants have started dine-in services after Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a plan to slowly reopen the state of California. Napa County is the first Bay Area county to allow restaurants to choose to reopen. This list will serve as an ongoing guide to which restaurants are offering dine-in service and continually be updated as we learn more information.
