Earlier this fall, New Castle County announced its Winter Ready Restaurant Grant program in an effort to support local Delaware restaurants as they prepared their outdoor spaces for colder climates. These grants have allowed several of our Downtown Wilmington DE restaurants to keep outdoor dining a viable and comfortable option for restaurant goers with additional heaters, lighting, and furniture,
Restaurants, such as Bardea, have used these grants to expand their outdoor seating for comfortable open-air dining. Bardea co-owner Scott Stein wants the restaurant to be a safe space for customers to feel good knowing protocol is being taken seriously and they can step away from the current struggles and enjoy a good meal.
“I just want people to feel comfortable,” he says.
The Bardea Winter Garden is open for reservation along with many other Downtown Wilmington DE restaurants that have benefited from the Winter Ready Grants. Please visit them today and continue to support small during this difficult time.
Applications are still being accepted for Winter Ready Grants. For more information, click here.
