The Los Angeles County Health Department ordered restaurants, breweries, wineries and bars to halt outdoor dining, which took effect Wednesday, Nov. 25, due to a surge in coronavirus cases. As restaurants struggle during this time of year, here are some making the pivot once again to focus solely on takeout and delivery. Please consider supporting these local favorites by ordering food and purchasing gift cards for the holidays.
