They’ve experienced financial ruin — leaving many unable to recover from the loss of revenue from having to adapt to Covid-19 protocols. But the Bay Area’s gastronomy is recovering. Restaurants and bars are reopening; parklets have ushered in a new era of al fresco dining; takeout and to-go options can now exist alongside indoor restaurant eating.
