Restaurants in Manitoba are now allowed to welcome diners inside for the first time since November, under the new set of relaxed public health orders.
A new capacity limit of 25% is in effect for restaurants, along with a few other measures that may be familiar to those who dined out during code orange.
At MR MIKES SteakhouseCasual in Dauphin, general manager Katey Mowat says after the past few months only being allowed to open for take-out — they’re excited to welcome customers back.
“We have guests that have supported this establishment since the first brick was laid,” said Mowat, adding there are a few new measures in place for patrons to be aware of.
In addition to the 25% capacity limit, restaurant-goers at licensed establishments can only be served liquor if a meal has been purchased.
Also, patrons may only sit at tables with people they live, in groups capped at five.
MR MIKES in Dauphin officially opened Saturday, and will now be open to patrons daily from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m.
“Everything is stacked on top of what was mandatory during code orange,” says Mowat, pointing to the continuation of the rule requiring masks only be removed when seated at a table.
Some new rules for Manitoba restaurants now mandate food cannot be served for dine-in service between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., and liquor cannot be sold or served between the hours of 10 p.m. and 9 a.m.''
The MR MIKES general manager says she’s really proud of her team for supporting one another through a challenging time, and for being so diligent with things like enhanced cleaning protocols.
“We’ve all grown through this and to be able to support each other — whether it’s management, servers, cooks, dishwashers — it’s all super important. I really appreciate that mentality within the walls of MR. Mikes," says Mowat.

The Dauphin and District Chamber of Commerce is holding a Lunch-N-Learn next week to get businesses prepared for the tax season.
Dauphin Chamber Executive Director Stephen Chychota says it’ll be held on Wednesday, February 17th over the noon hour, on Zoom.
“We’re going to be joined by Jordan Pernarowski and Katie Pernarowski from MNP Dauphin and going to be going over taxes and how COVID is playing a role in that and just want to prepare businesses and business owners out there with the amount of programming that the businesses may have taken advantage of, or the employees may have taken advantage of, just how it all fits and works together and what to expect.”
Chychota says the Lunch-N-Learn will touch on a whole array of things.
“COVID played a factor on any business out there in some way, shape, or form. Some are going to have a loss of revenue, some are going to have costs associated like employee wages, some are going to be maybe having to show excess revenue and they’ve actually made more than what they’ve ever done before. So, how does that all play a factor, and then the programming too.”
During the presentation, Katie will be taking an agricultural spin, looking at programs for the ag industry, how they work, and what it’ll look like, reflecting on the tax season for the business.
Chychota says this is a great opportunity for businesses to ask some questions before speaking to their accountant.
You can register by calling the chamber at (204) 622-3140 or by going to their website, it costs $10 for chamber members and $15 for non-chamber members.

Just before 11 a.m. this morning, the Dauphin Fire Department responded to a small fire at the Dauphin Regional Health Centre.
They received reports of general fire alarms and upon arrival were informed of a small fire in one of the emergency rooms because of some construction work.
Hospital maintenance staff extinguished the fire before the DFD arrived, but wanted to ensure there weren’t any embers that may have carried in the wall space.
Firefighters used thermal imaging to scan the area and found nothing of concern.
