Charleston County has graciously given us access to the courtyard behind The Café till December 31st, 2020 to offset the restrictions placed on indoor dining because of Covid. We have created a beautiful and safe space for local diners that not only compliments the Charleston County Building and makes good use of the Courtyard but also strengthens our city as a tourist destination even during uncertain times. This forward-thinking pilot program has allowed us to remain open, call our employees back to work and further our sense of purpose in the downtown Charleston community we have called home for 36 years. This should be a model for expansion not subtraction. Unfortunately, Charleston County (not the City, not Mayor Tecklenburg) has signaled that it's time to go back to business as normal and will not extend our permit. Even with state mandated restrictions lifted, our tiny indoor communal seating is very limiting with social distancing in effect. We have followed all the CDC guidelines to keep our employees and customers safe and in doing so have further gained the trust of our community, but to remain viable we must continue to use the courtyard until business can truly return to normal. If you agree and want to see a downtown Charleston that includes Gaulart & Maliclet please sign our petition.
