Innovative Dining Options Open in Downtown Santa Ana

5/28/2020

Since the start of the statewide stay-at-home order issues on March 19th, members and business owners of Downtown Santa Ana have ensured all covid-19 related safety guidelines and protocols are being implemented.

The OC is now in early 
Stage 2 of the Resilience Roadmap which allows DTSA restaurants to be able to accommodate dine-in guests and allow retailers will open their doors, with specific regulations.

Santa Ana has innovatively joined a handful of US cities to deploy al fresco dining by creating eight temporary parklets along 4th St/Calle Cuatro along with opening restaurant patios and limited-capacity indoor dining.


Special measures that are reinvigorating downtown's dining ecosystem at this time:
  • Sidewalk Dining – Santa Ana is one of the first cities in the country to allow restaurants to place small tables & chairs for outdoor dining (without impeding pedestrians from walking)
  • Food Island – around 22+ parklet dining areas have been added in downtown
  • Indoor Dining - businesses have re-opened indoor dining (update: revoked in July)
  • Outdoor Patios –  limited-capacity with social distancing in place
  • Free Takeout Parking - there are 18 take-out only Free parking spaces across downtown
  • Free 2 Hour Parking Structures - the parking structures provide 2 Hours Free Parking​​

Along with these temporary enforcements restaurants and retail shops are asking their customers to continue wearing face masks, and are limiting their operation hours and restricting their capacity. As a result, reservations may be the best bet to secure your dining spot! 

​Some restaurants that are now open for sidewalk, patio or inside dining include:
