Our priority is
your health and safety

Welcome Back!
As we re-open, we are excited to return to what we are most passionate about- creating wonderful food and beverage experiences for our clients and guests.
We will work hard to gain your trust in this uncertain time and keep it as we navigate the new normal for food service and events and the responsibility that we have to provide a safe environment for our employees and guests.
Reopening requires a reimagination of the way we’ve operated in the past, so we’re following guidelines we developed in conjunction with guidelines from federal, state, and local authorities, as well as the CDC.
We are marking each of our service locations as “Safe Cafés” when they meet the strict standards we have put in place. Thank you for scanning the QR code on the “Safe Café” poster to learn more about everything this site has done to earn the “Safe Café” designation, which you will see below.
For now, please know that our priority is your health and safety- you are at the forefront of our operational decisions.
In Good Health,
The Constellation Culinary Group team
