Prime Quarter in Princeton reopened Wednesday.
Al Sanger, who also operates Prime Quarters in Green Bay and Racine, Wis., said there were about 95 people on the first night at the Princeton restaurant.
"The reception has been great. Whether it's Princeton, Ill., or Green Bay, for the most part, the customers have been exemplary. They understand the magnitude of this pandemic," Sanger said.
Sanger had initially targeted a Sept. 14 reopening for Princeton, but had to push it back a month.
"When this pandemic hit in March, I did not have the magic crystal ball, but I had anticipated we would not see a return-to-normal business until fall," he told the Bureau County Republican. "Initially, I thought Labor day, school, football. We'd be back to 60-70% of business. It's not turning out that way."
The Princeton restaurant can seat over 220 patrons but is only allowed to operate at 25% capacity at this time.
Prime Quarter has had to make adjustments. It is not allowing customers to grill their own steaks in Princeton, which has been a staple of its atmosphere. There is a new deli in the lobby that showcases their cuts of steaks.
