She told WBZ that the restaurant — like many other restaurants throughout the country — is facing even more challenges as the weather gets colder and coronavirus cases are starting to rise again. 

“Especially with the winter months coming, we’re much slower,” Twomey said. “We don’t have all the tables outside anymore. COVID is on the rise. People are getting nervous to dine inside again.”
