Spokesmen for the police and fire departments could not immediately clarify whether the Gold Coast restaurant was seating outdoor or indoor diners. Statewide Tier 3 coronavirus restrictions and the local stay-at-home order — recently extended to Jan. 22 — ban indoor seating.
A Gibson’s manager declined to comment Wednesday night.
