But since where's still going through a pandemic, Chef Jose Sarasola's restobar implemented safety measures during the quarantine period to keep his patrons and employees safe.

He explained, “It's good for around 40 to 50 people, pero since nasa pandemic tayo ngayon, we can only fit 50%. So, around 20 pax (persons) lang tayo. And of course, your safety is of outmost importance.”

Chef Jose's restobar has three areas: the main area or ground floor, the mezzanine area or second floor, and a VIP area called The Lounge.
