NOTICE:
WE WILL BE REOPENING wednesday JANUARY 26th!
COVID SHUTDOWN NOTICE:
December, 30th, 2021 – January 25th, 2022
We deeply regret to announce that we have been forced to cancel all year end reservations at OWAMNI due to Covid-19 concerns (DEC 30-JAN 2). We have had staff members testing positive this week, and out of an abundance of caution to our staff and guests we have made the decision to close a few days early for before our January break. The health of our staff and community is paramount and we chose to be on the side of safety and well being (People over Profits). We will be reopening January 19th for our Winter Dinner Series. When we reopen, we will require a proof of vaccination to be seated. All cancelled reservations for this three day closure (DEC 30 – JAN 2) will be given priority for Winter 2022 bookings.
