Update: La Scala, after catching heat for promoting an indoor “speakeasy” style New Year’s Eve dining experience, has responded to the backlash and explained the intended meaning of its invitations.
With an Instagram post, La Scala clarified that it planned to open back up for outdoor dining services after the dining ban, set to expire on Monday, had been lifted. While the statement does not go against its initial advertisements of a New Year’s Eve “speakeasy,” the restaurant says the language of the invitation may be to blame.
“Unfortunately, the person that wrote it tried to add some levity and said inside instead of outside. It didn’t come out as intended, how we wanted to be represented nor how we wanted to represent ourselves,” the statement says.
The restaurant’s social media post goes on to offer condolences for those who have lost loved ones to Covid-19 and to struggling business owners.
