Glasspar Restaurant Ready to Safely Reopen
Glasspar restaurant in Dana Point is ready to safely reopen. Chef-owner Rob Wilson and his team have gone through California’s 12-page document and 90-point guideline for resuming dine-in service. Since the guidelines were released last week, Glasspar has retrofitted its restaurant and made adjustments to service to meet and exceed the State’s proposed guidelines by removing tables, installing sanitizing stations, and providing the staff with RealShield™ PPE.
With a superior menu of sustainable seafood and stunning interiors, Glasspar made a splash in Dana Point when it opened in December 2019. The classic American seafood hall focuses on thoughtfully sourced, respectfully prepared, and creatively presented ingredients. Together, with his wife Annique Wilson and childhood friend Kirk Waldfogel, Wilson proudly presents Glasspar.
While many of the State’s Individual Control Measures and Cleaning and Disinfecting Protocols were already part of Glasspar’s standard operating procedure, Wilson has implemented the following additional safety measures:
For Guests
Installed hands-free door openers to restroom doors
Added 6 additional EcoLab sanitizing stations available to guests throughout the restaurant
An overnight cleaning crew will disinfect the restaurant with a COVID-19-sanitizing fog, twice a week
All surfaces will be thoroughly sanitized with EcoLab’s peroxide disinfectant (recommended for COVID-19 disinfecting)
Reconfigured and removed tables so that guests will dine a minimum of 6-feet apart (the 8,000 square foot restaurant can still safely seat over 200 guests)
Redesigned menus for single-use
PPE for Employees

cloth is recommended by the State and allows the mask to be breathable and anti-fogging
