To the editor:
It's evident some people are unhappy with the newly opened restaurant/bar at the gateway to our city, Tavern in the Square.
But the building itself replaced an eyesore and the Tavern owners did a superb job with both the interior and exterior of their business, for which they should be commended.
Instead they were reprimanded with a phony allegation of potential vermin, flies, etc. by the Board of Health simply because the owners wanted to have the front windows open to the world outside, lending to the feeling of an outdoor cafe.
If health is the reason for the complaint, then every establishment serving food outdoors must cease and desist the practice; which, of course, is just plain dumb and ill-advised.
Suffice to say if health were truly the reason for the complaint, the city of Boston would cause every Newbury Street restaurant to serve indoors only.
So it seems to me it must be those who are affected business-wise by the new kid on the block who find reason to complain!
