Sal & Phil’s receives approval for outdoor dining options
RIDGELAND — A seafood restaurant here will improve its outdoor dining options after city officials gave the go-ahead last Tuesday.
Community Development Director Alan Hart presented a petition and application for a dimensional variance for Casey Wagner and Jimmie Herrington of Sal & Phil’s seafood restaurant on Old Canton Road.
Hart said that the variance will allow them to improve their existing outdoor dining space to “help combat COVID.”
The restaurant will make improvements to the existing outdoor seating on the side of the building facing Raintree Road.
