Mesa launches food delivery to downtown communal dining area
Posted
The city of Mesa and the Downtown Mesa Association have started a Downtown Dash service to deliver meals directly to your table at a new communal outdoor dining space, al Fresco off Main.
“Order from a dozen restaurants, give your order to the al Fresco host and Downtown Dash will deliver,” according to a release.
Downtown Dash hours are 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and 4-7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday. Live music is planned during lunch and dinner hours at al Fresco off Main and will continue with varied musical acts through Saturday.
Here’s how it works:
Review menus available at each table at al Fresco off Main;
Order meal and pay by phone, online or via QR Code;
Fill out al Fresco card and wave down host; and
Downtown Dash will deliver your food when it’s ready at no extra cost.
Al Fresco off Main launched last month in downtown Mesa as a designated area with outdoor distanced seating where people can bring food they ordered from any downtown Mesa restaurant to enjoy their meal in the middle of downtown. Closing off half of the first block of MacDonald Street off Main, the provided seating offers a safe, socially distanced, fine-weather dining option, the release states.
Al Fresco off Main continues through April and is to be offered seven days a week.
The tables and chairs, provided by the city and Mesa Arts Center, also include fencing around the area, signage, hand sanitizer and wipes, and staff cleaning the chairs and tables throughout the day.
