Los Angeles County has settled its suit with an Agoura Hills restaurant that repeatedly defied public health officials’ outdoor dining ban. The settlement last week ended a months-long standoff that saw Cronies Sports Grill operating without a public health permit for most of 2021. An additional $25,000 in civil penalties is suspended unless the restaurant violates county codes or the current county health order. The city of Agoura Hills also filed a criminal complaint earlier this year against the restaurant for operating without a business license and health permit, Foldes said. The seeming conclusion of the Cronies suit comes in direct contrast to the situation involving Burbank’s Tinhorn Flats restaurant, which also repeatedly flouted COVID dining restrictions.
