    When outdoor dining was allowed to resume, owner Misty Mansouri was ready, having transformed the restaurant's blacktop parking lot into a garden filled with flowers, herbs and plants with private glass cabins. Image Credit: Reuters

    The investment has paid off as the governor has once again banned indoor dining in much of the state, having allowed restricted openings in late May, after coronavirus cases broke records and hospitalizations rose 50% in two weeks. Image Credit: Reuters

    Mansouri said the pods, which have windows to allow air flow, are cleaned and sanitized after each use and comply with guidelines issued by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Image Credit: Reuters

    "The CDC guidelines are really you just have to be six feet apart, right? I just went the extra step to make sure that people feel extra comfortable," she said. Image Credit: Reuters

    "Many of the people who have dined here, this has been their first experience and they feel super-safe." Mansouri was inspired by images of similar dining spaces in Europe. Dutch restaurant ETEN introduced glass dining huts on its waterside patio in May. Image Credit: Reuters

    Thessa Villegas, 34, who convinced her reluctant friend Rebecca High to go out for lunch by showing her the greenhouses on the cafe's website, called the experience the "holy grail of dining." Image Credit: Reuters

    The only drawback to the pods, Mansouri said, is that, although they have roof windows and fans, they can get warm inside during the heat of a Los Angeles summer day. Image Credit: Reuters

    "They're really lovely in the evening and they're really lovely in the morning," she said. Image Credit: Reuters
