Is this the same BAZ with all the outdoor pergolas and such around the house?
Unless she's Betty White and insist on going out (to a certain venue she loves and wants to see), spend the $$$ on a good homemade spread and enjoy the company of family in house. In the end, it's all about family good times.
The other factor I've dealt with lately- With all the work shortages and such, some the the local places have been a bit "spotty" lately. Why risk the family outing with poor service, long waits, or cold food???? (I've had all three of these happen recently-in $$$ places I wouldn't have expected) She doesn't deserve that one bit!
This isn't even necessarily about covid.
Kick up the party- and-
Just Enjoy! :
