BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston has temporarily closed Salt Bae’s new steakhouse for failing to follow COVID-19 safety guidelines, just days after the Instagram star opened the eatery.
Nusr-Et on Arlington Street was ordered to cease operations and shut its doors for allegedly violating coronavirus regulations and having blocked fire exits.
The Boston Licensing Board received numerous complaints regarding COVID violations, some which were documented on social media, when the restaurant opened to the public on Sept. 18, according to the city’s Inspectional Services Department.
Other alleged violations over the course of several days included allowing for long lines and crowds of patrons who weren’t practicing social distancing.
The restaurant also had its liquor license temporarily suspended.
A licensing board hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday.
