Mesa Moreira is also hosting a gift-card drive
"Our family has been working tirelessly to bring our beloved Portuguese restaurant, Mesa Moreira, to life in downtown York. We've spent countless hours learning the ropes, pouring our hearts and souls into every aspect of the business. But, despite our best efforts, the past year has been a challenging one," said co-owner Christie Moreira.
Rising costs, building renovations and equipment expenses have prompted the family behind the business to establish a gift card drive. Gift Cards can be purchased in person or online , with $500 Gift Cards, priced at $325.
