The City Council last week approved the restaurant’s request for a permit allowing outdoor performances. TASTE hosted acoustic bands two summers ago but halted the concerts after learning the restaurant’s business permit didn’t allow live music. The free music performances, “Live on the Lawn,” are expected to run on Fridays in the summer. The permit allows the concerts to go until 9 p.m.
