What city?

Not sure what city OP is in, but every Bay Area county did that today.
The jurisdictions I'm aware of that have banned dining room service include:
Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, several places in the Bay Area, New York, New Jersey, Washington, Illinois, Ohio.
Basically, at this point, whenever a few large jurisdictions announce their intentions to take some coronavirus measures (such as closing schools or closing restaurants), everyone else follows through within 48 hours.
This is happening across all of North Carolina tonight.

All of Oregon just started today as well
Louisiana closed all bars and limited restaurants to takeout, delivery, or drive-thru service only.

Not sure about above poster, but I can confirm Dallas did this yesterday.
Ft. Worth cut capacity in half. No ones coming in anyway. The city is probably just trying to buy a couple weeks before going all in.
Even Bozeman, MT has closed its restaurants, cafes, and bars.
And Colorado as well.
And Minnesota as of 5pm today (2020-03-17).
Illinois and Ohio, I know at least
