When is Lord Essex The Steakhouse in Rochester, Minnesota going to reopen?

March 17th, 2020, Lord Essex The Steakhouse shared the following emotional message on their Facebook page:

Due to the current health crisis involving COVID-19 and guidelines put in place by the Minnesota Department of Health, we have had to make the unfortunate decision to temporarily close Lord Essex until further notice.
Carry out options will still be available from our sister restaurants: CB3, Salute Wine Bar and Grand Grill.
Please watch our pages for more information and re-opening details when they become available.

I reached out to them the other day to see when they would be reopening because I know they've got amazing steaks and meals, in fact, one of my interviews for a job was held in their restaurant. I also thought this might be a great place to go for Valentine's Day since one of my favorites, The Hubbell House, is currently closed for renovations.

According to the message that I received from Lord Essex The Steakhouse on February 4th, 2022:
