The restaurant is located at 2300 First St #120, Livermore, CA 94550.

Restaurant officials sent the following statement: 

“This afternoon we were contacted by Department of Public Health that they would be informing the public that we had a guest in our Livermore restaurant on March 23 who had been exposed to the measles virus.
