The Washington, D.C., restaurant where Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) and his wife, Heidi Cruz, were confronted by protesters says that the couple returned shortly after leaving the establishment Monday evening, where they finished their meal in peace.
The owner of Fiola said in a statement obtained by CNN’s Kate Bennett that the restaurant “welcomes all patrons,” adding that the situation was resolved and Cruz and his wife returned “a few minutes” after the altercation began.
“Per our policy for events of this nature, police were called and the guest escorted to privacy,” owner and chef Fabio Trabocchi said.
“When the situation resolved a few minutes later, our guests returned to thank the staff for their support and to finish their exceptional meal,” he added.

Trabocchi went on to say that “politics — like elbows — are best left off the dining table.”
