According to Second City Cop - a blog devoted to police issues, a tipster sent photos of themselves dining in at Tunney's restaurant, Ann Sather. The photo includes a placemat menu for the restaurant, a copy of the New York Times from December 3, and clearly shows people dining in.

In a Monday article in the Chicago Sun Times, Tunney acknowledged having defied Governor J.B. Pritzker's order, saying "We have, on occasion, sat regular diners in the back of the restaurant. I acknowledge that. It's not OK. I made a mistake, and I'm owning up to it. I should have not sat regular customers in my restaurant whatsoever."

"I have a lot of repeat customers over the years. On a sporadic basis, I have let regular customers — very few and far between — in my store. I made an error," he added.
