The Jazz Kitchen is now re-open at 50% capacity following its temporary closure earlier this year due to COVID-19.

Updates include the installation of touch-less faucets, towel dispensers, and soap & sanitization stations throughout the restaurant; staff temperature checks prior to every shift; staff mask requirements for every shift; reduced and flexible floor plan to allow for social distancing; and disinfecting of all surfaces before and after every show. Patrons will be required to wear face coverings.
